@phoenix1616 perhaps the student body has changed beginning with the class of 2021.They were the class considering where to apply when the letter came out.
Discussions of Wollstonecraft can easily venture into that area, although with the qualifier of “graphic” it might not be so much an issue. Students have become more sensitive to the subject so it’s not clear what exactly might trigger someone (as the New Yorker points out), Nonetheless, most profs are going to know when to give a warning and when it’s probably not necessary and their discretion can be trusted. Heck, my driver-ed teacher from 40 years ago (the dear man just passed away this week) used to give us a trigger warning whenever the required movie of auto deaths got too gory. He’d even put waste baskets around the classroom to accommodate anyone who needed to hurl - I think that was in jest, but only partly so. It was just plain common sense and courtesy to his students to give us a heads up.
