The way I look at this is...if you are studying (for example) criminal law or something, and you suffer PTSD (most people who yell triggered do not suffer this, they just want attention) as you were raped. And you have to do some work on rape...one, you should really know this would be part of the course. Two, warnings and such are all well and good but lets say you did get a job in the area you are studying. in real life there will be NO trigger warnings given, you really do just have to get on with it, as hard as that will be for someone with PTSD. So surely its better to learn how to deal with it at uni, before actually going into the workplace?

Its not a nice situation. However if you really are that traumatized and such from a topic, then it probably is not the career direction for you?
