And in the past few weeks, more examples are pouring in:

- A University of Michigan student group is demanding that the university, "create a permanent designated space on central campus for Black students and students of color to organize, and do social justice work." White people would not be allowed.

- "Bias Response Teams" at hundreds of campuses across the country encourage students to turn in fellow students for offensive speech.

- The student government at the University of Wisconsin-Madison said that black students should be offered free tuition and housing because blacks were legally barred from education during slavery and the university remains out of reach for black students today. They passed legislation that calls for reparations to black students because of "systemic denial" of minorities from the "white supremacist" institution. It also demands the creation of a task force to consider "test-optional admissions and geographically weighted admissions" that would give preference to students in cities.

- Penn State professors have been told to "avoid assuming the gender of any student," and to not "assume all students speak English fluently".

- Emory University is looking to establish people "of color" only social events.

- Students at UC Berkeley built a human wall to prevent white students from entering campus.

- Students at Elizabethtown College this month are wearing white pins to remind them of white privilege.
