The pointless student “revolution” at NYU that Robert mentioned has come to an unceremonious end. The New York Daily News has the delightful details:

NYU did not “bend” to student demands, and the malcontents were banned from all NYU buildings until their expulsion hearings, Brown said.
The end became evident at 10 a.m. when four student negotiators went up to the sixth floor of the building to talk with NYU officials — and were ambushed by campus cops.
After that, cops tore down the barricades barring the entrance to the third-floor cafeteria and started evicting the Take Back NYU! Coalition protesters.
When they took over the cafeteria, the students’ stated cause was a demand for greater transparency in the NYU budget.
Then came talking points in which the protestors demanded scholarships for Palestinian students — and supplies for the Islamic University of Gaza.”

What a breath of fresh air: Childish madness met swiftly and decisively by adults.
