@rbreich I wonder what university heads are even thinking, when they decide the largely peaceful (ok, sometimes disruptive) protests/encampments need to be removed. Is it the difficult and uncomfortable bundle of subject matter (with reputational risks for even discussing) plus outside pressures from boards? Years ago UC Davis president Katehi tanked her career for dispatching police to rough up students.
If I hear one more had-only-one-job-ever ivory tower journalist grumping about the grass being ruined at these campuses for commencement ceremonies, I’m gonna shit a house.
