I don't quite see why the Universities feel compelled to change curriculum just because of some people's hurt feelings. If a word or subject matter reminds someone of a shitty experience, too bad. This is the real world, things happen, get used to it and be happy you're now in a University and a place where it can be discussed.
What the Universities are scared of isn't quite clear. In what form would the backlash come: less alumni donations, fewer students applying, or litigation?
I think the schools shouldn't be such pussies and should go on teaching whatever they want, using real words they want, and that students should learn to handle it.
If you're a student in law school and the professors can't use the word "rape" or "violates" because they makes you butt-hurt, then maybe you should reconsider your current career plan, don't you think?

- don't public schools already teach these sensitivities and are extremely politically correct?yurimon
- I think the schools could easily defend themselves against a lawsuit. They're pretty well-equipped to show they aren't in the wrong. That's my opinion though.monospaced
- "The teacher used the word 'rape' in a law class about a rape case, and I think that's wrong." Judge: STFU, really? Dismissed.monospaced
- Higher education is exactly the place where you should have uncensored education. WIthout it you can't even talk about history or current events accurately.monospaced
