A lot of the official liberal arts college education goes into understanding the perspectives of others, with a bias to people in power and their power structures. While not an explicit thing they are teaching you, college is teaching you how to understand power structures and the people within them.

If you have a better understanding of power structures, it becomes easier to push said structures to achieve your own goals since you can speak to power structures in their language instead of your own in order to get what you want.

Also, a lot of the clubs and other extra-curricular activities are designed to create small power bases to practice these techniques on.

It is a lot easier to get what you want when you can speak on other people's terms.

I've seen both.

At a certain point, you need to be force which pushes you forward. I saw a lot of intelligent people fail because they no longer had the external stimulus to go to class.

Also, it is easier to manipulate people in positions of power, but you have to understand how they think and are rewarded. There is a reason why a lot of liberal arts education is focused on having people understand others.

Also, the liberal arts education of a century ago was basically a degree which was intended to make managers. Along with it, the extra-curricular activities were an important part of the education, but just what happened in class.

I've taken junior level college classes that relied on concepts taught from freshman year without any class in-between reinforcing that knowledge. Hell, I've had college courses continue concepts that were last taught to me in middle school.

I feel like part of the problem is that students demand full understanding as to why they need to know a specific something immediately while having little context as to why this may be important. There are also cases where it may be important to some students in the class, but the school doesn't know which students yet because those students aren't there.

Some people use kindness as deception.

I also feel like a lot of students don't know how to set goals for studying. For instance studying for math may be solving x problems in y time, which roughly mimics test time. If you can't do that, time to reach out for help rather than spinning wheels.

Outside of France, it feels like the EU isn't ready to cut itself off from the US when it comes to defense policy. Western European powers seemed to love the peace dividend and Eaten European powers are concerned that a non-US NATO will defend their countries.

Germany may be leading this, but France has been trying to offer an alternative and the rest of the Union seems to be siding with American defense.

You also have the USA still guaranteeing European security while Russia has been more militarily active.

People like to focus on Germany alone, but the EU is still a federal entity that needs buy-in from several nations.

Some people have bad experiences where they lost trust in people and therefore treat the lack of trust as experience. That if you aren't as paranoid as they are, you don't know as much as they do.

Also, some people are bad to work with or are mediocre at their jobs, especially at communication. This is how they cover for themselves. It isn't their fault that they messed up, you didn't tell them something that they should have realized they should have asked but it is easier just to blame you.

Most private universities provide significant aid to students; they actively engage in price discrimination.

Out of state tuition earns more than in-state, but there are additional fees that foreign students pay.

As for the money, it goes into a lot of the facilities and university operations. Universities are big clout chasers, so they will try to spend money to increase prestige.

I feel like a lot of people were more prudish back then. What he did didn't harm anyone.

That is what happens when you get cancelled. It just happened to be that this was one person doing all the work rather than it getting distributed across the fan base.
