Georgetown has a genuinely horrible reputation. Georgetown fired Sandra Sellers for observing (with regret) that black students in her classes get lower grades on average. Of course, her observation was 'true' (a nasty 4-letter word), but so what? Observing the truth isn't PC and PC is the only thing that counts.

That firing was awful. As was forcing another professor (Batson) to resign since he was in that less than 1 minute conversation.
It was a legit observation. Getting fired for being concerned -- that was f-ed up. The irony is that these sorts of observations, if true, can lead to positive changes for all.
Whether Sellers' observation would hold up to scrutiny is unclear, since Georgetown refuses to actually see whether there is any degree of merit in it. Which is a disservice to pretty much everyone.
Whether something is 'true' or 'false' is irrelevant. What matters is whether or not it is PC. Did it matter than Galileo was right? Of course, not. He offended the church and that was not PC. 'Woke' is the church of out time and takes offense at the truth.
Anyone who tells the left an actual truth stands a good chance of being attacked and canceled. Their fantasy world is never to be questioned. That will become their ignominious and final end. Reality has a way of running you down at some point. It cares nothing for your outrage, political leanings or much about your social justice aims.
Creating your own reality does not negate actual reality. The leftist mobs keep eating their own when they need new targets to feed to their bottomless maw of hate and power. This cycle will not end well when the volcano blows.

Which raises that old those who do not know history thang.
China builds dams. The US enforces PC. Who will win the 21st century? Do we need to ask?
And Law Professor Amy Wax
Amy Wax is at Penn Law
Same reason Charles Murray is canceled.
He was cancelled?? Missed that one.
Long time ago, one of the earlier casualties.

Possibly. For some but probably not all. I was involved in medical education and it was a real, difficult problem
