Stdent protests roiled college campuses Thursday, when Claremont McKenna College's dean of students resigned under pressure over racial tensions and protesters at more than 100 colleges and universities nationwide demanded the cancellation of student debt.
Dean Mary Spellman at Claremont McKenna stepped down after she sparked a campus protest and hunger strikes by two students this week over her email to a Latina student saying she would work to serve those who "don't fit our CMC mold."
Spellman later apologized but her remarks appeared to be a tipping point for students who have pressed the campus for months for greater diversity among faculty and staff and more funding for multicultural services.
Spellman's resignation came days after student protests over racial discrimination pushed the University of Missouri's president and chancellor to resign. Hundreds of students at Ithaca College in upstate New York have demanded the resignation of the college's president, Tom Rochon over accusations that he has failed to address racial insensitivity. Racial tensions also prompted hundreds of students to demonstrate this week at Yale University.

It just keeps getting worse and worse.
I am at the point of not recognizing any university degree.
That's already happening in big-city public school districts all across the country. It's an active, deliberate purge. So, yep, it makes sense that "progressive" colleges will follow that same pattern.
I’m with you. This is great fun to watch. The academic left is finally imploding.
Kind of like all TV commercials where the "boss" is black and the moron employee is white.
Still waiting to buy ANY consumer product originating from Africa.
White libtard guilt.
or better and better. Depends on your perspective.
Not so much anymore. Most degrees are absolutely worthless in the fields they are given. Most degree holders are now working in positions not in their field of study and most of the time NOT requiring a degree at all. I used to work in the medical field and was VERY selective of whom I hired. Their place of training was EXTREMELY important.
It really HAS come to that!
Great analogy, BTW.
Please explain.
Except, this is going from bad to worse.
Well there is this nice beverage my daughter in law brought back from Uganda. But other than that, no not so much.
Nope
It does. And when the most lucid, intelligent, hard working of our society don’t see it, then we are really in trouble, and we are.
Anyone who is celebrating this crap doesn’t realize what is happening.
Alan Dershowitz was just on Fox, and although he’s an old-time liberal, he is VERY worried about what’s happening on our campuses. He sees a strong whiff of fascism in it.
It’s been happening in every aspect of our society (education, politics, business, entertainment,media, sports, etc.) for the last 50 years at least. This isn’t new! And not just progressive colleges and universities.
Wake up people!
You’re right that it’s an active, deliberate purge.
No they’re not.
They’re getting what they’ve always wanted while some of us are seeing what it is doing to our society, our children.
How is it better?
