No, totalitarianism is now a concern because


Universities have undergone massive changes over the last decade or so. Is that even a contested point? The numerous examples - which we hear about every day - are (among others):

: Ratio's of students to Administrators has crashed - down as low as 1:1 in many universities versus 15:1 historically. According to one of Maher's guests, Administrators at Yale are more numerous than faculty. In what world is this a healthy development?
: The Introduction of Diversity and Inclusion Surveys to drive admittance and effectively changed the culture of college campuses - for the worse.
: Related...rampant discrimination in college admissions against better qualified non-minorty students, as evidenced in the recent California ruling but obvious to anybody who has children. Especially white children.
: Penalization of students who do not follow the bat-shit crazy narratives of may of these schools, including having acceptances withdrawn, suspensions enacted, etc.
: Surpresssion of types free speach on campus - there are like a million examples that pre-dated this recent crisis. Surely you can not think it healthy to have a University ban the appearance of an Appellate Court judge, do you?

It is hard to have a serious conversation with somebody who does not acknowledge the sweeping changes that has taken place at American universities over the last decade. And for those that do acknowledge it, I find it hard to comprehend that they would not be concerned.
