Most simply this all boils down to two entirely incompatible models of
a university. One institution produces thinkers who can innovate and
lead. The other is a training camp that produces docile workers for
the oligarchs. Regardless of allowing students free speech on campus
universities have been heading toward the latter for three decades.
It's a little late to be preaching courage thirty years after
selling-out the core tenets of pedagogy. There is so much more to this
than just "Trump". The fascists in power now are the result of 30
years of moral cowardice.
