Described is a program entitled "Creating a Safe Space," designed to remove consciously the major elements which contribute to college students' experiences and feelings that they are victims of extended controls. The course is described as: (1) an experience of both the removal of extended controls and evaluations and the addition of a new instructional system; (2) an instructional system whose core is a list of agreements students publicly commit themselves to before entering the program; and (3) a program whose philosophy incorporates some of the principles of Erhard Seminars Training (EST).
