Protests on college campuses

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.

Schools are allowing this. Why are 5% of students plus unauthorized non students allowed to hijack campuses?

DP.

Protesting is fine. Fair game. Part of the college experience.

Universities just need to enforce their time/place/manner restrictions so it doesn't disrupt other students' education.

And arrest non-students for trespass.

They just managed to shut down Columbia indefinitely.

Why do you get off so much on being angry and hateful?

The protesters aren’t victims. They are depriving other students on an in person education and in some campuses, a graduation.

The universities are aiding and abbeting war crimes, depriving thousands of life and millions of livelihood.

Then the “students” should get an education elsewhere at a university whose values they support. They are free to leave. They aren’t free to occupy private property to make “demands” the university doesn’t agree with.

The University does not belong to a handful of the power class who weaponize their wealth and influence, nor to a handful of beaurocrats or political operatives. It belongs to the students and faculty. They have voted.

On what planet?

A university definitely does NOT belong to students or faculty. They are temporary, transient and eminently replaceable customers and employees, respectively.

On a planet where the will of the many does not need to bow the knee to the interest of the few. It used to be called a Democracy.

Professors and students are not temporary customers and employees, they are the PRODUCT and the FINANCERS. Universities can function perfectly fine without the involvement of donors, piliticians or the military.

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.

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.

No one is claiming to own the students or their “capital.” We are talking about the university buildings which on Columbia are PRIVATELY OWNED and not by the students who pay tuition.

I agree that’s what’s reasonable and should be expected, but the professors/administrators/all the higher ups are sympathetic to the protests and allowed them to go on too long. Now they’ve lost control to a mob of a bunch of random agitators from outside the university community. If they had nipped the illegal encampments in the bud, we wouldn’t be here right now.

Yeah, civil disobedience involves disobedience - and arrests. It's all the standard part of part of protesting. These kids are learning, some of them the hard way.

Of course protesting is fine. Right now they are barring access to buildings, vandalizing buildings, forcing schools to shut down… no excuse for allowing the majority of students to suffer due to so few.

An encampment outside the White House or Capital Hill makes more sense

It is the university leadership that is proving to be feckless.

Time to drop protesting and disobedience as acceptable college experience, the experience is going to class and learning applicable skills like STEM, the other stuff is worthless and the starting salaries for those majors prove that.

You’re literally prolonging the destruction of Gaza with this attitude. Good job.
