Rutgers, like Northwestern, voluntarily takes on dhimmi status — 28 Comments

  1. I don’t know.

    There are a number of media articles – some from right leaning sites – covering the increased interest in Southern universities which may not be of the few we typically think of as nationally regarded top tier schools, but nonetheless have positive reputations among attendees.

    Obviously, Duke and the University of North Carolina, Vanderbilt and University of Texas are known, but it seems that schools like University of Georgia, and University of South Carolina are attracting northern students.

    Whether this will continue to benefit both the schools and the students attending, or whether these schools will become transformed into the emotional sh#t holes the students are fleeing, or merely avoiding, remains to be seen.

    Vanderbilt, U. of Georgia, and South Carolina have been chosen by members of my own family, in instances where Harvard [ for a fellowship] or other Ivy League schools were an undergrad option.

    To this point they do not appear to have been affected negatively by exclusion from the Ivy League “in-crowd networking privilege” which Ivy League advocates promote as a life – and generationally – altering entree into permanent social privilege, elite status and entitlement.

  2. Skip:

    Not all the presidents are members of a woke identity group themselves, but they all strongly support wokeness and DEI. They could not have become college presidents without having that all-important job qualification.

  3. DNW: When I was in college, Chapel Hill undergrad enrollment was capped at 18% out-of-state enrollees. Getting in from outside NC was very academically challenging, Ivy League or Duke level. I’ve been gone from Chapel Hill for a long time, and I don’t know if that’s still the percentage, but I’d be surprised if it’s changed – North Carolinians that I know (and your’s truly included) liked it that way. Maybe Kate knows the present requirements.

  4. Btw, a shout out to those frat boys who stood for the flag. And to the university president who ran the flag back up the pole and told the Jew-hating marxists that wouldn’t play at his school. Go Heels!

  5. You can’t capitulate to your own side. What these administrators are doing, is like when an environmentalist group sues the EPA and the EPA doesn’t defend the suit because the outcome fits the policy the President already wanted to follow.

    These administrators were already anti-Israel and pro-Hamas, and they have been given the pretext they desired to conform university policies to be anti-Israel and pro-Hama.

  6. Brown University is going the way of Northwestern, too. But I haven’t picked up on the details to confirm it, yet.

  7. Niketas Choniates:

    Yes.

    I believe there are also collusive lawsuits where the parties end up settling – and what they “settle” for is what both wanted in the first place. They only pretend to be adversaries.

  8. “Students have been taught that the right has no say in the matter and that it’s all about power anyway.”

    “So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire…by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.” George Orwell

    The left is blindly courting a terrible reckoning.

  9. Geoffrey Britain:

    I saw a post at Instapundit that referred to it as the Barbie Intifada. Seems about right to me.

  10. Rutgers has a department of African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian Languages and Literatures.

  11. Catherine’s “infantada” is a nice coinage!

    Consistent with that, my guess is that most of these student snowflakes have no idea what divestment amounts to: You have to sell your stock holdings of the “culprit” companies in the open market, to somebody else. To first order, this doesn’t affect the company at all.

    (To second order, it could hamper the company a bit if lots of shares are offered for sale at a time when the company is trying to raise new capital in the market by selling new shares.)

  12. However, my alma mater, New College in Sarasota, has been set DEI free by DeSantis and Chris Rufo!

    I can’t say my New College friends are enthralled.

  13. Miguel Cervantes:

    Yep the Brandon junta invited anti-semites to participate in an Anti-semitism meeting, because Israel is a colonizing apartheid state to JINOs (Jews In Name Only) whose actual religion is leftism (or Marxism?). (FJB, detestation x 11)

  14. Catherine:

    These Infants must have been dropped on their heads while still innocent. That wasn’t a long time ago, but to the self absorbed the world began with their arrival in it.

  15. The only good thing about the present unpleasantness is that it has resulted in several good good Neologisms.
    Already noted are Barbie intifada, and infantada.
    I also saw Jewicide today, referring to the Jewish Voice for Peace and similar fools.

  16. Paul Nachman:

    As John Silber of Boston University tried to explain to an earlier generation of students:

    BU was sponsoring a program to provide scholarships to black South African students, and Silber saw calls for divestiture as a form of virtue signaling. In a private meeting with protestors who demanded BU divest from General Motors and IBM, he asked, “[w]hy should we do that? Is it immoral to own that stock?” When the students responded that it was, he said, “[s]o then, we’re supposed to sell it to somebody? We can’t divest unless we sell it to somebody….If we sell it to somebody, we have just gotten rid of our guilt in order to impose guilt on somebody else.”

  17. .

    Sounds like the lawsuit against Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 violations by Northwestern needs to be expanded to include Rutgers….

  18. Alex,
    Yes. As if, two hundred years ago, selling your slaves relieved you of guilt. Unless, I suppose, you gave the proceeds to an abolitionist group. Even then….

  19. Telemachus, UNC-Chapel Hill is still over 80% in-state.They have made preferences for some of the smaller counties, so students from the Raleigh-Durham area need to be absolutely at the top of their classes to get in. Out-of-state admissions are incredibly competitive. We were so pleased that both our daughters went there, where they got top-level degrees at a fraction of the cost of Duke, just up the road.

  20. Im surprised its taken this long for a satellite campus to be set up in bir zeit college of martyrs which is in the palestinian authority btw

    Birzeit plays a part in that legal drama i. Mentioned from richard north patterson
