Description
An account of the resource
When a new sexual harassment policy was published at Middlebury College in 1991, and included harassment based on sexuality, there was a strong response. This response was exacerbated by a reflection on the newly popular concept of "political correctness," which was a topic of intense debate. Student Daniel E. O'Neil wrote an op/ed in The Campus against the censorship that he believes is a product of political correctness (March 14, 1991). Students then wrote op/eds in response to O'Neil and in support of political correctness (March 14 and March 21). Following this, another student, David Upham, wrote in defense of O'Neil and his rights to free speech and religious freedom regarding homosexuals (April 11). At that point, professors and students alike joined in with op/eds on the debate about sexuality, free speech, sexual harassment, and political correctness. (April 18, April 25, May 9). This collection contains a very interesting string of op/eds, numbering 13 total, which provide insight to the past and present of these topics at Middlebury. Each article is labeled with its publication date in the title, so you can view them more easily in chronological order.

This op/ed was published alongside Daniel O'Neil's on March 14, 1991. This article details the points of a lecture on March 7 by Catherine Stimson titled: “On Being Labeled Politically Correct.” Not finding the lecture extremely useful, Bryant heads to the dining hall, and finds better examples of the arguments for and against PC by talking to left wing John Rothstein '93 and right wing Brian Howie '93. In the end, Bryant doesn't take a stance for or against PC, but instead argues for "common courtesy toward individuals." Here is the article from The Campus' archives, as well as photos of the article as it was originally printed.

Description
An account of the resource
This op/ed is a response to the theme of PC in the March 14 1991 edition of The Campus, and more specifically the articles written by Daniel O'Neil, Chad Bryant and Leland Hart. Lang makes it clear that everyone is feeling the "heat" of PC on campus, and describes a recent lecture by Catherine Stimpson that addressed this issue. Lang contradicts Bryant, who found no value in the lectures and debates on campus. Lang agrees with O'Neil that we need a diversity of opinion, but only while bearing in mind the interests of others. Lang also opposes O'Neil's favoritism of white men and states that while fraternity members can be considerate people, that fraternities "are sexist and elitist institutions" in principle. Finally, Lang discourages Hart's sarcasm and puerility and states that everyone must be willing to compromise and be aware of the rights and needs of every person on campus to relieve the current tension. Here is the article from The Campus' archives, as well as photos of the article as it was originally printed.
