@gratefulalum I’m not convinced the decline in application numbers and enrollment at Oberlin can be attributed to the protests and signs. There were just as many signs and protests at Barnard College, and the protests at Columbia University have been long running. Barnard’s administration has also openly opposed Trump on many of his policies. Yet Barnard’s ED application broke records again, its admission rate fell to the lowest in history, and its yield increased. The same goes for many East Coast schools.
