People are getting fired or suspended from college teaching jobs for *referencing* a racial slur. But according to Jeet that's a "false narrative" of cancel culture & the real victim is NHJ (a non-academic) b/c her offer of instant tenure was reduced to a 5-year contract.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1395480629660291079 …

Board of Trustee interference in faculty decision is a very serious breech of free speech norms. Your side can't see that because you dislike NHJ's politics.

So what is your opinion of CA Board of Regents interference in faculty recommendation to keep the SATs? Political interference only problematic on tenure decisions? Admissions not a big deal? How committed are you to this idea that it’s just one side?

In fairness to Jeet, all he is alleging is anti-cancel culture warriors who shrug at this are showing that they are not principled about it.

That’s the most charitable reading of this particular tweet but ignores his other writings. In fairness to his body of work I’m suggesting that he’s not principled about worrying about political interference in colleges. Because he isn’t.

Replying to @Sebastian_Hols @jholbo1 and
Specifically he doesn’t care about a Board political non-interference principle. Overruling the well researched hundred page report on the SAT, in the largest public system in the US, is clearly more impactful than a single tenure decision in a mid rate university.

I'm sorry but your snobbery towards UNC is pretty gross.
