I can see this working out really well. “Dear President: It has cost me an arm and a leg to send my kid to your school. Now I find that our life savings have been squandered on intellectual nightsoil of the kind proffered by ‘Professor’ Venkatesan and that, as a bonus, my kid’s candid appraisal has dragged us into a baseless lawsuit seeking to appease the pride of a sorehead without the emotional maturity of a pre-K. My lawyer says this case is a joke but he’s the only one laughing, because it will take us at least five figures to get it dismissed. We didn’t sign up for a liberal arts experience in Thoughtcrime, abetted by an administration too clueless or spineless to prevent its employees from abusing the students entrusted to their care. Please forward my kid’s transcript to Podunk U, we’re done.”
