FLABBY THINKING RULES

You can bet your bottom dollar that if this same thing were to happen:
"As previously reported by Campus Reform, the radical group has been an active promoter of anti-capitalist vandalism on campus, and has distributed pamphlets that urged students to destroy the property of right-leaning organizations." [Marissa gentry]
....to this 'organisation' or any other lefty lunatic org. they would be screaming to high heaven about the 'evil patriarchy', 'alt-right white privilege' 'racist overlords' etc.

Following Saul Alinsky's model these spoiled, over-sanitised, protected, ignorant, limp wristed 'revolutionaries' lust to win at any cost reflects nothing more than the 'will to power' made manifest and they have so intimidated (?) the flabby totalitarian administrators of the university system that it has become a "heads I win, tails you lose" proposition in favour of the radicals:
Over the past few decades, then, we have seen a massive normalization of bad ideas that were first promoted by identity programs such as Women’s Studies and Black Studies. This could not have been accomplished without academic institutions willingly, and by now enthusiastically, embracing what Lawrence Summers (and he should know) recently called academe’s “creeping totalitarianism.” Far from embracing free debate of challenging ideas and the free speech necessary to pursue them, university life today is characterized by policies governing every aspect of college life, in the classroom and out, and offices to enforce them.[Daphne Patai]

LOVE IS HATE

Problem is that the ideal of 'equal outcomes', is a fascist one. It can only be achieved by compelling others (by usually coercive means) to do as those in power say:
"Douglas Murray on utopian thinking and ineradicable vices:

To ‘destroy’ misogyny (or, for that matter, its opposite – misandry) you would have to arrive at a time when nobody of either sex… felt any need to seize on a secondary characteristic as a way to push their primary dislike. All divorces would have to go swimmingly. Men would pay alimony only with pleasure and enthusiasm. Conversely, any woman who caught their husband cheating would have to say: “Well that was just my husband: I wouldn’t want to express any conclusions about men in general.” Perhaps this is desirable. But achievable? Hardly. The trouble is some people – including some of the most powerful people on the planet – seem to believe otherwise." [D Thompson]
