> Isn't this just an extreme safe-space for Christianity?

But isn't that expected? OKWU's institution is as an evangelical Christian university - http://www.okwu.edu/about/

If you did not want Christian indoc then why would you go to a christian evangelical school?

There is nothing in Christian Evangelism that inherently implies that University teachers are right about everything and have no need to engage with students' understanding of Christianity.

If you take the article's anecdote at face values, the student wasn't discussing Christian theology; he was scolding the speaker for making him feel bad. The passage in question (1 Cor. 13) is one of the most inoffensive passages in the bible, widely recited at even secular weddings for example.

Distilled down, the school is saying that if a lesson on how we should selflessly love others makes you feel bad about yourself, the lesson you should take away is that you have some improvements to make in yourself -- not that you've been emotionally raped.

Was the OP article written in a tone of "selfless love"?
