Trinity University has joined the national debate on safe space in educational settings, which has been a contested topic recently in higher education and beyond.
On March 29, the Collaborative on Learning and Teaching hosted a closed discussion for 19 students, faculty, and staff members to discuss trigger warnings and safe spaces.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss some guidelines for creating a safe environment in classrooms. The main points of the guideline include creating a conducive interactive environment, expecting participants to be active listeners, respectful of other people’s opinions, and “accept other people’s experiences as the truth.”
