The professor seems like a very balanced and reasonable person. I think she is wrong when she suggests the solution is the "professors standing up" against these types of witch-hunts.
There is no penalty for false charges, there is no drawback for BLM, or any other group to raise as much hell as they can. They will use Title IX, or anything else. And these groups are filled with people who do just want to cause some drama, and often they are being used by the teachers as a threat against the administration.
Melissa Click was not about fighting racism or having a safe space, she wanted the U of MO to pay a higher % of her health insurance. It was a labor dispute. Similar to this case. How can an on line article be a 'threat' or 'retaliation' against someone?
Because spending money on lawyers is to best financial decision a professor can make? Or perhaps if less money was spent on lawyers by educators, education would be cheaper.

We're not allowed to think, to criticize?
And these are supposed to be learned people.
Obama is doing that with people who criticize him.
Sounds like a Marx Bros. movie.

That's the entire point. Kafka and Orwell are in a dead heat here for being objects of worship by these types..
Yes, the nightmare of the human drive to organize and classify.
"Whatever it is, I'm against it."
And, looking forward to Title IX, he always gets his man.
Good Link TT.
