This is one of the most MUST READ articles I have ever posted.

So of course, it has already been hit by a censor downvoat immediately after posting. :D

Excerpt:

How political is the personal? Political scientist Adolph Reed argues that if class is left out, race politics on campus becomes “the politics of the left-wing of neoliberalism.” As he puts it, race-first politics of the sort being pushed today by university administrators promotes a “moral economy… in which 1% of the population controlled 90% of the resources could be just, provided that roughly 12% of the 1% were black, 12% were Latino, 50% were women, and whatever the appropriate proportions were LGBT people.”

hey i decided to have a read through it and glad i did. It's actually an article I posted 8 days ago from the source at tomdispatch:

The Battle for the Soul of American Higher Education - Student Protest, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the Rise of the Corporate University

Good read indeed :)
