    The leadership of these colleges are a part of the oligarchy. They proved that when they chose to crush their students civil rights and bend the knee.

    Calling most of these corporate whores “academics” is like calling Musk an “engineer”. It’s complete bullshit. They are the leadership of a for-profit corporation. Their actions sully all of their credentials and authority.
