[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt that most people I knew at Middlebury loved learning and supporting their peers. [/quote]

Perhaps 2-3 decades ago.

Certainly not now.

OP, are you open to going abroad?[/quote]

I was there one decade ago. Is your certainty based on anything?[/quote]

Multiple disgusting and anti-intellectual incidents in the last 5 years.[/quote]

Perpetrated by how many Middlebury students?[/quote]

Way too many[/quote]

I take it you’re a conservative who’s butthurt about recent protests. (I have zero connection to Middlebury.)[/quote]
NP- not conservative and wouldn’t not have kid apply to Midd on the basis of [b]referenced[/b] events. Am concerned about increasingly viewing everything as for or against, right or wrong, especially in academia.  What’s now on Facebook has been in academia for the last 8 plus years. It’s a terrifyingly closed mindset.[/quote]

The sweet irony of you complaining about being close-minded. Too rich. [/quote]

DP -- if you don't understand what PP is saying, you truly don't understand what Learning or Intellectual or College means.[/quote]

No events have been cited in this thread. I know of two that caused widespread offense. Are there others?

1. The trashing of flags on 9/11/2013, that was done by a mere FIVE students.

2. The Charles Murray incident was indeed unfortunate. 67 students were confirmed to be part of the fiasco and punished. They represent less than 3% of the student body.

Seems that PPs who claim to have a grasp of 'intellectualism' don't have a very strong grasp of math. [/quote]
