Beacon of Civility in Genocidal Times

Oh no, apparently word has spread to scientists. I might have to take this seriously if it catches on. http://t.co/w9JFupDBfN

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@FakeCaryNelson Yes, thankfully most of our strategy discussions were protected by simply cc-ing the lawyers.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

On the hunt for whomever fulfilled the FOA request from @insidehighered so quickly. I have standing orders to stonewall. #dehired

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@FakeCaryNelson @Illinois_Alma I am always happy to engage in civil dialogue.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@cocktailhag @FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen I take principled stands no other administrator will, academic freedom or standards be damned!

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@cocktailhag @FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen This is why I am known as the Rogue Chancellor.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@cocktailhag @FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen In the future, when #Gaza and the West Bank no longer exist, faculty may freely discuss the conflict.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@cocktailhag @FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen But without the Palestine/native studies comparative line, they are mostly just teaching history.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@cocktailhag @FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen Your premise is faulty. I know there are several anti-colonial faculty in American Indian Studies.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@ProfStiff @FakeCaryNelson Perhaps we could organize a breakout session to educate faculty after your anti-BDS panel at the AAA, Cary?

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@ProfStiff @FakeCaryNelson I think this would be much more appropriate to host for grad students and faculty.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen That is a much more appropriate metaphor, my dear friend. Let's meet for drinks later to further co-ordinate.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

+Hamas is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian children this summer. So I don't follow the comparison to human shields!

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen I have acted to protect our students from exposure to ideas and discourses that would suggest anyone other than+

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen Our students have never been put in actual harms way regarding this internal hiring issue.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@FakeCaryNelson @ljmgreen Indeed, these attacks on my thoughtful response are incredibly disproportionate.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

The standard for incivility, like that of obscenity, is unambiguous: I know it when I see it.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

I don't undersand colleagues who say that the criteria for civil discourse I have outlined as a prerequisite to academic freedom is vague.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@FakeCaryNelson Yes, I agree. "Civil" is just euphemistic enough that you can make the point of who is deserving without saying it out loud.

[Phyllis Not-So-Wise @RogueChancellor]

@FakeCaryNelson You may or may not officially be on my administration's payroll, but without you my position would be much harder to explain
