Watch Out For The Campus Bias Team

Some 100 American colleges encourage their students to report offensive occurrences of non-criminal bias on campus.

Writing in The Washington Post, Catherine Rampell tells us that the University of Oregon’s “bias report team” counted 85 incidents in the past year. including these:

A poster featuring a “triggering image” displaying “body size” bias.
Sexually explicit doodles on Post-its.
Too little coverage of transgender students in the newspaper.
A professor joking that a nontraditional student was “too old to answer a question about current events.”
One student “reported that a tutor consistently ignores him,” and tagged the incident as “Bias Type: Age, Ethnicity, Gender, Race.” Students have also asked administrators to regulate speech in other ways.
