1. Since when does the "product" OWN an entity? 2 Customers do not equal "financers". You have your capitalism exactly backwards. Ivy grad? |
They are interested parties, but they are not owners of the private university. Current professors and students are interested parties, but so are the donors and the alumni and the board of directors. The problem with the protesters isn’t that the university isn’t listening, it’s that their views aren’t the only ones at stake here, and many simply DISAGREE. |
I love this picture so much. |
Cut them some slack, new employee on Israeli troll farm. |
Do you really want to start critiquing physical features? |
Great! So you agree that universities need to get rid of the nutbag protestors so that “the many” can get back to class. |
If students don't like where the university is investing the university's money, the student can leave and transfer to another school. Why does the university have to divest. There are plenty of students pining to get into Columbia. |
Only the American flag and the state flag belong on a college campus. Follow the rules and attend classes or go home to protest. |
Nope, because they are idiots. Per WSJ, divesting is meaningless. |
The protesters brought it on themselves with their shameless attention seeking behavior, so criticizing them is fair game. |
No actually a few, special interests, disagree. We know because there have been votes. You cannot own a University. You can own a building, you cannot own the human capital that is the product, nor can you own the customer. What we are witnessing is attempts by special interest groups to destroy the essential nature of the product. |
Folks need to keep in mind that the protestors are an incredibly small percentage of students.
I hate that these schools are getting painted with broad brushstrokes by a hyperventilating media desperate for content. At UCLA it was literally like 200 protestors - some of whom don't even attend the school - out of a student body of 30,000. Insane that these clowns are getting so much attention, but the media LOVES this type of content that sucks all the oxygen out of the room. |
80% of those arrested at Arizona State are NOT students.
This whole thing has been co-opted by professional rioters, foreign influences etc. |
Great point, and all sides love it. Protesters benefit from the disproportionate attention. Anti-protesters have something to get lathered up about. Media, platforms and influencers get clicks. The rage machine churns on. |
Why are they not asking for student ID? College administrations are allowing those messes. |
