I wouldn't put it past that alt-right speaker/kid to bring his own 'protesters' to stir up violence. After all, he's pretty vocal about wanting to "burn down" all established forms of government and society.

Trump is dumb enough to see a few masked anarchists....decide they're all students and everyone needs to be punished.....then try to show everyone how tough he is by doing something this idiotic.

Given its clear disregard for free speech, and failure of the campus to protect all of its students, do you think the gov. Should pull out?
Yes.

Though to be honest, I think all government funding to education should be pulled.

But, you are not upset by the Left's use of violence to silence those who hold opinions that differ from their own?

Means more what? You still haven't explained anything. University of Phoenix has a significantly higher enrollment than UC Berkeley. Does that also "mean far more"?

When the University of Phoenix ranks in the world's Top 5-then we'll talk.

But it speaks volumes when such a large, diverse public university to rank in the same league as the world's best.

The University of California system as a whole is extremely powerful placing 4 in the world's top 20.
