  • Universities have applied trigger warnings to more than 1,000 texts and started removing others from reading lists to protect students from ‘challenging’ content.

    An investigation has revealed ten institutions – including three from the elite Russell Group – have either withdrawn books or made them optional in case they harm undergraduates.

    Affected texts include 2017 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead, and August Strindberg’s classic play Miss Julie.
