universities dont bother to expel them because many are the rabid freshmen who dont come back after christmas break or 2nd year. they milk them for tuition then let them fail out on their own.
i cant imagine college has changed enough that the violent protesters are honor role students. we had plenty of vapid moralizers when i was in school and they were all C- posers who didnt belong in school.
The bar has been lowered significantly. Kind of a tangent but I got an email advertisement for a state school for a bachelors in conflict resolution. I was like, wtf? They'll slap anything on and call it a degree just to get state/fed funding. It's legit a business with no fiduciary responsibility that the product you are selling these kids will actually yield a profession.
Another way to solve this, which I think would be much healthier for society and our higher education is to get rid of certain degree programs or at the very least aggregate them/limit them to minors. There's just too much garbage peddled as education, which attracts more loud mouth opinionated folks rather than kids earnestly looking to learn tangible skills.
