I went there. My sister went there.
The free speech zone exists so that anti-women's-rights protesters can show pictures of fetuses to students.
The safe space area was made when we found out it was physically dangerous for the student communist and anarchist groups to peaceably assemble in the free speech zone.
During my time at UH, the greatest threat to free speech was posed by the conservative student population. I was physically threatened and harmed on many occasions in my 4 years there.
You guys actually formally and physically made 2 separate ideological bubbles?
No, excessive, unpunished bullying forced the University to create areas small enough for them to actually protect their students from said bullies. The Free Speech zone is in the spiritual center of the university, directly in front of the library, and the University lacked the will or ability to protect leftist student groups there.
