My favorite morally obtuse quote from the 6/17 WaPo article: “But governing boards are authorized to remove university presidents on their own authority. Anne Neal, president of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, traced the Charlottesville protests to “an academic culture that isn’t accustomed to seeing boards doing anything other than rubber-stamp.”
Because things like this ought to happen much more often, right?
And now we know that Ms. Neal and ACTA are hostile to the “academic culture” of the universities they serve, and any president unwilling to put German and the Classics onto the pyre is going to get fired without discussion.
