Are Students Snowflakes? On Thursday's Access Utah

Allnewspipeline.com

Recently, USU philosophy professors Erica Holberg, Charlie Huenemann, and Harrison Kleiner  participated in a panel discussion with the provocative title: “Are Students Snowflakes?” Next time on Access Utah they’ll join Tom Williams to explore the tension between the value we place on free speech on college campuses and how that value can sometimes collide with the desires of students and others to not be exposed to ideas they find offensive.This discussion has obvious parallels to ongoing issues in broader society.
