IME uni admins fail to engage with campus ideological controversies and allow them to fester until they explode.

I think that does happen sometimes. But in cases like Emory I think admins are empowering students making untenable arguments

I think that empowering students making untenable arguments is not all that big of a deal, if each untenable arg gets a turn.

I think it's a jump to say that the dumb admin actions at Emory make for a pervasive problem.

fair enough. some of the free speech stuff -- wesleyan another example -- really does worry journos.

I guess. The Argus is still in publication though. End result is more dialogue. So where's the harm?

In particular, none of these incidents seem to have lasting impact. These are incidents that temporarily interrupt speech.

they have a major impact on the kids on the campuses I've talked to some of them. But tricky to know what to "do" about it

IMO it seems like campuses with admins who actively engage in political controversies regularly have fewer of these issues.

So I think that it's unfair to blame students for expressing anti-free-speech opinions or organizing politically around them.

Right, so I still can't detect at which point harm occurs. When they confront admins? Sign a petition? Win a shouting match?
