@kims Good lord. That entire piece with Healy and Stephens mansplaining to an actual professor as if they know infinitely more than her. She is amazing. I loved this quote:

Cottom: I’m both a professor and someone who has studied higher education as a system. There are two things that overlap my professional experience and my expertise. One is how much we insist upon conflating a handful of elite colleges with all of “higher education,” when the vast majority of institutions are not particularly rich, elite or prestigious. The other is how much the beneficiaries of the small, powerful set of prestigious colleges and universities enjoy bashing the institutions they pay an arm and a leg to be affiliated with.
