I think they're pretty tone deaf and one sided on the issue of free speech.


"offensive speech" such as misgendering a person or sharing an offensive meme... totally unacceptable within the Harvard or Penn community and will result in expulsion or revocation of acceptance. But calling for the extermination of all Jews... well, c'mon, that's going to depend on the context. I mean if someone actually took action on exterminating jews, well of course THAT would be against our code of conduct.

This is indefensible Balz. Do I think the presidents of those universities are antisemitic, hate jews, and support genocide? Of course not. But their answers are disgusting and unacceptable. They should all be fired, and the schools should fall on their sword and admit they've been inconsistent on this issue and are making major changes do better going forward.
