26. This is so infuriating.

The biased framing by the interviewer, the lead-in, the utter cluelessness on the part of this student that she is not the victim here....

I noticed that George Mason University also used the lame "both sides" approach in response to "doxxing."

(IMO it's not doxxing if you're recorded doing something hateful and you actually perform for the recording, as the student at George Mason did. When you theatrically tear up a flyer, show disdain and contempt with your body language and words, all while knowingly being recorded, it's not doxxing when people get angry with you. Didn't we learn this in kindergarten? WTH?)

Edited to add: the interviewer says she's "barred" from off-campus housing, but it turns out that NYU simply declined to cover off-campus housing, since she chose to move out of her dorm. Declining to pay for something isn't "barring" her. She goes on to say that NYU is denying her access to higher education - because she violated the terms of her scholarship and lost it! Her sense of entitlement is breathtaking. And the dweeb interviewing her is enabling it all and feeding her sense of grievance.
