[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never pay a dollar to an institution that capitulated to what the Trump administration is doing right now. I have accepted that this means that our kids will attend college outside the US. [/quote]
As if you could get in haha

I am not sure whether this is a ref to getting in to Brown (which I did) or about institutions outside the US (have not, but feel confident that I could).

I went to a different school in the US, which has also capitulated and which I also will not pay another dime to.

I cannot imagine how anyone who got real intellectual value out of college could want their kid to spend those four same years of their lives at an institution where Trump admin officials are reading every student eval. Let alone pay for it!

The reputational stain on these institutions, once it is fully understood, will last for decades.[/quote]

There was a lot of intellectual value gained at these schools prior to the rise of student activism. History is long and that is a big part of Columbia's core curriculum. I don't think anti-DEI is doing away with Plato or Hannah Arendt.
The primary focus of a school is academics. Not political agitation.

Drama queen. The impact will be nil. Unless you like those unhinged pro-jihadist associate professors Columbia now has a good excuse to rid itself of. Then you can be outraged and go to Iran.[/quote][/quote]
