UChicago's anti-safe spaces letter isn’t about academic freedom. It’s about power.

'I’ve been teaching on the college level for 18 years, and I also direct my
university’s Teaching and Learning Center, so I’ve been following the debate
over "trigger warnings," "safe spaces," and the purported scourge of "political
correctness" for quite a while. Despite the apocalyptic tone that often
accompanies screeds against supposedly coddled students and their trigger-free
safe spaces, the issues involved strike me as far more complicated than the
overheated rhetoric suggests.'

Another reason to consider student-owned universities.  Via Susan Stone.
