I think he’s taking a victory lap for finding the -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 10:22AM I’m skeptical ** -- 111Balz 01/05/2024 09:37AM I’m skeptical of that. I think the right was immediately casting around -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 09:35AM They are in violent agreement in my opinion. First, there is the plagiarism -- Seattle .Hoo 01/05/2024 09:18AM I don’t agree that they were in violent agreement, or with this (imo) one -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 09:31AM The "all white people are oppressors" argument? Give me a break. -- Seattle .Hoo 01/05/2024 09:35AM I’m not. I’m suggesting that much of these oppressor/oppressed -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 09:49AM That's a stretch. The questioning in Congress was a planned attack, an -- Seattle .Hoo 01/05/2024 10:18AM Yeah, it gets under my skin too. Current in vogue views on bigotry lose -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 11:20AM The resignations/dismissals are casualties of the culture war. -- Chuck Taylor 01/05/2024 09:12AM I think that’s the Harvard prof’s viewpoint. I think it’s biased and only -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 09:21AM I think it illustrates the extremely delicate nature of managing the -- Chuck Taylor 01/05/2024 09:29AM Re focus on the messenger -- SysHoo 01/05/2024 08:53AM You missed by several years. This board used to be a lot more like that -- Capital City Hoo 01/05/2024 09:10AM A notable change occurred when Trumpism could no longer be -- Chuck Taylor 01/05/2024 09:24AM Most posters ignored "political posts" on The Corner. It was around ... -- Blah 01/05/2024 09:18AM Exactly - Orange Asswipe still breathing ruins everything, including here. ** -- ResistHoo 01/05/2024 09:41AM Yes ** -- WaxHoo 01/05/2024 10:34AM Oh but think of the opportuinity cost of losing all those witty insults! ** -- nyhoo 01/05/2024 09:05AM And yet in that exchange, nary one mention of her most disqualifying -- nyhoo 01/05/2024 08:38AM Neither of which should have disqualified her in my opinion ** -- 111Balz 01/05/2024 09:07AM The irony of it all that has now come to light -- nyhoo 01/05/2024 09:18AM Lol I’m not sure that’s an objective opinion. I have no idea what level -- 111Balz 01/05/2024 09:35AM It is not my field so I am not on safe footing here but -- nyhoo 01/05/2024 09:41AM Yeah, I agree with your comment about the importance of -- 111Balz 01/05/2024 09:50AM She had previously addressed it. She fell all over her sword. -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 08:53AM To answer your question from the OP, no I do not think her removal -- nyhoo 01/05/2024 09:04AM I wonder. It might change a lot. I suspect the most important metric -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 09:17AM I hope you are right, but you are more optimistic than I. My mother -- nyhoo 01/05/2024 09:37AM I wouldn’t call myself optimistic. I just think more folks are willing -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 09:53AM Why did UPENN see a record increase in early applicants on 12/15/23? -- Blah 01/05/2024 09:33AM Best guess? Penn acted quickly and got itself off the front page. -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 09:40AM I don't think that's it.

The initiatives passed -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 08:46AM Regarding equity, it can be confusing. I’ve linked an article from George -- 111Balz 01/05/2024 09:03AM A good start would be messaging. Nobody should ever start a job under the -- hoolstoptheheels 01/05/2024 09:11AM I certainly agree with your thoughts as to when to offer the taller ladder -- 111Balz 01/05/2024 09:44AM Nothing, specifically.
