The closest thing I can think of is "you might not be supporting him on purpose, but he materially benefits from it regardless." Or, a squirrel that you hit with your car still dies, whether you hit it on purpose or on accident.

Is that because they are forcing kids to take lots of GenEd or for other reasons like many more administrators, deans, football coaches, etc than necessary?

Press conferences are easy when your goal is to create narrative chaos to obfuscate your evil policy goals and you feel no responsibility to tell the truth. What the fuck are we doing here people

I track everything I eat. I've been running regularly for about five years (20 miles this week). I am not "overweight." But, I still have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. I think "just eat healthy and exercise" is a dramatic oversimplification.

Am I the "institution" in this case? The only practical example I have is my day job running a public library. Whenever we have something to communicate, we create the minimum number of talking points and spread them as many different ways as we can think of - mail, email, social media, web, and...
