Comment on Building the Protest-Free University by helenaworthen

Achieving this long-term goal requires exactly what we are witnessing now: building the protest-free university.
But the protest-free university is not built solely on surveillance, repressive rules, and police violence.
In the protest-free university, even as most students are taught by underpaid adjuncts, millions of dollars are spent on lavish recreational facilities, celebrity sports programs, and new sports venues.
It depends on how much dissent administrators fear and the anticipated costs of letting dissent occur.
All obvious stuff, without which universities might soon be protest-free and far less able to challenge the systems of domination that ail us.
