University of Oregon Identifies Administrators With Too Much Time on Their Hands

From The Regressive Left:

Students, faculty, and staff who feel threatened, harassed, intimidated, triggered, microaggressed, offended, ignored, under-valued, or objectified because of their race, gender, gender identity, sexuality, disability status, mental health, religion, political affiliation, or size are encouraged to contact the BRT.

The team is composed of seven administrators, which include Oregon’s “multicultural inclusion support specialist,” LGBT director, and “Native American Retention Specialist.” The BRT’s goal is to eradicate bias on campus, making Oregon a safer place. Bias is defined as “any physical, spoken, or written act” that targets another person, even unintentionally. The team’s posters propose examples of bias incidents: statements like “Thanks, sweetie,” and “I don’t see color,” apparently qualify. 

More on this from Minding the 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.”
