I am not being critical nor pedantic when I inform you this man is not a dean, but a university chancellor. A dean is like a college department head (e.g., history, students, and the like); a chancellor is the CEO of the entire university which makes this guuy's sneering little act of even greater importance, and a complete betrayal of the very ideal universities represent.
Combine his spiteful comments with the similar behavior by Tirien Steinbach, associate dean of diversity, equity and inclusion at Stanford, toward a federal judge and it's clear the mask of civility and tolerance at our institutions of higher learning has been ripped off revealing the hidden, monster of Leftist intolerance.
Great post.
