[readingsquotes]

"Students and alumni who spoke to New York Focus describe Fordham’s environment as repressive, one that stifles activist organizing and discourages dissent. As more colleges deploy armed police on their students and ban politically motivated organizations, Fordham offers an example of a school where a chilling effect has set in for years — and is gradually being overcome.

....Like its neighboring institutions in New York City, Fordham has led its recent crackdowns with the local government on its side.

..“I think one of the reasons that we’re seeing relatively delayed support at Fordham is because Fordham ranks lowest in terms of free speech among colleges and universities in the country. And there’s been a real chilling effect as a result,” said the faculty member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional reprisal. “So now the students are mobilized, and I think that they’re frustrated and wanting to see something happen.”

Fordham has regularly landed among the bottom 10 in campus free speech rankings across the country, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a free speech advocacy organization that inserts itself into a range of campus debates

...“We’re taught social justice in our classes, but then when we do gather and protest peacefully, they’re against it,” Paulina said. Fordham students are required to take classes on “faith and critical reason.”

Silly Barisi Headcanon:

[Rafael and Sonny are in the office. Rafael has a musicals Spotify playlist on shuffle. "Die Vampire, Die" from [title of show] comes on. Rafael is singing along a lot more than he has been the past couple of songs.]

Song: 🎶First up, are you pigmy vampires. They’ll swarm around your head like gnats and say things like: "Your teeth need whitening." "You went to state school?" "You sound weird." "Shakespeare, Sondheim, Sedaris" did it before you and better than you!

Sonny (a minute or so later): *(lightheartedly)* You're my pigmy vampire.

Rafael: *(lifts his head and directs a questioning stare at him)* ...how?

Sonny: You always make jabs about Fordham. *(gestures to his study materials)*

Rafael: *(gives him a stare that's equal parts unamused, confused, and offended)* Yes, jabs. "Pigmy vampires" are malicious. They want you to doubt yourself or quit.

[Sonny doesn't answer, just nods and shrugs in acceptance of this correction. Rafael just inadvertently said he believes in him.]

Trump Weird News - Trump Not First At Wharton

First Went To Fordham

Did Not Graduate "First In Class" Or With Any Honors

One Professor Ranked Him "Dumbest In Class"

According to The Daily Pennsylvanian, the student newspaper, a published list of 56 students who were on the Wharton’s Dean List, representing the top 15% of the class, failed to include Trump. A 1968 Commencement Program also showed that Trump failed to graduate with any honors, despite his previous claim that he was first in his graduating class. "Donald Trump has a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. The Wharton School of Business is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, and has a well known and prestigious MBA program. Donald hopes that by claiming ‘degree from Wharton’ people will assume he means ‘yes, I attended Wharton, and graduated with an MBA’. That’s simply not true. In some versions of the story, he says ‘graduated Magna cum Laude from Wharton, and that’s even easier to refute, as the lists of honor graduates are published, and his name has NEVER appeared on them."

(But Did He "Cum Loudly"?)
