Important Takeaways:
- Woke Cowardice: Wrong University Presidents at the Wrong Time
- As Ecclesiastes observed “to everything there is a season”. This seems to be the season for woke cowardice
- [These administrators] are also insensitive to civil liberties and the rights of those with whom they disagree.
- It creates divisiveness on campuses that makes Jewish students and faculty fearful for their safety when their university president seems unwilling to apply the same standard to those who advocate genocide against Jews as they surely would against anyone who advocated genocide against Blacks or the raping of women or the shooting of gay and transgender people.
- What these universities need now are principled advocates of a single standard, rather than leaders who base their decisions on outside pressures and the need to pander to extremist students, faculty and administrators.
- One thing is clear: [university presidents] should be selected on the basis of relevant, individual meritocratic criteria— not the cookie cutter criteria of the “diversity, equity and inclusion” bureaucracies.
