Last week, Dr. McHugh wrote a piece on the events of student disturbances at a few American Universities, including that icon of the Ivy League, Yale University. This follows the incidents related to comments made by a professor at Yale who differed on a policy statement issued by the University that Halloween costumes should be selected with sensitivities of other students in mind. To wit, costumes should not be insulting or disrespectful of others in the campus community. Shortly after the professor's response, her husband, another professor on campus, was treated to an ungly incident as he walked on campus. Surrounded by a group of students, he was berated and harassed for "what his wife said". That's right, he was harassed for what his wife said. Hmmmm. Seems like Yalies are a sensitive bunch. Was it like that when John Kerry was on campus?
Both professors have not returned to campus this spring. Would you? The little snot-nosed privileged brats don't deserve to be the beneficiaries of the professors' renown or their expertise. I'm sure if they walked, that would be the best message they could send to the student body.
