I don't get why people act surprised. Colleges are now private businesses, they only care about PR and image. They are not places for 'free speech' and all that nonsense anymore. They are factories producing a product.

true, and this situation is a PR mess now, no matter how they try to spin it. I'd be amazed if their profits don't take a hit this fall.

incoming students are now forced to face the knowledge of what these schools contribute to the war machine, and it's up to them to decide if they can have that on their conscience.

Perhaps people aren't surprised, and are merely upset instead.
