[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re working from the wrong premise. The college market is all about product differentiation. Every school wants a niche, otherwise it’s just a stats game. Oberlin attracts a certain kind of student, and that kind of student wants oberlin as is. They agree with the bakery lawsuit. Remember the New Yorker article about Oberljn a few years ago? I recently re-read it and googled the students named in the article. They’re all in super-left jobs, came out as nonbinary, etc. Not my thing, but it’s clearly a valid path for those who want it. [/quote] Correct. I knew someone who went there who likely could have gone anywhere they wanted. They chose Oberlin. Now an activist with super left causes and non-binary so you are spot on. I think they are overly militant about it (they have alienated a number of lifelong friends who are very left but not left enough for them). But they found their people at Oberlin.[/quote]
