Oh my lol. Most of the complaints in the article are ridiculous, the only one with any teeth is that "guards photographed naked women during the disinfection process and shared their photographs in bars."

In the original source this is a rumour, it's just something someone had heard happened. In the wikipedia article it's reported as proven fact.

There was a time when teachers taught students not to use wikipedia as a trusted source... guess they just gave up.

2009 was when I discovered English professors were telling students Wikipedia was an acceptable source. I was a writing tutor. I always explained to my students that this was wrong and showed them how to find the sources Wikipedia cites to look up and use instead. My coworkers also thought it was really weird but for some reason none of us thought to bring it up with the department head.

This was at a more conservative private college too, they didn’t get eaten away by Marxists as early as other schools.
