I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.
Well first, “University President” is at best a short term job for anyone. So why not make the best of it and attempt to LEAD. I define courage as doing the right thing even when the risk of being hurt is high. And the more university leaders declining this pact, the lower the risk.
Wow. I’m not pretending to be a saint here, but it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around being willing to simply give away any personal integrity or dignity to push a narrative that is easily demonstrated to be false. I guess notions of honor are old fashioned but what do you want your legacy to be?
