| [IsraelTimes] Data suggests that Gaza war protests and encampments have not been seen as much at less exclusive US colleges with more lower-income students A study published Friday suggests that pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel protests and encampments are more prevalent in elite and exclusive universities than in institutions that cater to lower-income students. The study by Washington Monthly set out to discover whether the protests against the war in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... that swept across US college campuses in the last seven months were exclusive to elite colleges. Using data from Harvard’s Crowd Counting Consortium, which tracks protests across the US, and news reports of protests and encampments at colleges, Washington Monthly discovered that in the majority of cases, less exclusive colleges that had a greater number of students with the Pell Grant for moderate- and low-income students did not have protests on their campuses. The data was presented in scatter plots, but the universities in the graphs were not labeled. The graphs only showed whether or not colleges had protests or encampments on their campuses but did not specify what percentage of students participated in them. The results showed that barring a few outliers, the majority of colleges that had protests or encampments were colleges where less than 40% of students were Pell Grant receivers, while colleges where 40%-60% were Pell Grant students had more protests than encampments. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed his guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread... the data showed that for the most part, the less exclusive colleges with more Pell Grant students did not have either protests or encampments on their campuses in the last seven months. Among private universities, the data clearly showed that the vast majority of encampments were set up at universities with the highest tuitions and the lowest percentages of Pell Grant students. Some private colleges with moderate tuition rates where up to 60% of students were Pell Grant receivers did have protests, but the colleges with lower tuition and more Pell students didn’t have either encampments or demonstrations. The trend was far less obvious among public colleges, where encampments and protests were spread more widely across the spectrum than in private institutions. Still, those with the lowest tuitions and the most Pell Grant students had neither encampments nor protests. Speculating on the explanation for the results, Washington Monthly noted that students from lower-income families could have more pressing responsibilities like jobs or relatives to take care of. The publication also suggested that there could be a political explanation as students in more conservative colleges could feel under more pressure not to protest. And burying the lede: However,we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... despite the apparent prominence of the protests, a Generation Lab poll published by Axios earlier this month found that only a small minority (8%) of students across the US had participated in the demonstrations, and 81% supported holding them accountable for physical damage they wrought or rules they broke. In fact, the situation in the Middle East was rated only ninth most important to students, after issues that more directly affected them like healthcare, educational funding, and gun control. |
