You fell for the columnist's outrage ploy. I teach university students every day, have since 1992, and very few evince fragility or entitlement. In fact, most blame themselves first for any hardships they face. The columnist trades in generalizations and exaggeration as usual.  The accommodations she lists are for a very small segment of struggling students who deserve a little extra help. It's called kindness. What horror! And btw, at university? We don't teach fledgling journalists to generalize from a small number of examples to create outrage to garner click bait. Our columnist is self-taught on that front and apparently plays to some who can't get enough of it.
