She's taking a "World Bank" approach to this situation, that's for sure. This quote by her is hilarious:

"The point of university is to be intellectually challenged and confronted with difference." She argued that universities needed to 'teach people to have difficult conversations', adding: “It’s through that process of listening that you learn, you build consensus, and you move forward as a community."

HK was hugely coordinated though. It would be like if not just a campus but the whole city was in on it because they knew they didn't have a choice, and the tactics were more specific to what would work against the CCP, not the US. If it was in another country that wasn't an oppressive autocracy, it would probably have been very effective.

Edit: hey downvote if you want, but tell me something like this doesn't take coordination:

I'm just amazed at how clean that carpet is. If it was a Pro Gamer carpet, stains would start to materialize immediately

For a minute I thought they were saying "tank, yo" and it was some kind of gen alpha slang that was too cool for me

You say that... But I named my kid "Kirby's Dream Course" after my favourite golf inspired Kirby game and next thing you know... child gone, forced into beta testing.

Any time I see my kid's name on the credits it's always abbreviated KDC, but it still brings a tear to my eye.

This is pretty much what I said when I came out as asexual to my fam. To which my dad said, "so... you're gay." I shrugged and said yeah sure. I'd rather be labeled that than forced into comphet.
