These universities have failed to teach their students that ‘list of demands’ are not how the natural world works and is certainly not how the globalist world works. It is, however, very third world kidnapper-ish.
Not to mention the cost burden of insane ‘demands’ will be born not by the current students but by subsequent students in the form of ‘fees’ which can amount to a substantial portion of ‘total tuition’.
