After the University of Chicago published a letter saying it would not be giving in to campus crybullies and creating “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings,” a couple other college presidents rushed to tell students they would provide such protections.

U Chicago Dean of Students John Ellison wrote incoming freshman that his school would not use “trigger warnings” to allow students to hide from readings that may offend their sensibilities, would not cancel speakers just because some students disagree with what they say, and would not allow the creating of safe spaces that allow students to “retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own.”
