Jun 17, 2023 at 19:42 comment added Laurel What exactly is the claim here? Is this suggesting that there's some sort of "trigger word" rulebook that all US colleges are following? Or is it more along the lines of suggesting that two or three of the 1.5 million faculty in the US did something like this independently? Or that some students (from an even larger population) are triggered by the word?
Jun 17, 2023 at 19:13 comment added GEdgar What I have seen reported, more than once: some academic unit promulgates a list of "triggers" or "words to avoid", but then (after ridicule) withdraws it.
Jun 17, 2023 at 19:10 comment added WoJ @GEdgar thanks for the comment - even one documented case would be fine (this particular word seems so generic that I cannot belive this could be true, actually)
Jun 17, 2023 at 19:06 comment added GEdgar Not all US universities recognize the notion of "trigger warnings", and the ones that do may not have the same list of trigger warnings. Perhaps Le Figaro was reporting about one particular incident.
