The Last Straw. Cancelling My Alumni Magazine (eye bleach required)
MIT Technology Review/MIT News ^ | Sept, 2018 | Yuliye Klochan

Posted on 09/19/2018 5:36:24 AM PDT by CA_soon_gone

It’s a Wednesday evening in February, and time for the weekly meeting of Pleasure@MIT, an acronym for “peers leading education about sexuality and speaking up for relationship empowerment.” The Pleducators are a wonderful group of people committed to changing the culture at MIT to reduce sexual misconduct by encouraging healthy communication and relationships.

Serving as a Pleducator and being part of the VagMo cast have made me believe that change is possible, and that I can be a part of it. And I know now that I can always go back to the learning zone. After all, if I could join two completely unexpected and totally awkward groups, what can’t I do?

Institutes of higher learning need to get back into the business of higher learning.

The silver lining is that MIT is on the bleeding edge of AI robot development.

Having an SJW in admissions will give us a few more years before Skynet is turned on.

The author writes she works in admissions.

The author is an MIT humanities major and a blogger for admissions (don't ask me why either one is worth having at MIT!), not an actual admissions officer. I know all of their admissions officers, and none of them are obviously freaks or agenda-driven leftists.

That’s about as close to “Laz’d hit it” as can be.

While an undergrad at *another* Boston college we were offered a few free courses at MIT; I took a math course. About killed me; but the power of prayer helped me pass.

I can’t imagine how rigorous the rest of the curriculum was.

One great thing, MIT offered lectures and invited other schools to attend. I recall the electrifying debates that Billy Graham had with Berkeley activist Mario Salvio. Rev. Graham chewed him up and spit him out; Salvio didn’t know what hit him. Heh.

I must credit Rev. Graham [from those debates]with being the tipping point in my life to ever embracing a liberal philosophy. God Bless his soul.

I think it’s too late for them to pull up.

Rice is offering free admission to middle class undergrads.

Nobody is applying, and everybody is saying ‘FU’ to the business model.

“Let’s see, I go $250K in debt and still can’t show an employer I have an actual skill. I could go down to the local IBEW, sign up for their internship program, make $20 to go to school for 6 weeks, and then spend the rest of the year actually working in a skilled trade. In year 2 I make $25 an hour, and at the end I have to work for a union shop for two years, where I’ll make $65K per year and up. - no debt, and no political re-education.

Well, that’s a tough call . . . “

Yes. We were proud we weren’t like Harvard. So dumb to move in this direction.

I would never lead Freepers astray. The warning was clear, but you looked.
