The article focuses on the problematic nature of "bias-response teams" (BRTs) on college campuses, encourages anonymous reporting but are criticized for potential abuses and chilling effects on free speech. Topics include the rise of these teams over the last decade; their intended purpose of supporting students who experience discomfort over identity-related incidents; and concerns surrounding their effectiveness in promoting inclusivity while potentially suppressing open dialogue.
