HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: University introduces website to report microaggressions.

The University of Michigan-Flint has launched a website where “students who experience any form of bias or micro-aggressions whatsoever” can tattle on members of their community.

In a campus-wide email sent Tuesday afternoon (and shared with the Washington Examiner), UM-Flint staff announced the new website and encouraged students, faculty and staff to begin reporting. They can even do so anonymously.

“At UM-Flint, we have a strong commitment to diversity and equity, and we strive to ensure that every student is able to participate and thrive in a culture of inclusion,” the email said. “Reporting bias against students is important because it allows us to keep track of how individual students and groups are experiencing our campus community, and better positions us to provide closely informed responses that will ensure an optimal living and learning environment for everyone.”

The entire community was called upon to report incidents of bias they witness, even if they weren’t the recipient of the alleged bias. Adding in that reports can be done anonymously, UM-Flint could predictably become a hotbed of politically and personally motivated revenge reports.

I encourage students to report every slight, however minor, aimed at white people, Republicans, and males.

UPDATE: From the comments: “Can’t we put Trump’s fans on the case? I am sure he is getting lots of disrespect on campus, and his fans surely have the energy to swamp the system.” Yeah, if someone insults your preferred candidate, that’s certainly a marginalizing microaggression.
