    Unless the person they're communicating interest in is going through a radfem phase.

    Then, even breathing the same air is "rape".

    To do more to remove extremists...

    Seriously. How many rape gangs, terror attacks, and all other manner of barbarity do people have to suffer through before these people who're incapable of living, civilly, in a first world nation are ejected (preferably from a helicopter)?

  7. Based on the idea that diverse teams are more effective, more creative or more productive, due to the value of a diversity of viewpoints, it's clear to me that the members of the team that bring said diverse viewpoints provide additional value above and beyond their competence.

    Ever heard the term "Too many cooks spoil the soup?"

    Yes, in some cases, "unleashing the team's creativity" can be useful.
    But, at other times, they just need to put their heads down and bang out the work they're being asked to bang out.

    Does this mean something "great" could be missed? Sure.
    How much would you miss eating if the team doesn't deliver (because they're so busy being "creative" that they never actually finish a damn project) and everyone is canned?

    Bull-shit!

    You make ANYONE afraid long enough, ESPECIALLY for an unjustified reason, you're going to, eventually, get blowback.

    And, seeing as we're talking about multiple groups of people who seem to have a hard time separating fact and reason from emotion and anger, that blowback is going to be FUGLY.

    Sorry, I don't find passive-aggressive snark-mavens such as yourself to be civilized OR intelligent. It's just a lie you tell yourself to feed into your superiority complex.

    A) Tomato, Tomato. It's basically the equivalent of driving from the south side of Chicago to the north side. Pfft. And considering that, north to south, Cali is almost TWICE the length of Illinois and roughly the same width... Let's just agree that your idea of "near" and mine are different...

    B) Californians come in 4 varieties.

    * 4) People who're moving in because they don't understand "CRAZIES!"

    It's especially bad around college towns. They're hotbeds of communal brain rot.

    C) But only so long as they have an endless supply of cheap, illegal labor. Having to actually pay going labor rates instead of paying pennies? OHNOEZ!

    Of course it is.

    It's a bastion of reactionary, authoritarian Leftism plonked right down in the middle of one of the furthest left-leaning cities in a state that's practically deranged by how far left it leans.

    (These people think if they subvert local government, they can completely exempt themselves from federal laws whenever they want. Oh, and they want to secede because the rest of the country isn't as nuts as they are.)

    Sorry, but that's bull.

    While taxes on property have gone up some, and salaries have inched upward over time, general day-to-day costs for facilities haven't dramatically increased.
    Regulatory compliance is a giant slap in the face, but those costs ammortize out over time.
    Most of the rest of what you mention is fluff that has nothing to do with education and can be gotten by without, even if people "expect" it.
    It's there because the institution can afford to put it in, rather than telling entitled students "tough shit, you're here to get an EDUCATION".

    The underlying reason is the out of control college loan industry and the vast amount of capital they make available to colleges.
    Most of these places, if their tuition requirements were $24,000, and the government guarantees loans for $35,000, you think they're just going to just say "Nono! We just want our $24,000!"
