I wrote this comment; it appears I accidentally deleted part of it before posting.

I was going to say, I thought Northwestern was embracing Trump/MAGA with the $75M settlement, so this seems like a turn of events.

He is fairly anti ccp.

At Purdue, Chiang declined to act against an administrator who mocked Asian languages at a graduation ceremony, refused to take any stances on social or political issues, weakened tenure and diversity policies, declined to meet directly with students, and did not respond quickly to public record requests.

Definitely a very safe, conservative choice for Northwestern.

Lots of complaining about him/Purdue on rejecting/rescinding offer of many graduate students from China. Now it's NW turn I guess.

That is a huge positive for Northwestern and US schools in general.

MAGA can’t take it.

He had a position under Pompeo back in Trump’s first term. But I think he’s likely anti-CCP.

Worked for Pompeo because he is anti-CCP? Not because he is MAGA?

I think he is at NU to beef up their already strong engineering program.

He is anti CCP.

Northwestern has several programs- communications, music, engineering to name a few- that are standouts and among the top programs in the country.

There is one (maybe two) posters on here that have a weird obsessive anti Northwestern bias. It's really weird.

Aw, snowflake NU mom, it’s okay.

It’s Emory mom. She trolls all schools in Chicago. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

This is an incredible choice. NU students are in good hands.

The Northwestern community is pretty excited about this choice.
