The smartest students in USA are Muslims, Indians and Africans? Well, well, how things changed. No wonder they aren't satisfied, because the university got a white history, but now those people are there, it was destined to clash.
>>55189221
Honest question: How are universities like Yale still considered to be among the best? It makes me inclined to believe that all those university statistics putting so many American universities in the top places are simply made up in order to kow-tow to America.
Russia is gonna eat these people alive when they become politicians.
>All those minorities and niggers who got in based on affirmative action
absolutely disgusting
>>55190261
University rankings generally aren't about the quality of the education you get, especially at the undergraduate level. University rankings are mostly about the quality and amount of research put forth by the professors, and the quality of their credentials. To a lesser extent the quality of graduate school is tied in as well, but that's mainly because grad school is often connected to research.
Aka, undergrad students and programs don't mean jack squat in the quality of a university, only the educated upper ranks of (mostly white male) professors matter.
Imagine when whites actually become minorities in USA. They are going to end up like the whites in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
>>55189788

Reposting a leddit comment on this:
The way I understood the situation was that it went down like this:
>Intercultural Affairs Council (which sounds like SJW Mecca) sends email to an administrator of a particular college
>This is a fucking novel of an email, and contains links and pictures depicting what should and should not be deemed "acceptable" costumes for Halloween because muh racial cultural appropriation
>Administrator is like "lol dude don't you have more important shit to worry about, quit fucking whiteknighting these ethnic people and grow up" and blows it off
>This video is that administrator's husband getting berated by this crazy bitch

Why is there no white people at that university?
>>55189833
No, anon, college is just highschool 2.0.
There is NOTHING taught that you can't learn yourself and any company that requires a degree isn't one you'd want to work for.
>>55189833
Absolutely not, unless you're going for law school or graduating with a business/finance/economics degree in which case it's worth it for the networking factor. Most undergrad education in the top 50 schools is the same anywhere. Shit my school isn't even in the top 100 and I do pretty well. Degrees in things that matter though, you generally don't go to an Ivy. Unless it's Cornell.
>>55190743

>>55190777
Just because something can be self-taught doesn't mean it should be; having the guidance and mentorship of a teacher makes learning far quicker and more efficient. Most important part of college is networking anyways. What you learn at an ivy league school is no different than a regular state school, but the connections you make with teachers and fellow students can make all the difference in your life.
>>55189788
To be honest, I kinda hate the enablers just as much if not more, those idiotic SJW who in their self-righteous delusions actually think to be "doing good" while fighting any freedom and any right that doesn't suit them.
Are there any universities that aren't SJW infested?
>>55190819
> uses an actual meme as a counter for a legitimate statement
Okay
>>55190930
Only religious leaders like Jews who get rich by preaching or oil leaders' children have enough cash to be smart in Yale. You think we going to fly to Yale, we ain't no Eddie Murphy.
>>55190986
> going to school to network
Are you trying to imply that you need college to do that?
>>55191055
>>55191139
Most people learn better going to school especially in smaller classrooms with professors to give them hands on teaching and learning. They also are more motivated being in a classroom. It is more difficult to study everything by yourself especially when you are struggling with certain topic.

It's the worst Ivy.
>>55191050
Community technical Colleges are not
>>55191139
Again, it's not the fact that you can't do it outside of university, it's that doing so at university is much easier. Unless your dad is Trump or the president or something, what better place to start networking than at an institution chock full of thousands of big-name or future-big-name individuals all looking to network as well?

