Rufo won't let go, LOL.
Okay, that was really bad.

The latter.
Though they (the trio) certainly are being scapegoated for university policies with broad support throughout the administration and trustees.
But that’s one of the jobs of a leader. So in that sense it isn’t really unfair. Comes with the territory and the large salary.

Okay, but would you also agree that they could have been and should have been better prepared for their testimony? Beyond that, do you also agree that these school administrations have not done an adequate job in addressing these protests and incidents of violence and physical intimidation on campus?

I wonder what the lawyers who gave them their talking points, were trying to avoid.
Penalties under the title VI investigations that were already underway by the DoJ, and all the lawsuits from Jewish students that would follow.

Yes, as one wag put it, WilmerHale might have told them to say “it depends” but they didn’t tell them to smirk.
Beyond that, do you also agree that these school administrations have not done an adequate job in addressing these protests and incidents of violence and physical intimidation on campus?
I doubt they have, but in fairness it’s hard to say, we see videos of the incidents but there’s little reporting on any aftermath.

One of Gay’s plagiarized authors speaks out…
Unfortunately Dr. Swain probably only represents about 98% of the country.
It is time to start ignoring that other 2%.

What I imagine her resignation will look like:
In all the decisions I have made in my public life, I have always tried to do what was best for the
NationHarvard. Throughout the long and difficult period ofWatergateHamasgate, I have felt it was my duty to persevere, to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which youelectedhired me.In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I no longer have a strong enough political base in the
CongressHarvard Corporation to justify continuing that effort. As long as there was such a base, I felt strongly that it was necessary to see theconstitutionaleducational process through to its conclusion, that to do otherwise would be unfaithful to the spirit of that deliberately difficult process and a dangerously destabilizing precedent for the future.But with the disappearance of that base, I now believe that the
constitutionaleducational purpose has been served, and there is no longer a need for the process to be prolonged. -
Solid.
