Do you think the xo will produce bravery out of nowhere?
This is why we need the XO for free speech. Without it, administrators will keep standing by gutlessly as a tiny number of extremists use the heckler's veto to censor people. If admins lost federal funding for being gutless, they would stop being gutless. #incentiveshttps://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1103215939892310016 …

The XO would eliminate the need for bravery among admins. They could just say, 'sorry, we have to protect free speech, or this university goes bankrupt in six months.' Incentives can be a good substitute for ethics (like in criminal law).

Also allows admin to deflect responsibility to an external source ("we are just following the law"), so protestors more likely to direct their outrage toward that source instead of admin, possibly improving relations b/t these two parties and positively affecting campus climate.

Very good point. Admins would _love_ to be able to pass the buck on the free speech thing.

"They let my talk get shut down by antifa disruptors." "The solution is to persuade them to uphold your right to free speech." "How do I persuade them?" "Try giving a talk."

More than just research funding, no US govt back loans should be eligible to be spent at colleges that violate student rights, and allow this nonsense.

Complete crap. They didn’t want to do anything. They could’ve removed the guy.

They didn't want to stop the heckler AND they had no incentive to stop the heckler. The XO would give that incentive.
