This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.

"Historians should make it more difficult for students or the larger public to naturalize inequalities of wealth and privilege, or romanticize the poor and oppressed, who, depending on the circumstances, could become the oppressors — these, alas, are not fixed categories."
