Some people say the presidents of these universities (and others) aren't doing their job. I'd argue they absolutely ARE doing their job, and doing it well, otherwise they would have all been fired.

Some people say the presidents of these universities (and others) aren't doing their job. I'd argue they absolutely ARE doing their job, and doing it well, otherwise they would have all been fired. I'd argue that Gay is probably pretty good at wearing multiple hats. So what is the job they are so good at? That's THE problem - these leaders and educators (activists) have sold and been sold on the idea that their job is to uproot structural inequities by various means, and that not participating means you don't get a seat at the table, at the minimum, and are prone to having your character maligned. In other words, their job (and many other educators) is to be activists! The criteria for doing a "good job" is more like making up for the past sins of America and colonialism, etc.. we all know this. The focus should be on the ideas and principles that have empowered the taking over of so many things (media, corporations, educations) in the name of DEI. So Bari, when do we get a series of public debates on these principles? We need you and your team to host them or move them forward, they have to be pointed to, debated, and we need free thinkers who oppose illiberalism to stand by better methods and point out a better solution. Otherwise we keep getting activists and the shut down of free speech.
