The Dark Power of Fraternities (2014)

7 days ago by schipelblorp to c/wildfeed

Old article about how colleges are controlled by massive assholes with a lot of money; something to consider when asking for "structural change."

I can't figure out how to find this on archive.org, but feel free to link in the comments.

A catch-all world journalism community for news, reports, blogs, editorials, and whatever.

  • Be cool to each other. Instance rules apply.

  • All posts should link to a *current, *good quality blog, article, editorial, listicle, research paper, or something that can be considered "journalism."

  • Post title should be the article headline.

  • This instance has no rules against calls to violence, please don't report general wishes for violence. I will moderate direct implications of violence (i.e. I will shoot x person in the head) at my discretion.

Tag if needed:

[NSFW] and [Content Warning - x] — At your discretion.
