    Seems like such a contradicting message from a school that is supposed to encourage independent thinking.

    Edit: colleges with large endowment funds seem like glorified businesses with conflicts of interest.

        Suppressing what was clearly a peaceful protest. Almost all these colleges have used the police and violence to escalate things and then blame the students for their inability to take criticism.

        Edit: I think I misread your comment, I agree maybe they don’t encourage it, but should if they want to be considered a college.

        Any college that refers to their graduates as “a [college name] man” clearly expects a large degree of conformity.

      “any institution with an endowment as large as Harvard’s isn’t a school, it’s a hedge fund that offers classes, and should lose it’s tax exempt status”… Sorry I forget who said it, and I’m paraphrasing
