Some major universities give students 10 total sessions across all 4 years of school (so 3 sessions a year and 1 bonus one... as if that will make headway on any problem). This is absurd, given how many mental illnesses show up in the 18-21 range & how many millennials lack coping skills.

by Anonymousreply 4November 13, 2015 11:30 PM

I can't imagine doing this when I was in university and grad school in the mid-90s. It surely would have resulted in expilsion or the loss of my fellowship. I was reminded often how fortunate I was to be there. It wasn't my place to make demands. It was my place to learn.

7) A darkened mental health room outfitted with swinging relaxation wombs

a. A cuddly kitten of color in each womb

b. A grandmotherly transwoman serving Rice Krispies treats and fair-trade vegan hot chocolate in cradleable mugs

c. A non-body-shaming masseuse on days of the week ending in -day

d. A loving note hidden in each backpack to be found later and reflected upon in our most triggered moments

The problem is that they've become jokes and no one is going to take them seriously.

That's what I don't understand R9. This must be a small percentage of students. Wouldn't most of the other students have a -- "are you kidding me with this" type reaction?

Do think it's nuts or are they supportive of this? I wonder.

They're trivializing those who work everyday to promote real tolerance, diversity and support for the disenfranchised. Their silliness (keep out of OUR SPACE- You're not making our space SAFE! chants; collapsing over opinions on questionable Halloween costumes, etc) and ever-increasing aggressive behavior and ridiculous list of demands is their undoing.

They will overstep and physically hurt someone (it's coming, be assured) and that will be the real 'trigger' for campuses to begin banning and expelling them. And it will set back justified student activism for years.

Funny that they singled out the Christakis family. Nicholas Christakis has been hated of conservatives for years because of his sociological research suggesting that obesity, smoking, etc. are socially rather than individually determined. But the SJWs were so incensed about his wife's championing of free speech in Halloween costumes that they want them to step down?

I think the SJWs are showing their hand: they are conservative fakers, not liberal revolutionaries.

Unfortunately, the students who are racist on the Yale campus have been indoctinated into their beliefs by their parents for many years. A required class or two is not going to change their minds.

If these kids are going to make any permanent changes, they need to organize better and choose student leaders who can make a good impression while making their voices heard. Screaming and a list of demands are only hurting their cause. They need to take one point at a time, and work to change that, then move onto the next. Counseling for all is a good first step. Think smart, kids.

I like how they are SJW but almost everyone of their demands is ridiculously luxurious, expensive, and coddling. I mean really.

I went to 2 ivy league colleges and back then some of us were lefty and P.C. and somewhat coddled. I don't know how it has been exponentially expanded to result in this frighteningly entitled screed. It's not at all revolutionary or progressive. It's embarrassing for them, the institution, and it's laughable.

I am going to guess this is a small cult of excessiveness and really most ivy league students are just getting on with their business.

by Anonymousreply 39November 14, 2015 12:35 PM

I would also like to remind Data Lounge readers that it is very rare for an student to go into very high dept to get a B.A. or B.S. from an Ivy League college. "Hundreds of thousands" in debt for a b.a., must be a special hell reserved for lesser students who go to less generous universities with "prestige". Go ahead and justify your loans and parents' sacrifice to send you to NYU, dumbass.

Ivy League schools have billion dollar endowments and need-blind admissions. Undergraduate students will be billed something reasonably affordable with reasonable loans. The rest is grants. Only the wealthy are paying full fare. I had a full tuition scholarship myself. And I felt there was extreme luxury on campus in the 80s and 90s. This coddling has grown so much since then. How is that possible? And yet, its STILL not enough?

Do any of them know how to say "please and thank you", and go read a book and write a good paper? Maybe meet some rich foreign students who will invite them to Mumbai or Rio for Easter Break, and see some real social justice nightmare situations?

President Martin must issue a statement of apology to students, alumni and former students, faculty, administration and staff who have been victims of several injustices including but not limited to our institutional legacy of white supremacy, colonialism, anti-black racism, anti-Latinx racism, anti-Native American racism, anti-Native/ indigenous racism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Middle Eastern racism, heterosexism, cis-sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, mental health stigma, and classism.

