I had a great discussion today with John Tomasi of @HdxAcademy on the value and purpose of university commencement addresses, and why their use to deliver politicized messages is not good. Many great audience questions. https://t.co/L4pIdwMjyB
c/o @glukianoff & @RIKKISCHLOTT's 'The Canceling of the American Mind,' a reminder of the social pressures at work in higher education--at MIT and elsewhere.
There was a bit of a row over NYU selecting @JonHaidt for its keynote this year -- which makes @MIT president Sally Kornbluth look all the wiser for inviting him to deliver MIT's Compton Lecture this spring. It was a great discussion! Watch it here:

Efforts to cancel commencement speakers for wrongthink are common. So common in fact that two decades ago @TheFIREorg took to calling commencement season "disinvation season."
Too often administrations capitulate to these demands by pivoting to speakers or ceremonies so bland that they become banal. And by rewarding the cancelers, they incentivize more cancelation demands.
Fortunately, @nyuniversity isn't backing down.
We've found that when universities state unequivocal commitments like this, the demands peter out.
It's when you equivocate, or try to please everyone, that cancelation voices grow louder.
I’m moderating a webinar on intellectual diversity in higher ed this Wednesday at 2pm ET.
Participants include John Tomasi (President, HxA), William Inboden (Provost, UT-Austin), and Ramsey White, (Trustee, UNC-Chapel Hill).