>>55189221
What do these emails says?
Can anyone tell me?
>>55192332
Dear Sillimanders:
Nicholas and I have heard from a number of students who were frustrated by the mass email sent to the student body about appropriate Halloweenwear. I’ve always found Halloween an interesting embodiment of more general adult worries about young people. As some of you may be aware, I teach a class on “The Concept of the Problem Child,” and I was speaking with some of my students yesterday about the ways in which Halloween – traditionally a day of subversion for children and young people – is also an occasion for adults to exert their control.
When I was young, adults were freaked out by the specter of Halloween candy poisoned by lunatics, or spiked with razor blades (despite the absence of a single recorded case of such an event). Now, we’ve grown to fear the sugary candy itself. And this year, we seem afraid that college students are unable to decide how to dress themselves on Halloween. I don’t wish to trivialize genuine concerns about cultural and personal representation, and other challenges to our lived experience in a plural community. I know that many decent people have proposed guidelines on Halloween costumes from a spirit of avoiding hurt and offense. I laud those goals, in theory, as most of us do. But in practice, I wonder if we should reflect more transparently, as a community, on the consequences of an institutional (which is to say: bureaucratic and administrative) exercise of implied control over college students.
It seems to me that we can have this discussion of costumes on many levels: we can talk about complex issues of identify, free speech, cultural appropriation, and virtue “signalling.” But I wanted to share my thoughts with you from a totally different angle, as an educator concerned with the developmental stages of childhood and young adulthood.
>>55192624
As a former preschool teacher, for example, it is hard for me to give credence to a claim that there is something objectionably “appropriative” about a blondehaired child’s wanting to be Mulan for a day. Pretend play is the foundation of most cognitive tasks, and it seems to me that we want to be in the business of encouraging the exercise of imagination, not constraining it. I suppose we could agree that there is a difference between fantasizing about an individual character vs. appropriating a culture, wholesale, the latter of which could be seen as (tacky)(offensive)(jejeune)(hurtful), take your pick. But, then, I wonder what is the statute of limitations on dreaming of dressing as Tiana the Frog Princess if you aren’t a black girl from New Orleans? Is it okay if you are eight, but not 18? I don’t know the answer to these questions; they seem unanswerable. Or at the least, they put us on slippery terrain that I, for one, prefer not to cross.
Which is my point. I don’t, actually, trust myself to foist my Halloweenish standards and motives on others. I can’t defend them anymore than you could defend yours. Why do we dress up on Halloween, anyway? Should we start explaining that too? I’ve always been a good mimic and I enjoy accents. I love to travel, too, and have been to every continent but Antarctica. When I lived in Bangladesh, I bought a sari because it was beautiful, even though I looked stupid in it and never wore it once. Am I fetishizing and appropriating others’ cultural experiences? Probably. But I really, really like them too. Even if we could agree on how to avoid offense – and I’ll note that no one around campus seems overly concerned about the offense taken by religiously conservative folks to skinrevealing costumes – I wonder, and I am not trying to be provocative: Is there no room anymore for a child or young person to be a little bit obnoxious… a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive?
>>55192666
American universities were once a safe space not only for maturation but also for a certain regressive, or even transgressive, experience;increasingly, it seems, they have become places of censure and prohibition. And the censure and prohibition come from above, not from yourselves! Are we all okay with this transfer of power? Have we lost faith in young people's capacity – in your capacity to exercise selfcensure, through social norming, and also in your capacity to ignore or reject things that trouble you? We tend to view this shift from individual to institutional agency as a tradeoff between libertarian vs. liberal values (“liberal” in the American, not European sense of the word).
Nicholas says, if you don’t like a costume someone is wearing, look away, or tell them you are offended. Talk to each other. Free speech and the ability to tolerate offence are the hallmarks of a free and open society.
But – again, speaking as a child development specialist – I think there might be something missing in our discourse about the exercise of free speech (including how we dress ourselves) on campus, and it is this: What does this debate about Halloween costumes say about our view of young adults, of their strength and judgment?
In other words: Whose business is it to control the forms of costumes of young people? It's not mine, I know that.
Happy Halloween.
What is she complaining/"protesting" about? I don't get it. Is it about that safe space bullshit?

She didn't even really attack their (idiotic) central point, that dressing up is racist or whatever, just encouraged them to resolve their differences civilly amongst themselves through debate or, better yet, turning the other cheek instead of constantly soliciting institutional authorities to shut down their opposition and mollycoddle them.

What disturbs me the most is ho äw simple of a concept this is. If such students are so intelligent to get into a school like Yale, you would think them more enlightened than to waste their time with such baser grievances. I see the opposite.
I feel they think their "intelligence" means they need to stand above the crowd of regular, apathetic people and put the duty of saving the whole universe on their shoulders.
But this is, to me, a tell-tale sign of the educated idiot. She follows suit with what her angry peers say is the correct mode of thinking completely ignoring ACTUAL issues that literally PLAGUE this country. Live is unlivable for many people, yet the fear that someone might get offended at something is the most important issue of our time for these people; people who have not had the chance to experience any real hardship other than the years of their lives wasted on arbitrary facts only to be forgotten after test time.
There is a chance the only interractions these girls have had were on their Liberal Internet sites. Imagine the childhood lost under the scrutiny of their parents to get "perfect grades". Their life was wasted and they consider it to be a plus despite it having made them retarded.

This assumption of our society needs to be challenged and put to the test. I do not believe anymore that Ivy League students are smarter than state school students: in fact I believe just the opposite. After over 20 years of being a post-grad from a state school and seeing shit like this come out of the Ivy League, and hearing from hiring managers, I just don;t believe it anymore.

This is very true. I personally believe that the current university system is outdated. The prices, the administration, the whole system all seems to be severely broken, leading to dire consequences. Idiots are getting pieces of paper that magically elevate them to a higher rank in society.
I am not saying that I know a solution by any means. There has to be a solution somewhere. I feel that if we could find a system of education that actually improves upon what we already have, we might have a chance at a decent future. If that means abolishing the whole system and creating something new, then so be it. These kids do not embrace life experiences but rather reject them. Thinking on your own and learning to strengthen yourself emotionally is how you become smart in the first place. Why do we reject this? We sell our souls for credentials.

