"Rutgers chancellor launches safety review, ‘academic freedom’ task force amid ‘Dr Antifa’ uproar
The chancellor of Rutgers University said the Ivy League institution is committed to academic freedom and will be launching a safety review and 'academic freedom' task force amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Antifa-aligned professor Mark Bray.
'I write today to reaffirm Rutgers University’s unwavering commitment to academic freedom and freedom of expression—values that define a great research university and underpin our mission of discovery, dialogue, and public engagement,' Rutgers Chancellor Francine Conway wrote in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
'Incidents involving ‘doxing’ and harassment of faculty members understandably raise deep concerns across our community,' Conway wrote. 'I want to express my support for any member of our community who has been targeted for their scholarship.'
(. . .)
In her statement, Conway said she has directed Rutgers’ chief of police and chief information technology officer to review protocols for both physical and digital safety on campus.
'I therefore want to express, in the strongest possible terms, not only my personal abhorrence of the practice of doxing and threatening our faculty and students, but also the university’s commitment to protecting the security of our faculty, students, and staff from the consequences of having their personal information publicly disseminated.'
Conway said the officials will assess existing systems and 'report any additional recommendations' to strengthen protections.”
