Dear Prof. Loury. I have one quibble that I'd like address. You have publicly stated on either this podcast or other podcasts that Amy Wax is NOT in fact "your friend" and you have no personal connection with her whatsoever. Yet you insist on calling her "your friend" when you have her on the podcast despite your public disclaimer. Why?? Why not just be honest and say something along the lines that you believe in academic freedom, freedom of speech and the true calling of a university, henceforth you find her case compelling and important and because of this you WANT to "platform" her? (and you may even appreciate the intellectual engagement" nothing wrong with any of that, but ever since you've disclosed you are not friends of any sort.. hearing that coming out of your mouth (ex post disclosure) just grates on me.
I agree a lousy audio. The Dean of the Penn Law School and the Chancellor of the university should resign in disgrace. Amy Wax is expected to defend herself against what? A Bill of Indictment that is unlawful. Glenn regurgitated the false allegations. SHAME ON PENN UNIVERSITY.
The problem with Amy's position on antisemitic behavior on campus is saying things like globalize the Intifada in the shared space of a university campus can easily border on harassment. Let's be honest, they weren't protesting for peace. They were calling for additional violence. You only have to hear that one to know their position. Jewish students having to live with that every minute you're on campus creates what many would call an unacceptable dynamic.
It would be one thing if there was an announcement that between 12:00-1:00 on this day there will be protests. 24 hours a day in a shared environment where the wrath of one group is directed at another on campus is not going to work.

It's always a great pleasure to hear from Dr. Wax. Have her on more.

In essence, what are almost always delusions for most students, were reality for Jewish students. And it's not over, given Columbia in last few days.
