I ask questions for a living. Occasionally I answer some, too. Prof @pennlaw & @wharton

Start the day out right tomorrow with Crime and Punishment at 8:00 followed by Economics of Crime at 10:15 both in Grand Ballroom Salon I. We'll bring the coffee. #ASSA2026

@neumanmd True

We need to change the climate on campuses such that students can actually speak freely about a whole host of issues about which they now self-censor

P.S. This doesn’t mean this answer applies using rules at different schools or the first amendment or that it’s the *right* rule. This is just my read under the rules as they currently exist at Penn. (10/10)

I'm still seeing disagreement about the Congressional testimony on Tues and hope some smart lawyers can help me out @HoffProf @lee_kovarsky (1/n)

[David Abrams @davidsabrams]

The correct answer was yes. (9/n)

[David Abrams @davidsabrams]

@HoffProf It's hard to be mad at your friends, but...what type of error are we talking about?

[David Abrams @davidsabrams]

@lee_kovarsky Nah, can't have the d without b. Or the rest of the terms, which refer to e.g. hazing, stealing, etc but don't explicitly refer to discipline

[David Abrams @davidsabrams]

@lee_kovarsky Ya, but don't you think part of that real code are those two provisions in the image (unless I screwed that up cause I suck at the xitters)?

[David Abrams @davidsabrams]

@lee_kovarsky Hi, Lee!

@lee_kovarsky I'm just a fake law prof but since when is an FAQ binding? It looks like III.b and d of the code of student conduct are what's relevant and a bit contradictory. But my (ignorant, non-lawyer) read is that calls for genocide qualify as threats of violence against another person.

[David Abrams @davidsabrams]

@neumanmd It's about time that someone publicly acknowledged the upgrades @HoffProf made during his sojourn in my office
