I think you can be at least a little angry at donors. Maybe talented uni advancement people could persuade some donors to contribute to a "raise support staff salaries funds" but many have years of experience suggesting the big checks get written for fancy new athletic/medical/b-school facilities.

We just have to hope the social sciences and humanities arenβt completely killed off because we will need a few decades of reflection to unwind all of this.

I suggested that her behavior was at odds with her pursing a masters degree focused on studying and supporting cities, esp since Vienna has a very affordable student ticket. She didn't see it that way. She and Jen would be great buddies.

My favorite fare stealing story: I was a guest lecturer for an international urban studies program in Vienna, students from all over Europe with free tuition and a stipend. One of the students explained to me that she never paid transit fare, in a city where she was a guest, for....reasons.

The Inquirer (in its photo caption) is describing two guys who claim to be "inspired by ISIS" as "left-wing"? That is an interesting way to describe ISIS.

Buying a beer or flying on an airplane are not constitutionally guaranteed rights. Voting, if you are a citizen and at least 18 years old IS a constitutional right. The idea that all these things would, legitimately, be treated with similar gate-keeping rules is nonsense.
