Sorry, I know this is such a complete hijack ...
Absolutely right.

Plus, the students there are often middle or lower class and trying to move up. They will do whatever the university tells them to get a degree and move forward. They don't have the luxury of protesting and finding another school.

This recently happened at my alma mater and to make a long story short, the students ended up having to cave to the school, even though their charges were unadulterated bullshit and they violated the students' rights about a jillion times over. These are guys who have to work to stay in school, whose parents sacrifice a lot for them to get a degree. In a situation like that your idealism of fighting for your cause pretty much goes out the window and practicality takes over.
