A space that embraces individual difference, sustains inclusion, and cultivates a campus that is free from bias. A safe space is an avenue in which faculty, staff, and students can help achieve these goals. A safe space serves students through advocacy, community building, and education.

Recent protesters like SHOCC have demanded the creation of safe spaces.

Some say these spaces are the result of "uncritical thinking". They say that the concept of "safe spaces" is absurd because their creation automatically implies that everywhere else is unsafe.
