In what way has an unwillingness to leave campus new? I ranted about it for fifteen years. OK, more like a decade ending five years ago when it became clear that it was a long lost cause.
And the touchy feely thing? It's been a more-or-less continuous complaint from Feldings for at least a decade in my experience. It's a direct result of the "lack of gateway" problem. When someone has to learn the ropes by immersion, they have no way to tell if putting up with jerks coming on to them is part of the culture or not. Welcome to the problems of implicit acculturation.
