Augustana College in Illinois will host a daylong event on Jan. 16 during which students will learn about a variety of topics, from "microaggressions" to "privilege."
One opportunity students will have to learn about "privilege" involves them playing the classic board game Monopoly.

Are the college instructors going to explain their privilege, what with the tenure, life long healthcare and pensions?
As snooty private college are they going to demean the students about their own privilege, consider;
– Students accepted to Augustana typically rank in the top 20% of their high school classes.
– The middle 50 percent of enrolled students for the class of 2012 scored 26–30 on the ACT, well above the national averages.
– Augustana College is considered highly selective.
I think the students should drop their privilege and demand the college allow Honduran refugees to replace them in their classes and the privileged students can work at McDonalds in order to the tuition of the refugees.
Class dismissed.
Another college that has lost its way.
Don’t send your children there and if you are an alumni don’t give them any money and tell them why.
Realistically that is all you can do.
We all know that hypocrisy in Academia so rank that it’s stench has floated up to the top its Ivory Towers.
And yes, I know what I am talking about. I was a Professor at a state university myself.
