  • Within
  • these
  • halls
  • of
  • learning,
  • one
  • must
  • proceed
  • with
  • caution.Happily
  • ensconced
  • as
  • a
  • tenured
  • Professor
  • of
  • Biology
  • at
  • the
  • small
  • Skowhegan
  • College
  • in
  • the
  • wilds
  • of
  • Maine,
  • Tymoteusz
  • Tarnaszewski—who
  • goes
  • by
  • the
  • moniker
  • "T"—suddenly
  • finds
  • himself
  • in
  • unknown
  • territory
  • when
  • an
  • incident
  • in
  • a
  • colleague's
  • classroom
  • motivates
  • the
  • college
  • administration
  • to
  • issue
  • a
  • blanket
  • policy
  • requiring
  • the
  • installation
  • of
  • "trigger
  • warnings"
  • in
  • all
  • syllabi.T,
  • believing
  • that
  • this
  • would
  • constrain
  • his
  • teaching,
  • refuses
  • to
  • comply,
  • even
  • after
  • one
  • of
  • his
  • own
  • students
  • lodges
  • a
  • complaint
  • about
  • something
  • T
  • said
  • during
  • the
  • course
  • of
  • a
  • genetics
  • lecture.
  • The
  • administration's
  • judgment
  • is
  • swift:
  • T
  • will
  • be
  • terminated
  • at
  • semester's
  • end
  • for
  • insubordination.What
  • recourse,
  • if
  • any,
  • does
  • T
  • have
  • to
  • save
  • his
  • position?
  • And
  • what
  • will
  • he
  • do
  • when
  • he
  • learns
  • the
  • higher-ups
  • knew,
  • early
  • on,
  • that
  • the
  • student
  • who
  • lodged
  • the
  • complaint
  • against
  • him
  • is
  • actually
  • a
  • threat
  • to
  • the school?
