The protests are a small part of it. It's been building for decades.
Protests are fine from either side. When I went there in the early 2000s, it was almost exclusively liberal causes, but they had some respect in how they went about it. Now it's everywhere. It's definitely a pervasive thing on most campuses, except for Liberty and Oral Roberts.
Kate Starboard, the lying Covid 1984 studies, pressuring professors to go along with ridiculous, leftist, virtue signaling proclamations…the list is deep. I'm not a right winger, you can ask the Tug addicts. TITTT but I didn't start the thread.
