My own sense is that our feminist political hopes rest with over-sensitive students.

Over-sensitive can be translated as: Sensitive to that which is not over.

All of these ways of making students into the problem work to create a picture of professors or academics as the ones who are “really” oppressed by students. 

[...]

We need to support, stand with, and stand by, those students who are fighting to survive hostile institutions.

It is our job.
