Nothing lasts forever. Most counties throughout time tend to last about 200 years. France for example, has been five different versions of France over the last 700 years.
So I went to the source (the article on The Crimson) and it seems to me that she is using political correctness to shut down the discussion of ideas and institutionalizing "liberal fascism" to prevent further challenges to ideas that are deemed "offensive". In today's world we see that simple objectivity can be deemed offensive so critical though and the Socratic method can not exist. It is the thought police regulation the realm of ideas. Higher learning indeed.
Unfortunately, it seems more and more we have to regulate our thoughts and feelings, because others are unable to control their emotions. So it seems we must be politically correct so as not to offend. It appears we have to cater to to weak and regulate ourselves so as not to offend anyone.
The only problem is now I feel offended. Someone please take away my freedom of speech.

A self respecting university should fire any employee who proposes such a blatant assault on intellectual integrity.

It would be a small step for some universities to adopt her philosophy. Most are little more than indoctrination camps now.
