this is the rape culture btw. the one women have been warning you about, and were told we were hysterical and over-sensitive and couldn't take a joke, and that rape allegations ruin men's lives, and now we live in a meritocracy where the only "merit" is who has hurt the most women

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

I don’t know what to say about the Cornell 7 which others more learned and eloquent haven’t already. The only thing I will add is: fraternity culture as it exists on American university campuses is likely irredeemable. The concept of brotherhood as a sacred bond has been exploited by the very worst.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

This is why the Vanderbilt/WashU report cannot be understood apart from both institutions‘ massive investments in AI. Their leaders needed to discredit those disciplines and forms of knowledge asking hard questions about the cultural, social, political, and environmental costs of AI.

One reason to learn about things outside your major is so that you have something to talk about with people at parties and on dates. No amount of money will make up for you being a crushing bore. History majors learn this early but I guess it takes other people longer.
