I remember reading that one of the student leaders at Berkeley in the '60s went into a funk when the University met all his demands. It put him out of a job.

There are a lot of shallow people out there. Having grown up in Berkeley during a very turbulent time when so much was happening on the Left, it was indeed peculiar to see the Right steal the script.
That, and I made several long-term friends who I've been very happy to know these past 50 years. One of those classes--I got grounded in environmental science by John Holdren, who later became Pres O's Science Advisor. Very important stuff I learned, including about global warming, back in the winter or spring quarter of 1975.
I recently was looking over a long project paper I'd done in a class given by Arlie Hochschild, and I was very impressed with what I'd written. Another terrific and inspiring teacher--who I think is still teaching, although she's probably pushing 80. I saw her give a book talk five years ago, and talked to her after. I had some great teachers!

Reason for his existence just swept away. A human tragedy that someone was so shallow

And steal it they did
I'm laughing. Sheesh! I'm glad I got to Berkeley after the performative protests were over--nothing to distract me from my very interesting classes.
The very interesting classes are what made it worthwhile.
