What are they protesting? Is someone with opposing views supposed to give a talk that students are in no way required to attend? Since that kinda stuff sets off the snowflakes.
I like how in your world, all university students or just anyone 25 and under is a 'snowflake'
Nice view of the world you got there bud
But no, there are strikes and protests going on in many UK universities right now due to a bunch of different reasons, e.g. universities suffering cutbacks and insufficient funding while the bosses and board members still get millions of pounds a year for doing naff all.
"The chief executive of the lecturers’ pension scheme at the centre of a university strike received a 17% pay rise worth an extra £82,000 this year.
Bill Galvin’s pay package had risen from £484,000 to £566,000, said a spokeswoman for the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS).
Running costs for the university pension scheme were over £124m per year - including two staff earning over £1m.
Mr Galvin has described the pension scheme as “excellent value”.
The pensions scheme now has a £6bn deficit and striking lecturers say that plans to tackle the shortfall will cut their retirement income by £10,000 per year."
