The silence of academics is ultimately their undoing. Over and over again, the profession has failed itself by keeping quiet in the face of audacious nonsense.

Everywhere, and heaven knows I know what of I speak, donors, i.e. millionaires and billionaires, determining what can or cannot be said or studied or researched or taught. And if there aren't actual donor threats, management will pretend there is. As I well know
In the face of this fantastical breach of ethics at Yale, we notice the very loud silence of....the Cancel Culture Brigade. It's as if it was never really about academic freedom.
But yes, speaking up is costly. It's only in my old age that I'm starting to tot up how costly.
Speak up anyway.
Speak up anyway.
