Gotta protect the administrators from checks notes professors.
“A group of 11 professors arrived at Gibson Hall Friday morning to deliver an open letter signed by 250 faculty members that condemned the university’s response to a pro-Palestinian encampment and demanded it drop suspensions against seven students involved.
“Nine armed police officers stopped the group from entering Gibson.”
@Npars01@abdalian Maybe we taxpayers should start funding them again to the point that tuition is free (like the University of California and many other schools used to be), making donors unnecessary and therefore powerless.
Post secondary education stopped being free when it started being used as a springboard for social mobility under the GI Bill with Vietnam War veterans who weren't white.
It was marketed by Reagan as a "tax revolt". It was really a war on democracy.
@Npars01@msbellows@abdalian As in GOP to POC: “You didn’t tell me there were going to be multiple generations needing education.”
but GOP to white people: “We need to get you your own schools. Also, have more babies.”
