Reposted by nomarieBrian Phillips @brianphillips.lol · 22/05/2026The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself.

I think city hall is not used to being bound to respect any minority rights whatsoever, and they certainly imagine us a minority. 162

They are designed in such a way that it is inevitable that they kill people. You can’t stand next to either of them during rush hour and think “this is safe”. And there are people we elect who could change these places and they refuse. 162
