I talked to some faculty at Hamline about what it's been like, what they want, how they are preparing for class in a week.

NEW: Two professors at #HamlineUniversity speak out. The senior Hamline administration should, but won't, say: "We messed up. This was wrong. We shouldn't have said Islamophobic. We shouldn't have said either/or feelings or academic freedom."

![A screenshot of two quotes: “We're pissed,” said Professor A, “because there was some email that was to the faculty, summing up with [a statement] like “we all can grow and learn together.” And we all obviously should always be growing and learning together. But this isn't like it's on all of us. Now it's just everybody has to solve it without the administration ever saying: ‘We messed up. This was wrong. We shouldn't have said Islamophobic. We shouldn't have said either/or feelings or academic freedom.’ And it doesn't seem that they're going to do that.” AND Prof B: ", “We need to zero in on the two issues most salient in the public (and campus) debates: the lesson was called Islamophobic in campus communications, and we used language that academic freedom can and should be "superseded" in some instances. What I and many colleagues want to see from our senior administrators is a clear, consistent apology."](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fmhb_5aXwAAGAaK?format=png&name=small)
