> Why do the students and benefactors push this view? Because they are taught thus by professors, closing the circle? Your reasoning applied to the 1960s would say that students only opposed the Vietnam War because their professors told them to. You should ascribe more agency to university students. Much more likely that their professors just taught them biology and how to operate lab equipment. Graduate students especially are incentivized to come up with new ways of seeing the world. That’s what writing a dissertation is all about. This is the same mindset carried over from biology to a social issue normally seen as unrelated. Edit: Those who are downvoting without replying, have you been to grad school, or are you just imagining what professors spend their time telling their students?
