I was sad when the RW took over New university in Florida.. Now they seem intent on the rest.
I understand that the UVa president had to resign. He couldn't endanger others. There needs to be more support in place the next time this happens, so no one else has to make this choice.
This isn't about one guy's job. It's about whole universities. It's about freedom.
He will do this to everybody if we don't stop him.
