This article–and thread–again? Perhaps someone will see this time why censuring this East Coast athletic conference (whether the claims are wrong or not is irrelevant to me) yet neglecting to critique every other college is stupid.
No. The OP will scurry away, and no one will learn anything. (As in Tolstoy’s novels, or Dante’s Inferno–no one learns, no one progresses, except for the observers of the spectacle.)
People will continue to pretend that their Carletons and Smiths are safe and far from the “atrocious decadence” that these eight schools embody.
Singling out the Ivy League schools as “corrupt,” or whatever, legitimates and continues the silly fixation on those schools. Someone should write an article on how schools with high PhD productivity are creating tonnes of dainty and heedless sheep who forget that the corruptions and corporate undertones of the Universities they decried as undergraduates still exist at the graduate level, or Reed’s and Sarah Lawrence’s “gaming” of college rankings.
