While college students 'feel the Bern', university workers support Hillary.

Interestingly, according to a recent LawNewz.com analysis, employees at the nation’s ‘Top 10’ universities haven’t exactly jumped on the Bernie bandwagon. In fact, Hillary Clinton got a whopping 83% of all presidential campaign donations from professors, administrators, and employees. To note, so far, there have been no pro-Clinton chalk sightings. We will be sure to update accordingly.

2. Not everyone who works at a university is a professor or administrator

and many of those administrators you think have 'theirs' are not so well-paid as you think.

And of course you left out administrative assistants, accountants, purchasers, etc.

They're not exactly blue collar workers. Most college staff live in a bubble.

Sounds like some feel they're just entitled to it. Those slimy college professors. Oligarchs every one.

I wa mistaken. Colleges hire anyone off the streets to teach classes. No degree required, advanced or otherwise.

Yeah, I remember my first beer too, kid.

3. Is their a percentage of employees or is it like 15% of the top 10 university Professors/faculty?

I guess I'm not exactly shocked

But when some people lose their shit over Hillary's support for WORK-study programs, then, yeah, it does look like a sense of entitlement.

"narcissistic" "lazy" "Unemployed "they just want free stuff" All these things are falsehoods. Also I feel this thread just projects these stigmas and adds fuel to the young people's fire.
