Gay apologizes to Harvard students -

"What I should have had the presence of mind to do in that moment was return to my guiding truth, which is that calls for violence against our Jewish community — threats to our Jewish students — have no place at Harvard, and will never go unchallenged," added Gay. "Substantively, I failed to convey what is my truth."

What the hell is all of this “my truth”?! Where did this bullshit come from? Truth is objective, not subjective. Can we please stop this crap?

Among the grossest tribal memes I've personally witnessed in my life was the marginalization of anybody who says they like free speech. But that was a thing, a year or so ago.

FIRE President Greg Lukianoff with a principled take as you would expect.

More from FIRE. A little less nuanced.

She just resigned from UPenn's presidency, but keeps her tenured position at the law school.
UPenn will be looking for a new President.

Adios, Liz...

Now you're for big government meddling in private schooling.

[Jolly]

And you're for anti-semitism?

Well, I was always told Asians were the biggest bigots on the face of the earth.

Pretty much.

This stuff has been headed downhill for over a decade. It should have corrected years ago. Universities should be about academic excellence first.

And free and unrestrained exchange of ideas second.
