I agree, but you know as well as I do that this will not happen…
No court in Current Year will prosecute that. They know that a literal mob can just be called up in response…
Which is to say, should this happen (giving their money back)..? Absolutely yes.
Will it happen? I very, very much doubt it.
I’ve dealt with enough university administration parasites in my own place to know that they do not readily give things back, including and especially money…
Because in general, again from experience, when someone in a position of relative “power” knows that they don’t have to do something, they simply won’t do it, until and unless they are made to…
Yeah, they basically think they are the government. It's annoying. My parents live near a university, and the strange bubble between the town and it are weird. The locals and students don't meet together or even go to the same bar. Also, the local deer population knows how to cross the street better than the students.
But it was also very much a working class port town (things in Australia don’t always work the way they do in the US, remember).
So imagine that, but on steroids…
10% of the population (including me, briefly, before reality kicked me in the teeth) largely looking down on the other nearly 90%…
We hardly interacted with “the locals”, while living on campus. I’m sure it was probably different for the girls, but on a night out, I hung out with the other students, and my friends were nearly all other students/staff/had something to do with the Uni…
Not sustainable, and not good. As I have repeatedly mentioned, I lost it all…
This is why socialism makes sense to them. Their entire world is that bubble and they can't see the garbageman or any worker. So they're perfect world is kept in a bubble that is supported by people they can't see. The world they live in has central control and everything is provided. Why doesn't anyone else want this?
I would make the same demand. If you don't want me, then you don't want my money.

That’s my 20c, anyway.

I lived in a “University town”, too, for a while…

So yeah, I get that. I really do.
