More academic rot promulgated not by professors, but by university administrators. The document is posted by said institution’s Provost’s Office.

Just remember this when you praise Scott Walker for wanting to take power from the faculty and give it to the professional university administrators: the worst rot in academe outside of programs with names of the form [Affirmative-action-beneficiary-group] Studies is promulgated by university administrators, not professors. Giving them more power is not a good idea.

Is saying "Not everyone can succeed" also racist?

Yes. Anything a white person says is racist in academe because the Newspeak word "racist" can, when needed, mean "white person". (It can also mean the same thing as the English word "racist", or be equivalent to the English phrase "critic of a leftwing program deemed by the left to be beneficial to racial minorities", as needed, and, like all Newspeak words and phrases can change meaning after it's been uttered or written as necessary to promote the expansion of state power under the control of leftists.)

Flying the American Flag is a macro-agression to these people.

Rename the list “Items to Know That you are Talking to a PC Idiot”.

Ignore these people.

I think I will still get by with saying, “Get your fat ass off the couch, put down the bag of Cheetos, turn off the TV, study for the exam, and maybe you will pass this class. Otherwise, I hear McDonald’s is needing help.”

You have to admit that the fascist Left is very creative when it comes to manipulating the language. Microaggression indeed.

The professors are not innocent.

No, but most of the really egregious rot like "sex positive" orientation activities and seminars on "microaggressions" come from folks with titles like Vice Provost for Diversity or Dean of Student Life. Shifting power from the faculty to professional academic administrators will not improve American universities.
