A New Faculty Challenge: Fending Off Abuse on Yik Yak

The three Eastern Michigan University professors had no idea that they were under attack by the Honors College students seated before them. The three women knew that many of the nearly 230 freshmen in the auditorium resented having to show up at 9 a.m. every Friday for a mandatory interdisciplinary-studies class. But whatever unhappy students previously had said directly to them seemed mild in comparison to the verbal abuse being hurled at them silently as they taught one Friday morning last fall.
