University of Chicago Tells Incoming Students: Don't Expect Safe Spaces or Trigger Warnings

[ancianita]

205. Some students are around but classes don't start 'til Sept. 26.

Not saying thisdiscussion is moot, but we'll see if any issues get future attention in the Chicago Maroon or other local media.

This is, by all appearances, the safest space in Chicago. When classes are in, there is a security guard at every campus intersection and streets surrounding the campus proper; also there are well lit 24-hour call boxes all over the Hyde Park area, shuttle buses designated for off-campus housing around nearby Lake Michigan. The UC police department is big, with all the police powers of the Chicago PD. All of which is particularly important for families of students attending from other continents. The Asian population here is big.

I live two blocks from campus. The physical safe spaces exist. The rest is academic.
