Statement on Prof. David Collum’s Tweets
Conclusion — The Cultural Revolution Is Here
Two years ago I wrote about The new Cultural Revolution on Campuses:

Content: The Student Assembly also has issued a Demand that Collum be fired. It’s a total pile-on seeking to enforce rigid uniformity of opinion, even opinion expressed away from campus. The Cornell motto of “any student … any study” has been a theme of the attacks on Collum, arguing that Collum’s tweeted words make students feel unsafe and the campus non-inclusive. The Cornell administration tried to mollify this mob. In a statement issued by senior Cornell administrators, including the President and Police Chief, the school upheld Collum’s right “to express his views in his private life,” but the administration also condemed Collums tweets as “not just deeply insensitive, but deeply offensive,” and contrary to the Cornell “vision of a university, and by extension, a world for ‘any person’.” The political culture at Cornell is toxic, and it’s only going to get worse. Cornell should amend its motto to “Any student or faculty member who agrees with popular campus opinion … any study.” Background – Grad Student Union Organizer Hostility
I wrote about Collum in 2017, when he earned the hatred of graduate students organizing to form a union (which ultimately failed) because Collum opposed the union, which he felt would harm graduate studies. A group of union-organizing graduate students then launched a campaign against Collum via a letter to the editor in the Cornell Sun. The Sun irresponsibly ran the letter.
