Alisha-k-I will give universities the benefit of the doubt as soon as they officially and publicly acknowledge their sins and make an effort to improve. I doubt that this will happen any time soon.
In the US alone there are thousands of universities with 10's of millions of Students currently enrolled.
Have you considered the possibility that your personal experience with however many Universities and students don't reflect every one of the thousands of other Universities or millions of other students?
To me you seem like a smart guy that's experiencing paranoia, which is probably linked to some sort of mental issues. Not trying to insult you. Just letting you know what a random guy on the internet thinks about your claims. Hope I'm wrong and if I'm not, I hope you can find help.
Do you expect me to give academic institutions the benefit of the doubt after they have promoted violence against me and refuse to acknowledge any wrongdoing? I will do no such thing. The reason you say that I have mental issues is because you are a bloodthirsty monster who has absolutely no place in decent society. You just want me to get fucking murdered and you also want my dead body to be gangraped by people like Jeffrey Dahmer and Elon Musk (who murders monkeys).
If my experience does not reflect the experience of others, then that just means that academic institutions hate me and want to see me suffer. This is really bad. This is evil Nazism.
I have some news for you. You are just like the Nazis who were 'just following orders'. You are sheep. You cannot see when institutions are doing wrong. These academic institutions have already committed a lot of violence against me and you, and you have refused to acknowledge their evil.
I took out time to read all the comments here and I got to deduce that if I try to explain why your opinion on universities is a bit disjointed would be a complete waste of time and probably a repetition of words.
Someone mentioned that some students act violently as a result of treatment from the administration and whatnot and it got me wondering tho.. for one to quickly tag an act as violent would only mean the observer or recepient has some traces of violence or is prone to violence and as such may have warranted a rash behavior from the students.
I will not entirely paint universities as good and a model citadel for knowledge and uprightness alone, else were will all these fraternities emanate from, right? But then it would be outright unfair to tag all universities as promoters of violence, op.
If there are universities that do not promote violence, then they need to condemn and publicly blacklist the institutions that do promote violence. But the 'good' institutions will not do this because the 'good' institutions promote violence too.
