“I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the overstepping of the protesters. They have no right to menace members of our academic and surrounding communities. When students and other participants are vandalizing property, lighting fires and spray-painting phrases such as “kill the pigs,” we have moved well past legitimate forms of free speech”

So?
Catch them. Arrest them. Jail them. Fine them. Expel them. Don’t return their tuition.
Let Mummy and Daddy deal with their little $#!+$.

I want to offer a personal illustration of the pain these protesters have caused. Many gathered outside my home this weekend into the early hours of the morning, chanting “f— you Morty” and “piggy Morty.”

He only got upset when the protestors finally turned on him.

The extreme liberal education system is reaping what they have sown. He’s only upset cause they showed up on his doorstep.

Northwestern is in arguably the most liberal suburb of Chicago, named Evanston.

I'm as shocked as can be.

He agrees with their reasons for protesting. but not their methods. He is part of the problem.

Any “tide-turning” here is unlikely - you should have seen the letter he sent out when all the George Floyd stuff hit the fan: point-after-point of the usual pandering to the usual suspects, going on for pages and pages. This is the same university president who called parents who took issue with concepts like micoragression “idiots”. But now that the wind he’s sown as turned into a whirlwind he doesn’t know how to reap, he’s crying like a stuck pig - and that image was not chosen as a poke at his ethnicity.

He apparently saw the light only after his own home was the target of protesters.

Look for the libtard students to “occupy” the President’s office in the near future.
