Take the whistleblower complaint by several career DOJ attorneys working with the Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism as the equivalent of a complaint–one party’s version of events. But everyone has long suspected much of what it says–the government ignored Title VI procedures, did not (in many/most cases) have factual bases or evidence of actual Title VI violations, ignored that much of the incidents involved protected speech, and cares less about protecting Jews than about using them to attack what it (for now) sees as the larger enemy.
Shame on every university that caved. Shame on every university considering caving even with this new information. And shame on the AAU leadership that drafted “Compact 2.o” that handed the administration the latest weapon that universities (including mine and the rest of the Florida State University System) are racing to enter.
