He's pulling support from the school that's cracking down so heavily and violently on the protests? What's he for I'm having trouble understanding the logic here.
It's easy. He wants more pressure, more punishment, also it's a good excuse to get out now since colleges are doomed in the US due to reasons.
What reasons
Oh, the massive loan fraud situation, corporate poatching of talent and patents, the fact that most collages are run by a bunch of greedy, nepotistic fucks, whose concern for acedemia begins and ends with football teams.
The slow moving enshitification has been going on for years, and soon people who want to be taken seriously in the market place will either avoid US collages altogether or go to foreign collages.
Uni's will be fine, but collages? Without management reform, we'll be seeing a downward curve regarding their legitimacy - from an academic point of view, of course.
Privatize everything free market capitalists have been chipping away at K-12 for some time now. Charter ~~factories~~ Schools are primo examples of divide and conquer public education.
