Berkeley finally admits it might have a problem:

Of the 290 people who answered the survey question, 16 percent indicated that they think the criticisms are “invalid” and should not be acted upon. Fifteen percent said that while “some criticisms may be valid,” no action should be taken right now “because it would undermine university autonomy.” But nearly half of respondents — 47 percent — answered that some criticisms are “valid” and that action should be taken “deliberately through regular governance processes.” An additional 16 percent agreed that some criticisms are well-founded and think that “we should take action urgently.” .... The academy “decided some time ago, but with a big increase in energy and intensity in 2020, to use the accumulated authority and prestige of our institutions and disciplines to advance ideologically driven political agendas, and we told the lie to others (and often to ourselves) that that wasn’t what we were doing,” one faculty member wrote... Put a bit blunter, by another faculty member: “Universities are under attack (often by idiots), but they deserve it and should get their houses in order.”

It's well past time to listen to the "idiots..."
