They\u2019re ambitious \u2026 So they do the woke posturing because they feel pressure to their left,\u201d Azerrad said, \u201cbut they never pay a price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you started putting pressure [on them], a lot of them would fold in line and collapse like a deck of cards,\u201d the professor said.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if a prestigious university institutes a policy that any student who disrupts a speaker is immediately expelled from the university with no diploma, the students\u2019 behavior would change as they will not be willing to sacrifice a diploma for their woke principles, Azerrad explained.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Not True Believers<\/strong>  Students walk through Sproul Plaza on the University of California\u2013Berkeley campus in Berkeley, Calif., on April 23, 2012.
