...Apparently pretty bad. The University's been taking such extreme measures as eliminating the January Experience and acknowledging the possibility of layoffs. But forget about all that. The real sign of the apocalypse? Opening the doors of the exclusive Faculty Club to the riffraff ordinary students.

Typically defended by the weak retort “sex sells,” these endeavors have prompted critics to brand veganism as a sexist ideology—a damaging charge given veganism’s place within a broader progressive program. PETA has unapologetically commandeered the female body...
