Don't Excuse the Hypocrisy of University Presidents When It Comes to Free Speech

Leaders of elite educational institutions are now desperately trying to contain the fallout from the explosive hearing earlier this week at which the presidents of Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania failed to reassure Congress that they were sufficiently concerned about antisemitism on campus.

UPenn President Elizabeth Magill released a video yesterday in which she clarified that calling for genocide against Jewish people is "evil, plain and simple" and would in fact violate the university's anti-harassment policies.
