Colleges that condone left wing violence are having funding pulled and are facing financial hardship

Some colleges are struggling after their implicit support of left wing violence. Colleges that won't promote free speech are seeing funding pulled.

Violence is coming from antifa group on campus. Now they control administrators and shut out competing ideas they disagree with or don’t like.    - Sterling Beard, editor of Campus Reform

Both the University of Missouri and Evergreen State College have been rocked by left-wing demonstrations, some of which administrators in both schools allowed. Now both have had to deal with falling enrollment and a decline in funding.

At Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., last year left-wing students called for a day for whites to stay off campus. But a professor -- well known as a progressive -- publicly criticized the move. The response was threats and physical intimidation by students. Administrators decided to suspend classes for several days. 

Now Evergreen State has experienced a decline in enrollment that has resulted in a $2.1 million budget shortfall, forcing the liberal arts school to announce layoffs.  

In 2015, the University of Missouri’s main campus, which is in Columbia, experienced escalating tensions over allegations of racism at the school – and protests became violent. School officials were widely criticized for not gaining control over the protests, which grew in size and tension, even resulting in some demonstrators lashing out at reporters who were trying to cover their message. Since then, freshman enrollment has plunged by 35 percent, and donations to the athletic department have dropped 72 percent over the year before, according to published reports.

The University of Missouri had to close seven dormitories and now plans to cut 400 jobs.

“The general consensus was that [declining enrollment] was because of the aftermath of what happened in November 2015,” the  New York Times  quoted Mun Choi, the new system president, as saying. 

When you stand by and say nothing, and do nothing, and don't stop violence from engulfing your campus, you can't expect people to send their children into that environment.

When you don't enforce a policy on your campus supporting freedom of speech for all points of view, and you allow a violent few to shut down speech they don't like, then don't expect on-going support of your school or your campus by the people that pay your salaries - your customers - your students and their parents.

The situation will return to normal in these universities, when they stop giving in to the wishes of a few snowflakes and stop allowing the violent Antifa to set campus policy.

We need to put adults with common sense in charge again.

Education is too important to trust to the left wing professors that control too much of academia.

The great thing about a free market, the market can speak.   The invisible hand will sweep in and shut down the institutions that are no longer providing value consistent with society preferences and needs.

That is how capitalism works.

Please upvote if you believe in capitalism.  As a system that will help to shut down Antifa violence and left wing extremism.

STEEM On!!
