Should the dust-up over anti-Chinese Communist Party stickers (including the suspension of the Emerson Turning Point USA chapter) be mentioned, or is it too transient? https://www.newsweek.com/china-ccp-hate-college-free-speech-1800262, https://www.nationalreview.com/news/fire-launches-ad-campaign-calling-out-emerson-for-suspending-student-group-over-alleged-bigotry-against-china/, https://news.yahoo.com/emerson-college-targeted-ad-campaign-191440091.html, https://berkeleybeacon.com/turning-point-event-sparks-sinophobia-controversy-on-campus/, (https://www.nationalreview.com/news/college-that-suspended-conservative-group-over-anti-china-stickers-promotes-professor-who-writes-racially-divisive-columns/ - mostly on the promotion of a professor with controversial racial views after the piece starts off about the suspension), https://reason.com/volokh/2021/11/12/emerson-college-conduct-board-finds-china-kinda-sus-stickers-to-be-forbidden-discriminatory-conduct/ , https://wng.org/roundups/censorship-on-campus-is-kinda-sus-1633979226 . 164.47.179.32 (talk) 20:52, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Falling enrollment and budget cutbacks

Someone should add a paragraph (or so) on the falling enrollment and budget cutbacks, which have been widely covered in the press:
