A university that encourages moral dependence is a university that is likely to experience chronic conflict, which may then lead to more demands for administrative remedies and protections, which may then lead to more moral dependence.
This also seems to be true of any institution - a thick skin and the ability to self-mediate is key to having fewer situations that demand them. I wonder too does social media fuel this phenomenon - people responding to trolls and abusers with demands for reprimand, rather that a block or mute?
