I’m a university president. Our profession should finish what Charlie Kirk started

Comments

1. Marshleo: It's easy to get swept up in outrage, but as a president I've seen what works and what doesn't. Charlie Kirk might have been provocative, but he brought a lot
2. 🍇 Vidar Volkov: Free speech isn't just about letting opposing views in the room, it's about forcing people to listen to them too
3. Maya: you can't 'finish what Charlie Kirk started' if you're not willing to risk getting canceled too
4. Noel: can't believe it's taken this long for someone to actually speak up
5. Ravia: I'm disappointed but unsurprised; universities seem to have a long-standing issue with handling disagreements between staff and guest speakers, and it's not just campus debates that suffer
6. Selim: You're giving Charlie Kirk a lot of credit for starting something from beyond the grave. I think he was trying to provoke, not start a movement
7. 🕊️ Guillaume Flores: that's some bold headline, but can you really attribute Charlie Kirk's 'finish' to finishing a debate, or was it more like finishing his career as an organizer?
