The story is absolutely true.  I follow this on Twitter and even had a couple of exchanges with students. You would've thought that Trump personally came to the campus, threw him down and raped him.   seriously, that's what he was acting like.  Very similar things have happened on my daughter's campus, University of Kansas. Luckily, she's an engineering student so her and all her friends pay no attention to the lunatics. The protests ( and at University Missouri as well ) are all organized and attended by political science, psychology, women's study, etc. majors. You know, kids going to school  Who won't be able to get a job and who you and I will end up paying for.

The degree to which major college campuses will go in order to coddle these children is mind-boggling. I really have no idea how they are going to survive in the real world. KU is in the middle of Kansas and still very conservative but still it's infiltrated by enough liberal, commie, wussies to make you wanna throw up. The bad part is these little pu$$ies will be running the world one day soon.

Old.Indian's experience back then was the opening battle in a longer war. It's not our world anymore ,  adults no longer run it. Quite literally, the inmates are running the asylum.

The only Silverlining behind this is a little bit of pushback by the remaining adults in the world. The University Missouri for example is not rebuilding two dormitories that needed to be torn down and newer ones put in their place. They're not doing it because their enrollment is down by over 1000. After witnessing the ridiculous mess that went on last summer, what sane adult would send their child there much less hand over tens of thousands of dollars to have their brains polluted?

When the economy is in an inflationary swing, enrollment falls, when in a recessionary swing, enrollment increases. I would like to see their CAFR's, bet they got 100's of millions is "discretionary" funds sitting "idle" earning interests/returns.  

You need a degree in something that someone NEEDS,  mechanical engineering, chemistry, Real Stuff, not imagined crises of codepency.

100% correct. my daughter graduates Mechanical Engineering next month and she already has a well paying job lines up so she'll be able to pay for her own place, a car and all school loans.

Basket weaving, political science and women's studies don't pay as well....

totally valid point Rat. I hope to hell you are wrong, but I think a certain percentage of the crybaby elites in college today probably fit your description.  how big of a percentage? I'm not sure.

The only good thing about this generation is the intimidation factor.
These babies never had anyone threaten to swing on them.

Justin,

I'm "older" with a LOT of critical thinking skills. It's not speculation, the numbers are available through the colleges (fyi - State & Ivy leagues keep records for potential benefactors).

As for the athletic scholarships, don't get me started on that free ride. I've taken business, finance and accounting classes where the professors stated at the start of the semester that ALL athletes would essentially get a "free-ride" in their courses, no matter the course difficulty, citing their "special situation and needs" specific to the schools athletic program. What a crock of s#it.  

I'm in an advanced finance course right now, which the professor is only passing those in the athletics program (huge sports fan) and those who have stated they're major is accounting or finance. All others are FAILING, and he's point-blank stated it will take those failing students 3-4 times to pass his course. WTF?

The "free rides" exist in every college and university (with the possible exceptions of MIT, CIT, med schools, etc.)  Anyone who thinks that family name, social or financial position doesn't matter is unaware of reality.
