JONATHAN TURLEY: Want to stop Yale’s wokery? Target the alumni, not the students. “Graduates must be willing to withhold contributions from these schools. Yale is at the virtual bottom of free speech rankings with other schools like Georgetown, Penn, and Columbia. That disgraceful distinction has not produced even a scintilla of concern at the school because faculty are insulated from any backlash. Indeed, they benefit on some levels from the viewpoint intolerance or limitations. It is only money that might motivate administrators to reconsider this trend as alumni refuse to subsidize orthodoxy.”
I’m not sure. Yale is so rich already that this may not matter. And most of the problems stem from a rather vicious minority of the student body bullying others. The faculty goes along, and administrators even encourage it, but I’m not sure that alumni pressure will work. Which is no reason not to apply it too.
