@marlowe1 The Department is “standing by” Brown because she is tenured.

Whatever you may think of Brown’s views on the historical issues, I don’t think there is any way to avoid the fact that her vulgar attacks on her opponents, the posting of personal identification to “doxx” them, and the deliberate recruitment of Milo Yiannoupolous to make the whole thing an alt-right cause celebre is all seriously crappy behavior unworthy of the U of C. It’s not about scholarship. You seem to think that the letter posted by her fellow profs after her offensive behavior is the problem, but that is conflating intellectual disagreement with disagreement over inappropriate behavior.
