It's actually a straw man argument, unless you show that the reasoning I laid out implies that universities will be destroyed. That's probably going to get you fighting down a slippery slope, so I'm not too confident you'll show it to be the case :) Corporate lawyers don't need to know about rape law, for example. I am neither a law student nor a law professor. It's not my lot to tell them how to hash out their conflicts. I think they can come to an agreement that accommodates everyone; for example, exemptions from class for the period where rape law is discussed. I think universities will survive if they treat their students as worth negotiating with rather than griping in public about how childish their students are. I went to university. I know how condescending professors can be. I think it's reasonable to infer that this recent spate of public griping stems from anxiety, because authority that is challenged always feels anxious.
