Oh, I totally agree, and I did! But there is a pretty large level of hypocrisy in stating that they don't want to allow "safe-spaces", while creating their own "safe-spaces" under a different name.
Being an asshole to students, or even sinners, is not Christian as in Christ. The university is operating under false pretenses.
I guess I see what you're trying to do - and I'm not a Christian; but the Christ depicted in the New Testament wasn't shy about calling out inappropriate behavior. He didn't politely ask the money changers to leave the temple, he flipped their tables over.
He fought the sin by removing them from the temple whemnthey were committing bad acts, he didn't flip when they were expressing their feelings.
I question your premise that the author of the article flipped. By your same logic, the pastor was simply expressing his feelings and is thus beyond reproach.
