Citing McCarthyist “loyalty hearings,” the university president writes: “the proponents of censorship and repression all had one thing in common: they were on the wrong side of history.”
@realchrisrufo She adds:

“College campuses are a place for controversial issues and emerging ideas to be taught, discussed and debated. This is how we fulfill our missions of advancing knowledge and understanding in a democratic society.”
