I heard a very sad story about a girl that went to Bryn Mawr. She squealed on her roommate... and they found her strangled with her own brassiere!

...Far from facing consequences for ruining the fall, 2020 semester, strikers have been lavishly praised by the school’s president and continually assured that their grades won’t be impacted. Some professors have even agreed to accept what they call “strike work”—conversations with friends and family about racism, diary entries, time spent watching anti-racism documentaries, and so forth—in lieu of actual course work, even in math and science programs. Additionally, the college has instituted a credit/no-credit policy that will allow all students to choose up to four courses this year that won’t factor into their GPA.
As for the majority of students who came to Bryn Mawr to actually receive an education that goes beyond anti-racist bromides, they’re out of luck. The same goes for parents who ante up $54,000 a year for tuition (and another $20,000 for room and board). Kim Cassidy now presides over what is essentially the world’s most expensive anti-racism YouTube training program....this also happens to be a massive rip-off for families, many of whom are spending their life savings so that a child can attend this once-esteemed institution.
What these students have learned—at a Quaker-founded institution no less—is that might makes right, that discussion and debate are for racists, and that the middle-aged elites who run society’s most prestigious institutions will sell them out for their own public-relations convenience, all the while publicly thanking the social-justice shakedown artists who engineered their own humiliation, thus incentivizing more tantrums in the future.
“We’re all gonna be here for only four, maybe five years, so nobody really gives a damn about Bryn Mawr in the long run,” said one anonymous strike leader at a November 9th sit-in event. It’s an appalling sentiment. But unlike President Kim Cassidy’s groveling communiqués, it at least has the benefit of being honest.

Bryn Mawr seems to have a serious shortage of common sense and vowels.
Another idiot spot on the map of life with no lasting impact on students or society.
Bryn Mayr, which roughly translates out to “ooglie google”, is a fine producer of ice cream.
A few years ago there was a big uproar on the left, criticizing “for profit” schools - whether on-line or with actual campuses - for making profits without offering a real, “marketable” education. But isn’t that what many of our “real” colleges and universities have become for hundreds of thousands of students, i.e., cash cows that demand exorbitant tuition for course content that is often complete rubbish?
One more college whose graduates I will not consider for employment.
Wonderfully pathetic.
Remember Doonesbury? That was the "hip" strip from the 1970s by some guy named Garry Trudeau. They ended up doing a movie from it called "The Big Chill".

Brings back memories of Al Capp’s Lil Abner comic strip series when the S.W.I.N.E. (Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything) took over the college campus.
The College administrators got cold feet and sold the college to the Mafia.
I still get a thrill remembering the sparks that flew when the long haired Hippie SWINE assaulted the mafia enforcer’s brass knuckles with their teeth.

Bryn Mawr is the old Jewish money area.
I believe Katharine Hepburn is an alumnus.
“Professors”, “College/Universities”....nough said.
Like everything else libs touch....destroyed.
Sounds like it would make a good lampoon-type movie.
I’ve just finished reading Whittaker Chamber’s “Witness.” It is interesting that nearly every American female official and underground, i.e. secret, communist he mentions graduated from Bryn Mawr between 1910 and 1930. And many of the men were Harvard and/or Columbia University graduates.
I found it revealing, especially in today’s federal government swamp that is infested with leftists from the Clinton and Obama administrations, that the FDR and Truman administrations were reluctant to investigate, prosecute, and/or expel identified communists and their fellow travelers from U.S. government employment.
It is worth reading as a reminder of what we will be facing under a possible Biden/Harris/Obama administration
LOL. May as well blow your brains out. It’ll be quicker than the mass starvation after “stem” is “decolonized”.
That is politically incorrect. Shouldn't it be a small persons with vaginas liberal arts college?
Why anyone would spend tens of thousands of dollars to send their daughters to a liberal lesbian indoctrination center is a mystery to me.
