I can think of a few ways to look at the Ivy protests off the top of my head... first is that this generation born after 9/11 has seen nothing but American decline. They have known for their entire lives that the government does not give a shit about them. School shootings and lead in Lunchables are just two examples. They were in high school during the chaos of the Trump years. They have no faith whatsoever in any institutions, and I don't blame them. They are the most disaffected generation, and it is entirely our fault. So channeling their fear, rage, and hopelessness into protesting is not at all surprising.
Second, the administrations at these luxury government funded companies should all be sacked for gross incompetence and/or negligence. These protests are the perfect example of bloated, useless, swampy university administrations writ large.
