Timur is right. The reason why universities lost legitimacy so quickly after 2015 is that they embraced identitarianism, which is offensive to the great majority of Americans who believe in equal rights, equal opportunity, and e pluribus unum.
American universities lost their way when they started treating people as members of morally ranked identity groups. They will keep shocking the nation and continue losing legitimacy until they return to treating students and faculty as individuals enjoying equal rights.

In 2018 I complained that no critics had said why
@glukianoff
and I were wrong, only why we were bad people. I wanted counterarguments. We still have not gotten any.
