Actually, I could not disagree with you more. The Ivys are ripe for this very attitude and behavior IMO. Look at Harvard with Cornell West and the Larry Summers fiasco. Penn had the infamous “Water Buffalo” incident where a student was expelled after telling some black women to “shut up you water buffaloes!”. He was deemed a racist and expelled. Fortunately, he eventually won on appeal but not without much expense and determination. Yale had to give back a $20 million gift b/c they did not institute the Western Civ program the Bass family had intended the gift to support. Dartmouth is in a huge fight with their alumni b/c they were making decisions that were detrimental to the school (in the alumnae’s opinion). Trustees have been replaced on the board, people are threatening bylaw changes- it’s chaos!
I have read about some super lefties at Princeton but I don't recall their names. Brodhead himself came from Yale. IMO, the Ivory Tower nature of the Ivys makes it easy for these situations to occur.
The Ivys are ripe for this very attitude and behavior IMOI guess I was referring to getting three student athletes framed by a rogue DA while the faculty, local neighbors, mayor's office, police department, and University administration either abetted or said nothing. Duke and Durham have been a tinderbox for a long time and have been written up in various college books even before this incident.(not that this could be predicted, of course)
As nutty as the Ivies are and infiltrated with PC wingnuts as they are, I doubt this would have happened in Princeton , New Jersey or Rhode Island or any of the other places. For crying out loud, you have local Durham cops throwing college kids into the brink with crack heads and rapists just for carrying an open beer can while local thugs with unlicensed guns get only a warning! Only in Durham!
