What is the obsession with college campuses and what happens on them? I feel like there is a circuit of people obsessed with producing content claiming that random campus scandals say something about society at large.



It's a perennial bone of contention because people who have a good experience in college want it to stay the same for everyone, and people who have a bad experience want to burn it down. Makes for good clickbait and everyone loves to see some b roll footage of greek letters on local news.

The people who organize the scandalized behavior used to be the ones that went on to the leadership roles of society and normalized that sort of conduct in their companies.

So yes, tackling the problem on the root was necessary, and we will see the fruits of that over the next decades as the "old guard" retires and workplaces will become at least somewhat better as a result.
