YGBFKM, Northwestern

“Northwestern prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ethnicity, caste, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, parental status, marital status, age, disability, citizenship status, veteran status, genetic information, reproductive health decision making, height, weight, or any other classification protected by law,” the policy reads.

Making a joke about a person’s weight counts as “harassing conduct that may create a hostile environment,” according to Northwestern. “Displays or electronic transmission of derogatory, demeaning, or hostile materials related to one or more actual or perceived protected characteristics” also violate the school’s stipulations. 

Disciplinary measures could potentially include verbal or written warnings from the school, forced counseling, “[r]equired training,” being put on probation, and suspension or expulsion from the school, among other measures. Professors could also have their tenure status taken away.

Or not kidding me, I guess, to be more accurate. No one gets to have a sense of humor at Northwestern from now on. And WTF is a "caste" in American society? Students can't poke fun at the wealthy elites? Man, that'll take the 'party' out of the Communist Party, eh?
