No, you’re absolutely right. Amherst exists for a completely different utility than any public university. It’s ironic how much of the “academic freedom” discussion on campus, much like the “mental health” discussion we’ve seen in the past 5 years, has led to so many of these sorts of haughty backgrounds now making their mental illness their identity or making their purported “freedom” yet another reason to love the Amherst brand.
