| The College Fix investigates: bias response teams In 2019, The College Fix reviewed more than 700 bias complaints from nearly 20 universities across America. The reports were lodged by students and others on campus with bias response teams that have proliferated at colleges and universities across the nation in recent years. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to report alleged bias that they witness or experience to campus authorities, who then offer counseling, investigations, educational interventions — and sometimes even “restorative justice” measures — to resolve the matters. The College Fix obtained the complaints, which date from fall 2018 through fall 2019, through public records act requests, and names had been redacted. But what the reports illustrated is that these bias response teams have become glorified tattle-tale systems in which campus administrators are alerted to the slightest offenses and hurt feelings. Only about 15 percent of the 700 or so bias complaints The College Fix reviewed could be construed as legitimate concerns that should have actually been registered with campus police, such as stalking or threats of violence. But the vast majority of the complaints amounted to students complaining about trivial matters. Individual results from each university can be found here, but what follows is a list of some of the most absurd, puzzling complaints The College Fix has reported on over the last 12 months.

9. Student in library refuses to force a power plug into his dying computer (Utah) In a University of Utah library, a group of four male students were sitting at a table studying. A female student just finishing up a group project noticed the table of male students being “loud and distracting.” At one point, a young man wearing a black shirt and khaki shorts complained that his laptop computer battery was dying. One of the other men at the table offered his charger to the student but said the charger is incompatible with his laptop. The student offering the charger replied it would definitely work if you “just force it.” The student put his hands around his mouth and loudly whispered, “That’s rape. I’m not raping my computer.” The student was then reported by a bystander who overheard the exchange. |
