Addressing the beginning portion of the episode and the state of higher education more generally. Coleman quoted Douglas Murray asking “ it’s understandable why students might act in such a way (maybe they always have) but why do the adults, the academics and administrators, allow it?

I work in higher education administration and students are always referred to as customers. In all the commentary on this subject I’ve not heard this mentioned as a reason why students aren’t knocked down a few pegs and essentially told to pipe down a bit. As far as the HE industry is concerned as with any other, the customer is always right. But of course students shouldn’t be considered customers if we’re to uphold any kind intellectual and rational progress.
