So Longo says that it WAS abt the tents? And that if the tents had been taken down, by implication, that he wouldn’t have pressed forward in summoning state troopers? But also… that he was scared & worried abt “outside agitators” & the “temperature” heating up bc of #’s? ⛺️

To a plea by my colleague on the Faculty Senate for us to “come together” & forgive our fellow human leaders, so students can have a nice & pleasant graduation:

There are NO universities in Gaza. Some of our students see THIS as a graver issue, for fellow humans.

Wait, what?

I am reeling from this “explanation.” It is not merely an abdication, but a violation of even the pretense of a commitment to education.

If no university rule was ever changed, we would be abiding by ALL our founder TJ’s rules. Which is a reprehensible position.
