Institute of Higher Indoctrination.
Ideological crap holes where political illnesses are manured into full blown Government sanctioned and protected Civil Rights Crimes.
Can't buy a work license as a PsyD or PhD without spending a bundle and regurgitating the reigning paradigm at one of them.

Chicken-sh*t college students not brave enough to stand up to a chicken sandwich.
Via Campus Reform:
Student senators at Duquesne University are lobbying for
the cancellation of plans to bring Chick-fil-A to campus in the fall,
saying they “fear” for the safety of their peers.
ColleThe popular fast-food chain came under fire in 2012 after its
president, Dan Cathy, admitted his company was “guilty as charged” for
donating to organizations opposed to same-sex marriage, prompting years
of protests by LGBT activists, especially on college campuses.
Campus Reform reported in 2015, for instance, that the Student
Government Association at Johns Hopkins University demanded the removal
of Chick-fil-A from campus, calling its presence a “microaggression,”
though outrage slowly died down as IRS filings showed the company had
virtually cancelled its donations to organizations opposing same-sex
marriage.
Now, however, Duquesne University Student Senator Niko Martini has
reignited concerns over the company’s past by proposing a resolution at
the Student Government Association’s (SGA) March 26 meeting to nix the
restaurant from a list of proposed overhauls to the school’s dining
options.
“Chick-fil-A has a questionable history on civil rights and human
rights,” Martini remarked in a statement to The Duquesne Duke. “I think
it’s imperative [that] the university chooses to do business with
organizations that coincide with the [university’s] mission and
expectations they give students regarding diversity and inclusion.”
While Martini’s initial resolution ultimately failed, the SGA did
agree to consider an alternate resolution that would allow for a vetting
process of the on-campus Chick-fil-A, according to The Duke.

Thank You Campus Reform and Huck Funn.
Fine.
Another money saving option.
If the University bans Chick-fil-A for this reason, pull any and all Government Funding from them.
Government is prohibited by the 1st Amendment from taking any official notice of Religious Beliefs, one way or the other.

Rutgers is going full micro. The administration now warns against “microassaults”, “micorinsults” and “microinvalidations”. Students at Rutgers just need to shut-up so as not to offend anyone.
Via Campus Reform:
Students in at least one Rutgers University residence hall are being encouraged to use only language that is “helpful” and “necessary” to avoid committing microaggressions.
The display, photos of which were obtained by Campus Reform, is titled “Language Matters: Think,” and was placed in the College Avenue Apartments by a resident assistant, according to a current resident of the building who does not wish to be identified.
Erected as part of the university’s “Language Matters” campaign, the bulletin board instructs students to ask themselves whether their choice of words is “true,” “helpful,” “inspiring,” “necessary,” and “kind” before speaking out, and also includes a list of potentially-offensive terms, such as “retarded” and “illegal aliens.”
Also included on the bulletin board is a flyer from the “Language Matters” campaign, an initiative launched by the Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities some time during the 2015 fall semester.
The flyer, which was adapted from the University of Maryland’s “Inclusive Language Campaign,” lists various terms that some people might find offensive, presenting scenarios such as saying “he looks like a terrorist” to someone who is “a United States veteran;” using the phrase “that’s so ghetto” around someone who “grew up in poverty;” and commenting that an “exam just raped me” in the presence of “a survivor of sexual assault.”
The “Language Matters” website includes a presentation similar in nature to the flyer, outlining the “big impact” of “little things” and providing examples of the three types of microaggressions.
A microassault may include “avoiding someone,” for instance, while an example of a microinsult is telling someone they are strong for a girl. A microinvalidation, meanwhile, could involve asking an Asian or Latino person where they are from.
Simply avoiding offensive language, however, is not enough according to Rutgers, which claims that microaggressions can also be “nonverbal” and “environmental,” but fails to elaborate further.
