Campus Climate Change
There are teams of university officials at hundreds of universities in the United States in place to make sure that it doesn’t. “As campuses across the nation become venues for intense and partisan debate, universities are forming teams to protect students from being targeted for their beliefs or backgrounds while supporting the freedoms of speech, expression and assembly,” the University of Texas at San Antonio announced on March 29, 2018. “The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) joined this growing national action in November with the creation of a Campus Climate Team.”
“The team actively addresses bias incidents and their impact on the university community. More than 230 such teams exist at universities around the country.”
We still need to find out:
a.) Whether those same universities have speech codes; and
b.) Whether those teams have ever acted on behalf of campus conservatives.
