There's always a bigger fish when it comes to the chain of command; if someone tells you they have the biggest and brassiest bells, you can almost guarantee they're still answering to someone whose bells are bigger and brassy-er. Still, people like to pretend that they're in charge and wield whatever power they have with impunity, and they certainly don't like being reminded that they do, in fact, answer to a higher power—especially when that reminder comes from some upstart students who are supposed to be the ones learning the lesson.
University certainly presents the chance for some silly situations, like this humanities class project, which was supposed to determine a large portion of the student's grades but ended up being oddly reminiscent of the latest dystopian Mr. Beast video, forcing students to remain in the “game” for as long as possible, despite medical risks and starvation, in order to earn their grade.
The professors overestimated their power when they sought to fail an entire portion of the class for overturning their weird experiment, so the students appealed to a higher power instead.
