LOS ANGELES – The University of California wants to know when a student or staff member utters a bias word, or makes “disparaging comments” or “unwanted jokes” toward another.

The university system’s “intolerance report form” asks the roughly 428,000 students and faculty to report any “expressions of bias,” “hate speech,” “bullying,” “intimidation” or “bias incidents,” The College Fix reports.

The online form on the UC webpage also encourages folks to report any “hostile climate” on campus, which it describes as “a focus on the race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender or sexual orientation of another person or group with is sever or pervasive enough to affect campus or academic life.

“Examples include unwanted jokes or teasing, derogatory or disparaging comments, posters, cartoons, drawings, or pictures of a bias nature,” according to the form.

The College Fix reports that bias seems to be a hot topic for UC system president Janet Napolitano, who has advised faculty on what they can and cannot say during a series of training sessions shortly after she took over in 2013.

“‘America is the land of opportunity,’ ‘There is only one race, the human race’ and ‘I believe the most qualified person should get the job’ were among a long list of alleged offensive microaggressions faculty leaders were advised not to say at the seminars,” according to the site.

The intolerance report form is also tied to efforts this fall to restrict student speech through a “statement of principles against intolerance” that many experts told The Huffington Post likely violate the First Amendment.

“Intolerance has no place at the University of California. We define intolerance as unwelcome conduct motivated by discrimination against, or hatred toward, other individuals or groups. It may take the form of acts of violence or intimidation, threats, harassment, hate speech, derogatory language reflecting stereotypes or prejudice, or inflammatory or derogatory use of culturally recognized symbols of hate, prejudice, or discrimination.”

Charles C. Haynes, vice president of the Newseum Institute and Religious Freedom Center, told the Post the University’s approach to intolerance makes no sense.

“My question back to them is how can a university uphold free speech by banning free speech?” he questioned. “How is that possible to do?”

National Coalition Against Censorship executive director Joan Bertin seems to agree with Haynes, and pointed out that as a publicly funded university, UC must follow the Constitution.

“You can’t be held legally responsible for thinking something or saying something that other people don’t like,” Bertin said. “That’s thought control.”

“The university is not a marketplace of ideas for ideas that people don’t find offensive or intolerant,” Hayes said. “Is it painful? Is it messy? Yes, but that’s the United States at our best.

“You’d think the last place in the United States where we would try to chill speech would be where we educate people to be part of the democratic process and prepare them to be citizens,” he said.
