It's ironic isn't it? They are freaking students at a college and between their noggins they can't get their shit together to figure it out. They have to do a sit in to demand someone else do it for them. That's so rich...

Yep. They not only can't find a worthy cause, they are admitting they are too stupid to even manage the poor cause they make. ...

Oh, get over yourselves. I'll bet the full OSU budget is a good 1,000 pages. Neither of you would have a clue where to begin either.

Read the article again. Those idiots are NOT the typical lunch counter sit-in protesters. Reading comprehension skill is good to have.

Mabye "I an't know nuthing"as you claimed but I do not like wimp out wannabe criminals. If they feel so strong about their cause(s), then why would not dare to go to jail/be expel for their cause(s)? LOL. All talk, zero action.

Oh, at least I know how to spell better than you. Those that live in the glass house shall not cast the first stone. No race card pulled this time? I am shocked.

Understanding what YOU write is a good one for you to develop. I wasn't going off the article but your commentary.
 
Is 'special snowflake' the new phrase for 'pussy', ie whoever uses it feels harder when flexing in the mirror? Just askin'.

Lol, yes it is. What is funny about that term is that is exactly what the boomers taught millennials in the 80s and 90s and now they used it against them... How soon they forget that millennials were not created in a vacuum, but are a direct mirror of their teachings...

So, I'm for more transparency in college budgets. The rate at which tuition is increasing is insane and being open with the reason the costs are so high would be interesting. I remember going to the student chamber meetings when I was in college and the number of idiotic money wasting measures that slipped into the budget were insane. Constant fee increases for pet projects and wasteful spending. I remember one that was thankfully not passed as a "floral fee." So they could collect 250k to plant flowers around campus...
 
LOL@ liberals once again!

it's an almost constant state of manufactured outrage from the left. And each made up 'issue' just gets sillier and stupider than the last.

And then it's "How dare anyone laugh at us and our manufactured outrage! Waahhh you're oppressing me!"

As I said, learn to read. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. 😀

So, what you're saying is you've wasted your mind because you continue to attribute a quote to Mark Twain that he never made. Gotcha.

I don't care who said those words. My assertion still stands. Learn to read the story before jump in a discussion.

Incorrect. OSU is a state university, a part of Ohio's state government. Taxpayers have every right to see their governments' budgets, and it's a sure bet that a whole lot of OSU students pay taxes to Ohio. That said, OSU does have a budget posted on-line, though it is a summary. I imagine the kids are looking for all the gory details.

Taxpayers have a right to see the budget, and the state has many laws detailing what information the school has to disclose. If there is information they must disclose that they are not, then by all means go to court to get the information. Demanding access to information that the school is not obligated to share is stupid. Demanding it by illegally occupying administrative buildings? Not acceptable.
 
Really glad to see my alma mater handle the situation correctly. Get out or get arrested and expelled from school.

You can demand whatever you want, but you don't have the right to occupy property you don't own to do so, nor do you have a right to prevent others from getting the education they are paying for.

It's not a new phrase for "pussy". People are usually called a pussy for being soft, weak or cowardly in some way. Special Snowflake is actually a very good and fitting description for the products of a generation of telling people they are unique and special, that their needs are more important than those of others, and that their feelings are more important than facts or logic.

state employee salaries are also public information.

Given that salaries are public and the fairly detailed 69 page budget report it would be better for them to look at the existing information and then formulate specifics from that.

https://controller.osu.edu/acc/2015_fin_rpt.pdf

They won't ever get access to the full budget anyway. Not only would it weaken bargaining positions for the University there are almost certainly grants\funds\contracts specifying that details of the agreements (including financial) cannot be made public.

I'm not saying they are exactly comparable but it does make me wonder if they will expect the same level of disclosure if they work for private firms
