The Universities need to reassert their authority but they have no idea how.

Too many years of teaching kids not to respect any authority has come home to roost. The tyranny of the few is here, ruining education for other students, or graduations affected, and the Universities are letting it all happen.

Students don’t own the school…they pay for a service. They make no rules.

And Universities are terrified of doing anything serious about it.

I feel sorry for the kids who want an education.

American Universities are, like most other things in America, run by money, both directly through fees and donations, and indirectly through research projects and funding. And there is the corporate $ again.😷

@eli1601 Maybe... College football is a thing almost unique to America and as a non sports fan I wont pretend to understand its exact place in the system. But its clearly part of the college marketing profile..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman The colleges are where American football started and grew in the late 1800's, long before the NFL was a thing. In fact the Ivy League schools were where the sport was born, especially Yale, Princeton, and Harvard.
