A lot of really famous universities have SUPER fucked up histories. Wait until you read about how many of them resisted a lot of social justice movements like admitting coloured people or women, not that long ago (and even if they've always said they're inclusive, the admission demographic stats throughout their history speaks for itself). A lot of white supremicist professors in the past too that have been quietly swept under the rug.

Most famous universities in the west are famous because they're social institutions of the capitalist class, they're pipelines into upper management positions in big companies or federal political office. Of course they're up to horrible shit.
