Maybe. I was pretty liberal when I arrived at the U of Iowa, often referred to as the Berkeley of the Midwest. By the time I bailed out of the writer’s workshop three years later, I cut my hair, got a job, and scraped the bumper stickers off my car.Originally Posted by ralph

Nice job. I wish my children had excelled well enough to go to Hillsdale. However, they are doing fine. One graduated from a small college yesterday. I sat through a four hour graduation ceremony where the entire thing was interpreted into Spanish, so it took twice as long. Two of the speeches were about the advancements of LBGT rights. One speech apologizing for taking Native American lands for the grounds of the college and a commencement speaker who’s entire point was don’t worry about getting a job, just follow your dreams. Parents walked out in droves. I stuck through the whole thing, but it sucked. I don’t have a huge issue with the points above, but they shouldn’t have been the focus of the evening. Not one mention of any sort of academic excellence or acknowledging any of the honor students were made. That really bothered me. My daughter wouldn’t even had been mentioned as she was a middle of the pack graduate, but I felt bad for those parents that had excellent students.
My daughter’s attitude was “thank God I’m not giving any more money to this place”.

I was also, upon graduating from H.S.
At that point I viewed academia as a bunch of dirty, long-haired dope-smoking pinko cowards.
As my understanding grew, I discovered that my view of them was wrong.
They are much worse than I thought.
It is an old one. The only discussion is the price of the transaction.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said “I think the level of naïveté on the part of the academic sector about this creates its own issues.”
I will advance that I think his level of naïveté regarding the "academic sector" betrays part of the problem.

Well, I guess you can't just go around and persecute people because you don't like them.
With liberty and justice for all...must be 18, void where prohibited, some restrictions may apply, not available in all states.
So what is the upshot? Oberlin has to deed over a fat building or two to the court?

They have an $800 million endowment. If they have to sell a couple of buildings to pay the judgement, then sell them. If they fold, then they fold. Few tears will fall. Playing by big-boy rules means that sometimes you lose.
In other words, fuck you, pay me.
