Safe Spaces, Trigger Warnings And The University Of Chicago; On Point, WBUR, 8/31/16
[Podcast] On Point, WBUR; Safe Spaces, Trigger Warnings And The University Of Chicago:
I’m a black UChicago graduate. Safe spaces got me through college.; Vox, 8/29/16
Cameron Okeke, Vox; I’m a black UChicago graduate. Safe spaces got me through college. :
"UChicago should know that trigger warnings and safe spaces exist to give those with firsthand experience a way to engage without sacrificing their well-being or safety. This accessibility is the key to a truly open marketplace of ideas and an essential pillar of academic freedom. Recklessly painting trigger warnings and safe spaces as enemies to academic freedom will only make UChicago a more hostile environment for marginalized first-years. Being diverse isn't easy and our diversity ain’t free. Don’t let us in if you can’t make room for us."
