Maggie's Farm

Colleges are in a lose-lose situation. From Washington they get more and more regulation under Title IX. DoED and DOJ won't miss any opportunity to run anything and everything.

Activists of every persuasion arrive with lawyers after the smallest skirmish. Campus groups regard free speech is negotiable at best while trying to permit only their own. Some believe in physical attacks.

Accused or punished students can sue the colleges for denial of due process yet due process is nearly impossible to even define, let alone to conduct, w/o mistakes.

And local law enforcement itself can charge university administrators with obstruction or negligence when crimes are not promptly reported or evidence is lost or tainted.

Insummary: Faculty and administrators have almost all agreed on what they wanted for a half-century. Now they are getting it 'good and hard' as Mencken would phrase it. Worse is to come.

They may as well relax, open their legs, and dream of unicorns and butterflys and pretty clouds.
