Been happening for at least 40 years. The worst offenders are not even the Administration. You get some leftist professor, who wrote the book required for his class, and if you dare question even mildly, you fail.
Then there are the empty vessels. At college doing some waste of space course because it is expected of them and they spend their time hassling people trying to study, burnishing their "compassionate" credentials at the expense of the people who wish to learn.
They are rather unwise taking on Engineering students though. The majority of those have a very low tolerance for PC BS.
