The University of Illinois campus police told students that they should report “acts of intolerance” to the university’s “bias assessment” team, including any comments that make an individual “feel unsafe” or “unwelcome.”

Students at the University of Illinois were reminded by the campus police that they can report “acts of intolerance” to the school’s Bias Assessment and Response Team (BART). Acts of intolerance can fall under a wide range of topics, which are then subjectively assessed by the school’s response team.

What can be considered “unsafe” in the world of today’s universities seems to be up to one’s own personal discretion, as recently demonstrated by the University of California San Francisco, which announced that providing everyone on campus with “preferred gender pronoun stickers” is also a matter of safety.

They need to start holding "Self-Criticism" sessions.

The whole concept of a Bias Assessment and Response Team is intolerable.