First of all, SJWs are just the PC folks of the 1990s. It's not new, and I'm old enough to remember the significant backlash to PC, which didn't cause much political change at all. The conservatism in the US happened thanks to 9/11 and Bush & Chaney, not because of PC.

And second, the Republicans are in a shambles. There's no way they could even dream of being organized enough to pull off something that would involve nuance.

Finally, DL is noted for hating women. It's not exactly at the top of a list of sites of folks who would care about issues that have traditionally been the domain of feminists and lesbians.

That's your thing today, isn't it? "Spamming." It seems like every day you have some new singular obsession that you bitch about on multiple threads, and today, it's "right wing spammers" and "radfem spammers" and "bigot spammers." I'm sure there will be more spammers to complain about before lunch; the day is young.

Don't get me wrong: I enjoy the pleasant irony behind someone spamming DL to complain about invisible spammers that no one else sees.

Interesting Twitter account at r41. Found this gem there, re-tweeted from another student (not the Twitter owner):

- I hate to say it but if our civil disobedience is to be greeted with violence there is only one option left #Mizzou -

But there's been no violence against them, unless you count the kooky white kid tweeting dumb threats (and he was found to be nowhere near the campus, but posting from 100s of miles away). Like I said earlier, some of these "protesters" are waiting for the moment to snap and strike out; that's when the real shit will begin.

What seemed like the cushiest job imaginable right out of grad school turned nightmarish upon realization that no one really wants help or to better themselves, or even to progress into adulthood; they want validation, and also confirmation that they need to be protected from life.

Not to belabor the twitter account at r41, but it's an interesting study.

This student/"activist" had regular activity most of the past several months, posting about usual collegiate-age things: Drake; relationship problems; getting ready to go back to school and Homecoming. Posting once or twice a week and sometimes skipping a few weeks over the summer. There is -nothing- about social issues or causes, racism on campus or protests.

The last usual post was Halloween. Then her twitter literally explodes: posts all about Mizzou racism; racial oppression; dangers safe space and protesting. All since Nov 10th, like a switch flicked and a justice warrior created overnight. Literally.

I mean where did all this come from with these kids? One day tweeting about Beyonce, the next calling white student neighbors "terrorists" and demanding protection from racist oppressors they never saw before. huh- ?

Government control of education has reached apogee and created a monster. With the availability of education on the Internet and the high costs of "higher education", I have a feeling that this is the end of parental payments for college. If you want to waste your time, take out a loan.

Free will eventually mean worthless. Why look for a job if you can get loans to live for free?

If everyone can go to college, the value of a degree will drop commensurately.

I suspect that if community colleges were suddenly free for students and dependent on federal and state programs for all funding, they would do whatever they could to attract more funding: that is, expand and attract those currently disinclined to attend. This would likely not result in a renewed focus on the more-taxing STEM classes or successful professional feeder programs, but would be much more likely result in an expansion of less-taxing areas of study that have less practical value in the job marketplace.

While this transformation occurs, I expect that many highly-motivated but cost-conscious prospective students will see zero tuition as a way to avoid the price of their first two years of college. Four-year schools will find it difficult to compete with zero tuition, especially among those who lack focus or guidance (but enroll anyway and pay full tuition.)

In Europe college is free but not many people go. Most leave school at 15 and do apprenticeships to learn trades (which pay very well and they earn modest sums while they're apprentices).

Also in Europe, tuition may be free (or not - usually you do have to pay a modest amount) but living expenses sure aren't covered. And if you want to work your way through college to pay for your living expenses, books, etc., good luck. There are very few part-time jobs in Europe for students to work at.

Yes, the European model provides trade jobs. They are experiencing some of our failed capitalism issues now though because they have too many immigrants.

The issues addressed in point 1 (ethnic studies requirements and funding) will be hamstrung by the fact that all humanities in academia are taking ugly budget hits -- some departments have stopped existing at all.

The issues of points 2, 3 and 6 (funding for ethnic cultural support, poorer students during breaks and expanding healthcare for poorer students whose campus medical/dental/optometry might be their own access to such care) are valid. Culture shock is real, as is the lack of funds and often, home support.

Points 4 and 5 are bossy window dressing and make it easy to toss out the other requests.
