There's a thread on this already: https://thecardboard.org/board/showthrea...ight=hates
I understand from various sources posted in the thread above that students have some legitimate gripes about the campaign against fun. I do have some concerns about the tight monitoring of student organizations. Nevertheless, the article linked above reads like a rant against every decision the administration has made, imputing absurd motives to the campus administrators. This gem exemplifies the writing style: "Driven by a fear of uncontrollable student spontaneity and a desire to enforce equity on campus, a growing administrative bureaucracy has destroyed almost all of Stanford’s distinctive student culture." And not all the changes on campus are bad. For example, the nostalgia for the 80s seems misplaced, especially with quotes like this: "When I asked Zach to describe the campus social life in the eighties, he laughed. 'What kind of drugs do you want to hear about?'"

When I registered here in 2014, TrumpCard seemed like an apolitical user ID...
