Three months ago, Dartmouth College in New Hampshire canceled a College Republicans event featuring journalist Andy Ngo in response to violent threats made by Antifa activists and "concerning information" the school claimed it received from Hanover police.



Now, the school is insisting that Dartmouth College Republicans pay $3,600 in security fees for the canceled event and warning that failure to pay the fees will result in the club being unable to request further funds from the school.

The University of South Carolina held a "White Student Accountability Group" meeting last month for white students at the College of Social Work to discuss their "contribution" to racism. :dash1:

White students should discuss their contribution to that university and enroll at a different place of higher learning.

A Johns Hopkins University center dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse hired a professor who said adult sexual attraction to minors is OK as long as it's not acted upon.



The Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse announced Thursday that Allyn Walker will join the center as a postdoctoral fellow May 25, Fox News reported.



Walke, while previously an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University, stated in an interview last November that "there is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone because no one can control who they're attracted to at all."



In the Prostasia interview, Walker added that "it's not who we're attracted to that's either OK or not OK. It's our behaviors and responding to that attraction that are either OK or not OK." Walker also went to great lengths to differentiate between pedophiles and minor-attracted people in what seemed to be an attempt to normalize adult attractions to people under the age of 18 as long as those attractions aren't carried out:



Amid controversy over the interview, Walker was placed on administrative leave in mid-November.

It's often the assumption that those giving their two cents worth at a University are smart. This couldn't be further from the truth. In this case I think Walker needs to take a long stroll over a short bridge or precipice for that matter.

Some of the most batshit crazy gibberish I have ever heard uttered has come from the mouths of tenured professors.

Universities in the US in particular are way overpriced and all of the courses are now subsumed with bizarre ideological neo-Marxism. Many futurists are predicting a dire time for universities within a decade, with some prediction that up to 50% will fold. Online training will likely become much better, and universities may not be able to compete with private providers.


Online courses are the way to go. One can chip away at a course while working. Mature age students find attending universities with naive young folk to be mentally draining. Listening to monotonous lecturers is the pits!

I was in a mechanical engineering program for about a year and a half. It's hard to catch up if you miss anything.

Totally...online courses wouldn't be feasible for all, particularly mechanical engineering as it's more hands on with practicals. Business degrees, accounting etc wouldn't be an issue.

I never went to university, but online seems okay for liberal arts degrees.

Absolutely. It's good when you can just plug away at something on the side while still living normal routines. Otherwise it's just put on the

back burner and is forgotten about.
