Ah yes, good ol’ bureaucratic retribution for questioning the bureaucracy. If Harvard administrators give this student a harder time because of the piece they wrote, aren’t they proving the students point, to a certain extent?

Also, how would this be connected to conservative ideas? Theoretically, liberal ideas are the ideas that are critical of institutions. This all seems so backwards, no?

Liberals being critical of institutions hasn't been popular for a long time (1960s anti-war, pro-free speech, etc was long ago)... unless it's businesses. Government/schools are sacred cows.

The ideology has for a long time been pro-top-heavy administrative approach to running society. It's probably no mistake the most stereotypical liberal institution we have are the most top-heavy orgs in society.

Conservative is how I'd expect them to self-identify, and I capitalized it because that seemed more diplomatic than putting it in quotes.
