to be clear: those violent students were morons. don't wreck your shit. but UC Berkeley is a wonderful institution that deserves funding.

WOW my mentions are insane rn. apparently a lot of people are comfortable throwing away public education.

"education"

UC Berkeley is one of the finest research institutions in the world. On most other days, Americans should be proud of it.

and on the days they do things not so praise worthy, we shouldn't help cover it up by undermining efforts to criticize them

go ahead and criticize. but don't cut funding -- cutting funding destroys the whole university!

Jail. Jail is where we put violent people.

Wow! So you are for violence and anarchy? So we should all just go out & destroy every city & beat people we don't like?

and what will be left of america if our public universities are de-funded?

Pretty sure he was just making a point. If you allow people to break the law....maybe America doesn't want to pay for your school

I take what the president says seriously. If he threatens to de-fund a top public university, that is very concerning to me.

so you're perfectly fine with using violence to suppress speech you don't agree with? Those actions make you want to donate?

No, but threats to dismantle the whole university DO make me want to donate. Punish the people involved, not a whole generation.

I'd argue that an institution that doesn't support the right to have bi partisan ideas doesn't deserve bi partisan tax dollars

Unlike all the stupid shit that's been tweeted at me- this is a good point. The university shouldn't censor.

you mean the research institution that has one of the finest computer science programs? we alums build the tech you use.
