Hamline University continues to dig a deeper hole. Its president's newest statement once again casts the university as combatting "harm" and complains about the “purported stand-off between academic freedom and equity." Hamline is the one who has been putting the two at odds!

Also of note: She claims it's a "privileged reaction" to cite academic freedom in criticism of their nonrenewal of an adjunct professor. As @adamsteinbaugh notes, her annual salary is...$500k.

@steventdennis well thats a surprise!
Life comes at you fast.
