What has this got to do with multiculturalism?
Did the non-white male students call for these changes, or is it part of the corporate agenda of disrupting strong social networks and bonds?

I don't think you're really aware of what "equity" means. I think that would be a good place for you to expand your thinking.

Ehh. I think it sometimes sucks for those for which the past lack of equity benefitted them.
Probably more than anywhere I see this in athletics with boys and girls. Certain Dad’s of boys complain about how when they were boys they could do all these things that are now off limits because they say girls complain about them. I’m not sure the girls feel the same way.

When do you think multiculturalism was implemented? Hasn't America been multicultural for...hundreds of years? Different immigrant groups had their own culture, different states had their own culture, different religions had their own cultures, hicks/urbanites had their own cultures, educated/uneducated had their own cultures, etc.

#8I read the whole article, and it seems to be entirely about the push to remove Greek / Frat / Sorority life from campus and convert these houses to more traditional dorms.
I know that some people who got a lot out of Greek Life equate it with Social Life, but most college students don't pledge/rush and it doesn't get in the way of social life. There are plenty of ways to socialize without frats.

Are there specific details about what the band did?

#10> Lake Lagunita was closed to student activities in 2001, ostensibly to protect an endangered salamander that had taken up residence in the artificial waters. Eventually, Stanford let the lake go dry.
Simple: Stanford should be held responsible for the impact their actions, that here directly caused harm to an endangered species.
Either they did lie before, about the salamander (then they're on the hook for lying for material gains) or showed negligence after, causing the draught.
In either case, neither the truth nor endangered species are acceptable casualties in Stanford ongoing war against its own students.
