...she definitely has "hand" in the relationship; she repeatedly went out of her way to say Katz was old, fat, bald and ugly lol. Like the Bible said, we can judge the Ivies by their fruit, and it seems they're bare.
Cliche as it may be, this makes my blood boil. Ask yourself, is there any other community as arrogant, cruel, intolerant, and hateful, as academia? Is academia the root cause of division and polarization in our society?
It is time to rethink American universities, They no longer serve America, yet they expect an unfettered stream of never ending public funding. They seem to be hell bent on ripping down America. Why should we fund this???
Education is a good thing but American universities have lost site of this basic mission. Does anyone think that truth and beauty, math and science, and art and literature, are the core values of American universities?
An amazing narrative that made my heart race and brought tears to my eyes. Princeton, like so many schools and especially in the Ivy League, is today a travesty--indeed, a mockery--of what it once was. He should wear his scarlet letter proudly as a mark of distinction and seek a better venue for his scholarship. Right here, for example.
This is, of course, chilling. Ah, the duplicitous President Eisgruber! I would love to hear an update. I hope you and your courageous husband are well and thriving.
Princeton currently is promoting a campaign to “Stand up for Princeton” which is focused on the importance of “academic freedom” in light of what it views as an attack on it by the Trump administration. This is beyond ironic in light of what happened to your husband when he chose to speak his mind.
I’m so sorry this happened to your husband (and to you), and sorry it didn’t get more attention in the press. The problems there didn’t just start recently.
This begs a question. If a university chooses to stop teaching subjects that a tenured professor is qualified to teach, then it should be free to fire the tenured professor.
Somehow we got along without tenure until the 1940's. Let's abolish it altogether.
I also lost a very good friend to politics. After she realized that I was going to vote for Trump (not enthusiastically, but I explained that he was the least Marxist option) she just... left. And never had a conversation with me again. But she and her (Lutheran pastor) sister did engage in a lengthy FaceBook argument with me about how true Christians must vote for Harris. I haven't been able to get myself to go to church since. To me the whole situation was ludicrous - a good friend and dedicated "inclusive" Lutheran social justice warrior would NEVER ditch me for my moderate politics, right? Wrong.
Funny how things come around. I was at a conference years ago when one of the group’s founders, Robert Jenson, a theological giant of Lutheranism, was all gaga about the book, “Conversations with Poppi about God: An Eight-Year-Old and Her Theologian Grandfather Trade Questions,” he had written with his granddaughter. That was Solveig Lucia Gold, and he would have been very proud of her.
Peralta is a fraud— if he doesn’t like the university, why doesn’t he leave? It’s like the priest who wants to convert his parishioners to atheism while he’e more than happy to accept the free lunches.
This reeks of antisemitism. Eventually, the so-called brainiacs at elite universities will pay for their intolerance. What goes around comes around.
This just makes me so sad…that one’s reputation can be ruined so easily by the political mob mentality

I'm comforted by the fact they are happily married.

"...as he realized that many of his closest friends were not friends at all."
.
this is the reality of "assimilated" American Jews. Same as it was in Vienna 1910, Berlin 1933, Paris 1940.
.
your "friends & neighbors" are not nearly as steadfast as you might suppose.
and it is their children, calling out for ethnic cleansing of Palestine and shouting at your children to "go back to Poland."

University of Austin He would be a huge asset
Or a local community college.

I’ll keep this short
PU is a sick place
For all of its fancy reputation from administration to faculty to undergraduates there is a stench about it
I know that within each of these groups there are exceptions and good people but they are seemingly in the minority and are cowed
