Well according to that Vox article about that liberal prof who got censored (and links therein) linked by the parent comment, the following things:

1. works of Edward Said

2. works of Mark Twain

3. works of Upton Sinclar

4. works of Maureen Tkacik

5. Ovid's Metamorphoses

6. The movie Avengers

7. Debates about abortion

8. Some "Afrobeat" band that had too many white people in it

9. Some male professor who was "creepy" at a conference

10. Asking harassment victims for proof

And if I recall correctly from pop culture several months back:

11. The comedic act of Jerry Seinfeld

12. The comedic act of Chris Rock

I'm pretty sure Chris Rock self-censored and doesn't play colleges anymore. But, he still plays other venues.
Yes, he said (paraphrasing) that college kids don't have a sense of humor anymore, they just get outraged at everything.
