#1 Actions have consequences. Liberals act so surprised every time this happens to them.

#4 The concept of cause and effect are alien to the Left. Dogma and the narrative are their only world, yet they dare use terms like 'scientific', which they systematically debase, to rationalize that world.

#5 Looks like capitalism has organised a very effective boycott...

Now the next republican government has to price in those not paying back their loans to take off university" budgets.

#6 In March, the university announced that it saw a sharp drop in admissions for the coming school year, and will have 1,500 fewer students. This will lead to a $32 million budget shortfall for the school, prompting the need to close the dorms in order to save money.

Wait a minute:

$32 million divided by 1500 students equals...let's see...where's my calculator? Is that $21,333 per student per year? Multiply that times four and it seems like a lot of money to pay for a liberal arts degree that won't be worth the paper it's printed on. They might have to let some of the faculty go. You know, concentrate on teaching those kids something worthwhile...nah. They wouldn't do that.

#7 In the name of fairness: disband the football program, fire the athletic dept, cancel player scholarships and salt the field.

#8 Probably could also do a serious review and pruning of academic programs.
