A small victory for freedom

[oldpink]

In this day and age of crybulliles having a heckler's veto, finally an institution of higher learning officially puts its foot down:

Let's all hope that this is only the first of many to follow.

My graduate alma mater. Let's see if they stick to their guns.

Of course, that's all any university had to do...

I couldn't get the link to load, what school was this??

The University of Chicago, or as they now call it, UChicago.

While the stain of Barack and Michelle still hangs over the school, it has also been home to many great minds, including e.g. Enrico Fermi.

I just saw this on the news.
Just floored that it is Chicago!
There just might, may be, hope for this country yet.

Maybe some of these "Institutions of Higher Learning" will start to come to the realization that the monster they have been feeding is growing into proportions so great that it will consume everything around them.

Yep
The wiser heads are finally realizing that principles matter, and not just for altruistic reasons.

I await the uprising. They will be demonstrated, rioted, and burned in effigy into submission. The U will eventually renounce J Ellison the Dean of Students and he will retire in shame. As it should be.

I say let them try, and then watch the tidal wave of a backlash absolutely annihilate them.

Very surprised to see this coming out of Chicago. Seems there are still people of integrity in that cesspool.

'Twas only a matter of time. The administration will eventually cave and fire the dean of students who will be homeless unless he has an alternative skill besides academia.

Trump could appoint him to head the Dept. of Ed. (until the dismantling is complete)

Trump could abolish the DOE.

You mean like Indiana University tuition going up far faster than inflation, or the rise of "IU Health", or the money the NCAA gives to member schools, or TV rights for sports, etc.?

They should just drop the whole ".edu" pretense and replace it with ".com". IU's operating budget for 2015-16 is $3.27 BILLION.
