[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown is in a tough spot. Fire him and both the right and the traditional liberals go bananas over free expression issues and cancel culture. Do nothing and the left goes bananas over racism and how impossible it will be for him to be an effective teacher now that every black woman at the school knows he considers them "lesser."

Maybe they shouldn't have hired him in the first place, but he was hired by the faculty director of the center, who is himself a conservative, and the center is at Georgetown but it's funded by outside money.

Putting him on paid admin leave while the university tries to determine if he violated any policies seems like a reasonable compromise. [/quote]
It’s funny that you see Georgetown as a political actor instead of what it actually is, a law school. And the 3 most important stakeholders in a law school are the administration, the faculty and the students. I think he’s already angered all three by his behavior.

People certainly have free speech, but the legal profession - and particularly legal academia - runs on collegiality. His conduct makes him unfit. [/quote]
