The problem is universities are run by highly neurotic people.
@jbarro Probably true but it seems like they may also be correctly reading the politics of their environment, i.e. reflecting the preferences of parents (and to a lesser extent faculty). Parents of students at elite colleges aren't exactly known for their lack of neuroticism.
@NateSilver538 oh yes, my concern is this aligns with customer preferences, not that it conflicts with them
@jbarro @NateSilver538 I think it also aligns with a more timeless preference among many parents for rules following as character building for kids even if the rules are stupid
@jbarro @NateSilver538 "But mom they won't let me see my friends!" Mom - "Boo hoo go do homework instead"