Nice trips, but I'm the office manager of an arts organization, and not having a college degree looks very bad. You need a sterling resume to compensate.
A college degree shows that you can commit to something and finish it, and probably learn something while you're doing it. I'd rather have somebody who spent four years earning a degree than somebody who wandered around but is "really smart." Plus student loans mean that they probably aren't going to slack off, because they really need an income.

ivyfag here. the elite schools are sunk.

of course, this will change when people amass money and have families and slowly realize that they really don't give a fuck about other people as much as they thought they did. people get more conservative with age.

Have we lost faith in young people's capacity – in your capacity to exercise selfcensure, through social norming, and also in your capacity to ignore or reject things that trouble you? We tend to view this shift from individual to institutional agency as a tradeoff between libertarian vs. liberal values (“liberal” in the American, not European sense of the word).

Nicholas says, if you don’t like a costume someone is wearing, look away, or tell them you are offended. Talk to each other. Free speech and the ability to tolerate offence are the hallmarks of a free and open society.
But – again, speaking as a child development specialist – I think there might be something missing in our discourse about the exercise of free speech (including how we dress ourselves) on campus, and it is this: What does this debate about Halloween costumes say about our view of young adults, of their strength and judgment?
In other words: Whose business is it to control the forms of costumes of young people? It's not mine, I know that.
Happy Halloween.

Whoops I'm retarded. It's already been posted. Sue me.
It's like watching a Toddler
>Why doesn't everyone agree with me
>Why wont you do what i want
>Why wont you obey me
>Raising your voice and screaming like that makes you correct
I always wonder why someone doesn't act as an agent provocateur for these things and push them to the point of parody so the backlash quells the idea for good. Have someone start a campaign to ban Halloween costumes in general since they are all triggering (either through cultural appropriation or themes such as murder etc.) or to limit people to choice from a pre-approved list.
The backlash would be enormous.
Humanity was always a fucking cesspool. The only difference in these times is that everyone can voice their opinion and read other opinions online. Something that was impossible to do, or at least very limited, some 20 years ago.
Yes, a mere 20 years. That's all it took to give the freedom to everyone to express themselves freely, and in come cases, anonymously, and see just how... fucked up people really are.
Honestly, the world might've been a better place without it.

I predict that a ban on Halloween-related activities on campus or Halloween costumes will be in place next year at Yale, even without an agent provocateur.
Large institutions and organizations hate controversy, because it disrupts their activities. As a result, their default response to activist outrage (of which the Left, by definition, is more familiar with), is to give in as quickly as they can and to then prevent similar situations from arising in the future. None of the bureaucrats in the school administration care about Halloween more than they do their steady jobs without controversy, so they'll do what they can to quietly avoid future opportunities for students to complain about Halloween.

Freedom of Expression
When you come to Yale College you join a community of scholars from around the nation and the world. Yale, like every community, has certain values and principles by which it operates. Among the College’s most cherished principles is its commitment to freedom of expression.
Freedom of expression is especially important in an academic community, where the search for truth holds a primary value. In 1975, a committee chaired by the late C. Vann Woodward, one of Yale’s most distinguished professors, issued the Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression at Yale, informally called the Woodward Report. This document emphasizes that the history of intellectual growth and discovery demonstrates the need to be able to “think the unthinkable, discuss the unmentionable, and challenge the unchallengeable.” The report acknowledges that such freedom may sometimes make life uncomfortable in a small society such as a college. But it also asserts that “because no other institution combines the discovery and dissemination of basic knowledge with teaching, few need assign such high priority to it.”
Yale’s commitment to freedom of expression means that when you agree to matriculate, you join a community where “the provocative, the disturbing, and the unorthodox” must be tolerated. When you encounter people who think differently than you do, you will be expected to honor their free expression, even when what they have to say seems wrong or offensive to you.
As we honor the right of free expression, we also honor Yale College as a community of teachers and learners who value civility in all their interactions and who maintain a sensitivity to the circumstances and feelings that inform their ideas. It is in a civil and respectful community that freedom of expression can best thrive.

Lol it's not even that bad. DESU the girl probably comes from a background of oppression and the professor didn't even understand that...
She has a point though, university needs to be safe otherwise how will people learn if they're stressed or thinking about past trauma?

This sentiment has fallen completely out of favour recently. Or rather it was never popular outside of academics and the people who populate universities now, by sheer number alone, are not academics but simply the middle class, who are normal people. normal people do not suspend all their beliefs and emotional comfort for the search for "truth". This is an unusual trait that was even in academia constantly threatened by bias and personal motive. We can't possibly expect institutions of tens of thousands of normal people to think that way.
