In a way, what is happening across university campuses is fascinating to observe but I don't see how it ends well for anyone involved.
These predominantly liberal run institutions are paranoid of being called racist or anti-pc so they bend over backwards to accommodate these student minority activist groups.
Meanwhile the activist groups are becoming more and more emboldened and militant, demanding that people be fired, that Woodrow Wilson's name be removed, that they have safe spaces with no media
allowed. We had an activist literally SHRIEKING and cursing in the face of a Yale professor over halloween costumes a few weeks ago, and he just dutifully takes it with a sheepish look, like he's a child
being scolded by a parent.
So do the liberal institutions just cave to their increasingly ridiculous demands or do they put their foot down and demand mutual respect and no doubt get called racist for it?
If I were a minority student, I sure wouldn't want these people speaking for me.
People have the right to demand respect. Some (not all) Whites have not been raised to believe they have to be respectful of other cultures and when these people are put in positions of power they encounter issues such as whats seen in the video.
The bottom line is treat people the way you want to be treated and the problems are solved. You can't judge and be mean to people and expect for them to sit.

Respect is a two way street. The way that student acted in the video is indefensible.
The professor should have told her that if she can't discuss something like an adult, the conversation is over.
I see a lot of graduates coming out of Brown University with huge school loan debt and no marketable skills to get a good paying job.
The employers will definitely be at Brown University like they are at many. Internships will be offered too. The students will be fine, and have student loan debt like many do today. Most employers that come to the Career Fairs have to pay, so they definitely will be hiring students. The students have great opportunities ahead of them if they take advantage of both career fairs and internships.

Higher Education is a venue where students can express their first amendment rights. It is welcomed. College Presidents do not want it to end, and it will not. Their may be some changes to the Speech Codes, but not much. Students can freely express their thoughts on campus. Presidents will continue to support the rights of students. Not much outsiders can do about it. The Durango Herald 11/22/2015 | College presidents defend importance of free speech
Brown is a private university with an endowment of over $3 billion, so its tuition isn't a concern to me and $10 million/year is chicken-feed.
