I thought ChatGPT did a very good job.
Thanks for posting.
I can’t wrap my head around this sort of failed leadership.
These universities have billions in their endowments. Students across the country dream of going to an Ivy League School. Families are willing to shoulder enormous debts in order to pay $90,000 a year in tuition.
And the college presidents are afraid? They fear the students that have been accepted by the school and who have been attending class in hopes of getting a prestigious degree?
How about this — If you demonstrate, we kick you out. You fail all current classes. You get no degree. No money will be refunded. We can find more students to take your place.
Put the fear on the students.
I had to do that a couple of days ago. ChatGPT did a pretty good job on the transcript.
That's not what the article says. The article says that they fear the people with actual brains who are waking up to the fact that these colleges are little more than a con game.
Whan you have state funding of just about anything the state becomes the client. So it is quite natural this organization becomes chuck full of statists . Hard core Leftists.
Seperation of School and State is an idea whose time has come.
Well, yes. But the schools are, in part, a con game because they insist on kow-towing to students who demand anti-education policies. Hate speech rules, DEI, pro-Hamas, etc. The students clamor for that crap, the univerities submit, and the thing becomes a worthless effort — a con game. It doesn’t have to be a joke. But it is.
People who think young people are cool are the issue. Young people are idiots.
“I can’t wrap my head around this sort of failed leadership.”
It’s not a failure. This was quite intentional. Lower the standards, quit teaching kids how to think but rather what to think, and you turn “higher education” into a propaganda center turning out hundreds of thousands of angry embittered leftist drones.
That’s always been the goal. It’s textbook Mao. “Long march through the institutions”. And they’ve succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

Then the Marxists opened the floodgates to the Islamists given that, for some strange reason, they are brothers-in-arms.
Commies at work.. Joe McCarthy was righter than he could ever possible imagine..
How about this — If you demonstrate, we kick you out. You fail all current classes. You get no degree.
Long ago when I went to college, 67 grad, my school had a policy:
Fall below a 2 GPA semester, probation. Two semesters in a row, gone. Any F regardless of GPA, probation also.
Strict attendance standards, Up to six absences per course per semester.
Jacket and tie required (until 1965 when that was relaxed as admitted women then).
ROTC required for two semesters.
School had a very small endowment, but tuition was minimal...18 per credit hour in 63 and 33 in 67. Costs low since Profs taught the courses and most had a side hustle.
What is he saying here?
“If I get straight As at a rural 500-person high school and someone in Palo Alto with 3,000 people gets an A, it’s the same.”
“there are almost no examples of Islamophobia”
There would be many if college students had to study the Koran and Islamic history.
“November 17, 1964
“Columbia’s latest hike means that the school’s tuition has gone up nearly 73 per cent since 1959. Tuition was $1450 in 1960-61 and $1575 in 1962-63; it is $1700 this year.
“The tuition in Columbia’s graduate schools will also go up next fall. In the school of journalism, the jump is from $1650 to $1850; in the school of medicine, it is from $1700 to $1900; and in the school of law, from $1500 to $1700.”
“Current tuition rates at the other Ivy League colleges are: Brown, $1600; Cornell $1700; Pennsylvania, $1750; Princeton, $1770; and Yale and Dartmouth, $1800.”
