@mgriley@lmcmillen@ssmallwd had no problem breaking their own rules to publish the#MeToo
letter (https://www.chronicle.com/blogs/letters/in-scholarly-debates-on-metoo-survivor-support-should-take-precedence …) which is *still* up on Medium https://medium.com/@nsscollectiveeditorial/collective-editorial-survivor-support-should-take-precedence-71a2f6230157 ….
