Complaints are continuing to pile up after the University of Northern Colorado created a Bias Response Team to deal with behavior deemed to be offensive.

The Greeley Tribunereports a review of allegations that sparked complaints range from in-class assignments to students' strongly stated political opinions.

The complaints even included cooking competitions that caused problems for students with eating disorders.
