announced explicitly as a good and noble goal, by the upcoming generation

Undergrad publications print the craziest shit imaginable and sometimes even mean it. I wouldn't expect them to "think" the same way a few years after graduation, though.

Depends on what they do after graduation. If they go out into the real world, they will generally get over it. On the other hand, if they stay in academy, they're likely to become even crazier. (Unfortunately, it is the latter who will set future university policy.)
