Stanford Fallout

Last week, we were covering the controversy at Stanford, where a conservative judge who had been invited to speak was heckled by students and dressed down by the Law School’s dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Tirien Steinbach.

Today, Fox News is reporting that Steinbach is “on leave” currently. The below Fox article also has additional videotape showing Duncan being heckled by students while Steinbach sits quietly in a front row seat. The proper action would have been to stand up as soon as the ruckus started and tell the protesters if they can’t sit quietly and listen they need to leave-and bring in campus police if it continues.

I don’t know if Steinbach has been suspended or merely taking leave of her own volition. If true as reported in the Fox article, she has received hate mail and threats, I condemn that. At the same time, I would not regret if she is being punished by Stanford. Maybe this is the only way these activists masquerading as professors and university administrators will clean up their act.
