For one, looking up who backed Argentina's junta would lead to some uncomfortable realizations for North Americans.

today in Stop Romanticizing Canada: Quebec’s Bill 9 has just taken effect, barring women in veils from receiving public services. Public employees include university faculty, so professors have been instructed to require veiled women to uncover their faces or be removed from the classroom.

We need to make the embrace of such drivel the career-ending move that it ought to be, rather than a step on the ladder of failing upward for the administrator class

This very good piece gives two compelling answers to the question but overlooks a third, which is that Yale administrators see a deal as an opportunity to further undermine faculty, staff, and student autonomy/governance, which they view as a greater threat to their interests than Trump.

So why is it that McInnis and her fellow elites crumbled so instantaneously, and seem to bear little awareness of how immensely unpopular the president and his crusade is? Why, in short, are they not only callow and lacking in moral strength, but also such poor strategists?

They are careful to highlight that a key issue is not his intellectual freedom to engage academically in controversial subjects but his ad hominems&avowed intention to specifically cause harm to others. Anyone willing to die on the hill of academic/intellectual freedom over this is on the wrong hill
