… Maybe the booster money will stop coming in as they realize that this was an institution-wide decision to harm children.
And maybe, just maybe, the enormous sum of payments due to be paid out in civil lawsuits, in a state already struggling with a budget deficit, will be too deep for the university’s pockets, forcing the university into bankruptcy.”
