My spouse was worried when I left after work to go get the college kid last month, but driving on a deserted interstate in the middle of the night? The best.

Not particularly surprised to see Penn State Wilkes-Barre on the list. Every time I drove by 15 years ago I wondered who went there. And it sounded like a no win scenario for faculty. They were essentially teaching at a PUI and being judged by state school standards for tenure.

The majority of disruptions I experienced or knew of were based in a consumer model. A neoliberal(?) critique that professors were not providing sufficient value for what students were paying for. When my friend visited at Reed, student disrupted by claiming she wasn’t qualified to teach the class.
