This is one of the most infuriating opinion pieces on recent protests I've read and that's saying something.

When in the hell did university presidents decide that alumni are "external actors"? MPOW made this distinction in their policy and as someone who is regularly tagged in to help hire them up for $$, and as someone whose family has a multi-generational connection with my alma mater...wtf.

Is the chair named for a different W. E. B. Du Bois? Not the one who blasted Fisk for capitulating (in a commencement address, no less), harshly criticized students for not being activists, and quit disinterested scholarship after the lynching of Sam Hose? Must be a different one.

He compared advocating rule-breaking with yelling "Fire!" in a theater. Wild. I guess there's a reason he didn't discuss the difference between just and unjust rules.

Fire in a crowded building. Yes to criticize Harvard is the equivalent of causing a mob stampede that kills dozens. I mean it’s Harvard. Not just some silly city hall or something.
