If you’re thinking about physically attacking a professor on a college campus at a public event you don’t like, it’s probably best to wear a mask.

That’s the moral from Middlebury College’s “resolution” to the riot on campus March 2 when author Charles Murray tried to speak.

On Tuesday — 82 days after the fact — the central Vermont liberal arts college announced the end of its “sanctioning process” against students who prevented Murray from speaking in public and then harassed and (possibly) injured a Middlebury professor who accompanied Murray.

It should have been Grin Consequences. This just encourages more attacks. These students should have had a serious beat down, Now they will consider the proceedings an award and go do it again.
