...In 2014 from a crime data reported by colleges, states that 91 percent, of 11,000 students, that there was no reports of rape, which is statistically improbable (“Biden to speak”). There are also reasons for the victims to not report the crime such as: unsure if the assault is serious enough, or if anyone would believe them, or fearful of punishment due to drinking, or it would be too emotionally difficult for them to report the crime (Natasha Singer). Victims of sexaul assault are in a state of confusion and denial. If and when a sexaul assault case happens on campus, the campus administrators are involved in the whole process (The Hunting Ground). Why would colleges and universities lie or cover-up sexaul assault cases and stistics? According...

...Sexual assault is something students often hear on college campuses. It is a quiet whisper among college age students. Girls talk about how they are not going to report it to the school because they do not want to have to deal with the process and what people will say about them.

...Raise the Bar In the article, “The Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt state that the use of trigger warnings on college campuses are having unintended consequences. A trigger warning is used by a professor to notify students when they are about to discuss material that has the potential to be upsetting or offensive. Lukianoff and Haidt believe that these trigger warnings have been put in place to appease the student’s demands for a safe space where they can learn. The article opens by stating. “a movement is arising, undirected, and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that may cause discomfort or give offense.” The authors argue that this movement stems from a generation that feels entitled to the right to not be offended. This has led to a social environment where professors and students alike feel fearful to speak their mind freely. The trigger warnings these professors are using exasperate the current atmosphere of extreme political correctness. In the view of Lukianoff and Haidt, these trigger warnings are gasoline on the fire. Their claim is that the warnings lead to unforeseen consequences. The warnings lead to the censorship of controversial or challenging ideas. Due to this fact, this generation of students are graduating college ill prepared for the real world. To even further their claim, Lukianoff and Haidt state that trigger warnings lead to increased anxiety and mental illness...

...that excuses or tolerates sexual violence. This is widely seen on college campuses across the United States of America. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that proscribes discrimination on the substratum of sex, which can includes sexual harassment, rape, and sexual assault in any educational program or activity that receives federal funding (ACLU, 2015). However this public policy is inconsistent in some ways. In order to make it more...

...Term Paper on Hate Speech on College Campuses Introduction As colleges struggle to handle the various differences their students and faculty embody, the problem of “hate speech” has become a focal point of educational erudition and policy-making. In the most deliberate and alarming cases, hate speech is projected to degrade or disgrace those at whom it is directed, usually colored people, gays, lesbians, the physically or mentally challenged, and women, regardless of their sexual orientation, race, religion or ability. Less disturbing examples include insensitive or careless comments, jokes, and other expressions that are painful to those to whom they are directed, regardless of the intent of the person by whom they are spoken or written. The main focus of this essay is to discuss the current dominant structure within which the matter of hate speech is being debated. This structure draws heavily on the discussion of the Fourteenth and the First Amendments, which in my opinion are not adequate to the issue of hate speech. There is a pressing need for extra-legal standards for communicative interaction to handle this sensitive issue. Main Body In our society various laws have been invoked to regulate an increasingly extensive range of social communications. The very language with which we percept and talk about our needs, desires and disagreements is often highly legalistic (Glendon 1991). When reacting to someone else’s hurting experience, one may lament that there should...

...Hate speech is nothing new to American universities. It is defined as language that slanders a particular group based on race, color, gender, nationality, as well as other characteristics. Though colleges try to combat hate speech with speech codes, these codes are never upheld in court, and as a result the victims are left to suffer. Sadly, most victims are minorities who have been historically oppressed, such as African Americans and women. In order to help the minorities targeted by hate speech on college campuses, the sufferers must be empowered to speak out through the creation of a national organization and eventually the Supreme Court must rule that the freedom of speech does not include hate speech. An increase of hate speech on college...
