We booked a room for a chat with grads about tough hiring scenes. The school said no, fearing it would spread worry and cut the event. Do places of learning have a duty to hide hard truths from students?
I started putting little notes with happy quotes on library tables and bathroom mirrors. The campus office said it was not allowed because they did not approve the messages. Now students hide notes in books and under chairs as a joke. It turned into a quiet protest that is pretty funny to watch.
We were putting up flyers for a talk on banned books, and security removed them. It made students curious, so we ended up with a bigger crowd. Ever see that happen?
They said our event needed more 'approval' but never told us what rules we broke!
