At Pennsylvania State University, no hurt feeling is too small, no slight too inconsequential, no unintentionally biased statement too unimportant.
Administrators want to know it all.
The public university is in the midst of a massive campaign that encourages students not only to watch what they say, lest they offend someone, but also to report any and all biased statements to campus officials.
“There is no place for hate, overt or subtle, at Penn State – such actions do not represent our mutually held values,” Eric Barron, president of Penn State, stated in a recent message to the campus community.
“Penn State stands firmly behind free speech and free expression, even in those instances when the views being expressed are disturbing or insulting, or the actions hurtful,” Powers told The College Fix. “The First Amendment doesn’t just apply to those who express ideas with which we agree. It also applies to those whose ideas we may find challenging, repugnant or even appalling. By providing an outlet for individuals to report bias they have seen or experienced, we are giving them an equal right to express their thoughts and feelings on the matter.”

Wow, beyond freaking bizarre given that The University is potentially providing a public forum for LIBEL and SLANDER! People do not have a right to libel and slander those they do not like on a public forum. Given that there is no requirement to prove your accusations on this forum before posting and that it is being sponsored by The University using The University's Resources, I would think the The University is buying themselves a liability for people who can prove that they are being illegally slandered and libeled on the forum. This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard of and essentially amounts to The University taking sides and giving an "accuser" standing while presuming that the accused is guilty as charged on the forum - huh? These bastions of the "Ivory Tower" think this is in any way fair or appropriate to the rights of both parties???
Well, the University just lost any portion of my $1.5 billion dollar ticket was going to them. Instead, I will pay all the legal fees of anyone that sues the pants off of them for restricting freedom of speech.
Let's see, playing intramural softball at PSU and fired a fastball from left center to 3rd based to gun down the runner and I hit the baserunner in the head with the ball. He called me every name in the book and started to the outfield before changing his mind. could I turn him in for a hate crime? His language was pretty abusive until someone told him I was a Viet Nam vet.
"Microagressions"? Really? This is where we are now as a society? And by the way, I consider myself a slightly left of center moderate.
Penn State has morphed from "someplace special" to "no place special". It seems like not a day goes by that I am not embarrassed by some action, or lack thereof, by our "leadership".
Hey, wait a second. Did I and every other alum just get standing to sue the admin and bot for all the nasty and hurtful things they said about all us alumni?
If not, I say report EVERYTHING until the stupid system dies.

It's a pleasure to be investigated. I will do my best to assure the candy-ass investigators chase their tail till their head goes up their butt - wait a minute, maybe that's where their head is already.
It's probably a good thing that we have the #1 on-line Bachelor's degree program. So now you can get a degree with minimal interaction with any of the thin-skinned candy ass ultra liberal free speech as-long-as-you-agree-with-me a..holes that are currently attending and running our formerly great institution of higher learning. Geez, I hope that didn't offend anyone. I know I feel better!
Oh yeah, well now you've hurt my feelings and you'll have to be reported!!!
Like the definition of barren: small, nothing to see here, as teeny weeny, with no fruit, deserted, without courage of conviction, Barron, spineless jelly, a lion without heart.
Wtf
Minor aggression?
Are you friggin kidding me.

It's only natural to feel that way as an older alumnus, but your post speaks volumes as to what's going on there. They have done a truly remarkable job of marginalizing and alienating the alumni base.
Gee, I wonder why Barron the Boob didn't preach his "minor aggression" bull$hit while at F$U where he was busy apologizing and defending the MAJOR AGGRESSIONS of Jameis Winston and his fellow violent convict mates on the football team where there were more arrests for "Violence Against Women" under Barron's tenure than any other FBS Program in the nation! Barron also made a statement on behalf of, and in defense of, Jameis Winston and the F$U Athletic Department who illegally shared confidential investigation information obtained via the F$U campus police - unreal that this raving hypocrite is now going to yammer about a forum who presumes the accused guilty of "micro aggressions" of absurd source.
Its why they have now been forced, after Barron announced only a few months ago, to abandon his big fundraising project in favor of much smaller project specific fundraisers.
The BOT meetings should be good for a few thousand reports to the administration ON THEMSELVES!!
I went to the link and read the comments and this is my favorite.

I think I'll go to State College, PA, stand on street corner, and deliberately say overtly aggressive statements to PSU students. Then when they whine; I'll slap 'em around like the sissy bitches they are. What fun! Who wants to join me?
Does anyone know this a-hole? Anyone do business with this company?

LOL, I'm not there at this point, but I'm thinking that if I decide to commit an aggression, it won't be of the "micro" variety.
And yet - this administration PAID $8.5 million to the biggest microaggressor (and macroaggressor)
