Special Monday Gene Pool Gene Poll.
Hello. This is a sudden and unexpected tiny Gene Pool, based on a news story today.
Here is the story. It is about the demotion of three deans at Columbia for text messages they sent to each other that were deemed antisemitic. This should work as a paywall-free link.
Read it if you have time. We’ll discuss it tomorrow in the real-time segment of your regularly scheduled Gene Pool.
I have opinions, which I will share tomorrow. Your responses might sway me!
If you would like to elaborate on your feelings, please send to our questions and observations button.
See you all tomorrow.
I’m not involved in university administration but it seems to me that those who are deans should be held to the highest standards of non-discrimination. I might have a different opinion if a mere professor had done the same.
Plug in any other minority group. Would it be acceptable?
