    Wasting thousands of dollars to turn their campuses into trashy tent-cities and ultimately accomplish nothing? They probably go to their parent’s upper-class homes at night to sleep, and stop for artisanal coffees on their way back to protesting in the morning.

    Performative junk.

      A lot of these universities, especially ones like Columbia, MIT, Yale, Cornell, Stanford and Harvard, are “rich people” universities. They’ll survive.

      Tbh I’m kinda surprised that we haven’t had an increasing number of rich parents telling the schools to go fuck themselves because their silver-spooned babies are having their things trashed and finding themselves in jail.
