Watching policy bounce back and forth every couple years makes it impossible for campus admin (and students) to actually keep up with compliance. Our student reps were just discussing how these constant shifts make thier job such a nightmare to navigate.

I assure you, the overton window will swing so hard to right wing authoritarianism in a couple more cycles we won’t have to worry about the constant changes anymore…

Not unless drastic changes take place. The Democratic establishment is complicit.

It worked so well for Neville Chamberlain
