Student Union Bans Microaggressions On Campus

Share this article

The graduate student union at the University of Washington doesn’t like microaggressions, so they’ve decided to ban it. Not a joke:

“The University of Washington’s “academic student employees” are voting this week on whether hurting someone’s feelings should be “grievable” under their union’s contract with the school.

If approved, it would be the first known university union contract in the country to protect teaching assistants, tutors, readers and similar student employees against “microaggressions” in the workplace.”
