The Director of LGBTQI Life at Vanderbilt University says college administrators should directly encourage student protests, even those that involve disrupting university functions.
Categorizing protests as either "burner" or "builder" activism, Chris Purcell argues that "burner" protests are sometimes needed "to get the job done," after which administrators can "pursue building strategies."
The Director of LGBTQI Life at Vanderbilt University recently argued that student protesters should be celebrated, even if they stage sit-ins or disrupt university functions.
In an essay for Inside Higher Ed last week, Chris Purcell argues that college administrators should celebrate, reward, and support all student activists, asserting that no matter the issue or side of the political or philosophical spectrum, it is the commonly understood role of administrators to work with students to support activism.

OK - anybody know what the "I" stands for in LGBTQI? The lunacy is just happening too fast too keep up with these days.

Intersex. I guess “bisexual” isn’t enough. Don’t want to leave out the possibility of animals, maybe.

Any parent, who pays for this abuse of their children by sending them to colleges/universities like this!
Are as guilty as the libs controlling the college and as worthless.

I'd bet that a conservative disruption would be treated as Homophobic Terrorism.

I dunno, but I’ve learned two new “words” in the last couple of days: ‘Latinx’, and ‘misogynoir’.

I wonder how a “pray-in” in the administration building would be welcomed.

Rolling a severed pig’s head into the Islamic student union would be disruptive.
Celebrate!
