A method of communication with the potential to offend and/or harass has been successfully stricken from dorm hallways at Michigan State University:
MSU bans whiteboards to prevent offensive messages https://t.co/VnU9qWnnUd pic.twitter.com/gO6Ceo2Qh7

For now, the “all clear” has been sounded in campus safe spaces:
"MSU Police have informed us that ALL dormitory white boards will be removed asap. Victory!!!" https://t.co/cZW6Em6LJK

The move that has whiteboard ban proponents declaring “victory” was reportedly made after an incident involving an offensive word written on a board outside a dorm room. As a result, all whiteboards are now banned.
@campusreform How ironic that free speech is dying where it should be most free, on college campuses.

@campusreform obviously the people who still used whiteboards didn't feel social media had replaced them. What a bizzare edict.
