Should universities provide “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces” for students?
No, college is meant to challenge students thoughts and opinions so they are prepared for real life
Safe spaces provide places where a collection of diverse people can go to get help, ask questions, or just simply feel comfortable. Just because someone might not have similar problems, a similar background, personality and or aren't as "tough" as another person, doesn't mean they should just get thrown out into the world without help. Everyone functions differently and safe spaces provide an environment where people can share their opinions without being bashed and therefore become exposed/educated on others opinions because they can share them around. In reality, safe spaces prepare people for real life since they build up others opinions/integrity as well as "toughness" but also empathy.

It is not the college's responsibility to make the students feel comfortable, it is the student's responsibility to toughen up and be able to push through sensitive topics.
