The University of Chicago, as usual, striking the right balance. Worth reading in full. It is exactly right.

President Alivisatos’ Note on the Encampment (April 29, 2024)

Dear Members of the University Community, Just a few hours ago, a group of students established an encampment on the Main Quad as a form of protest. This particular tactic is now in widespread use at universities across the country. At some, encampments have been forcibly removed, with police arresting students and faculty in chaotic scenes that are disturbing. At others, encampments have persisted, despite attempts to shut them down with force. In some cases, encampments have resulted in major disruptions to learning and the activities of the university community.

Free expression is the core animating value of the University of Chicago, so it is critical that we be clear about how I and my administration think about the issue of encampments, how the actions we take in response will follow directly from our principles, and specific considerations that will influence our judgments and actions.

The general principle we will abide by is to provide the greatest leeway possible for free expression, even expression of viewpoints that some find deeply offensive. We only will intervene when what might have been an exercise of free expression blocks the learning or expression of others or that substantially disrupts the functioning or safety of the University. These are our principles. They are clear.

Two recent examples illustrate how we bring these principles into real action. First, last quarter a student group secured university permission to cover a large fraction of the Main Quad with a massive Palestinian flag consisting of thousands of tiny colored flags. The exhibit was accompanied by signage exhorting passersby to “Honor the Martyrs,” and it was staffed by students at tables during certain hours. Those students could explain to passersby why they thought it important to feature this installation, why they thought that language was appropriate, and any other views occasioned by their installation. While this protest and accompanying message were offensive to many, there was no question that it was an exercise of free expression. It stood for weeks until the end of the approved time, at which point the student group removed it, making way for others to express their views in that space as they might see fit. This example should make it clear that we approach the issue with no discrimination against the viewpoints of those participating in this encampment. We adhere to viewpoint neutrality rigorously.

As a second illustrative example, in November, a group of students and faculty undertook an occupation of Rosenwald Hall, a classroom and administration building. That was a clear disruption of the learning of others and of the normal functioning of the University. After repeated warnings, the protesters were arrested and released. They are subject now to the University’s disciplinary process, which is still pending. In short, when expression becomes disruption, we act decisively to protect the learning environment of students and the functioning of the University against genuinely disruptive protesters.

There are almost an unlimited number of ways in which students or other members of the University community can protest that violate no policies of the University at all; the spectrum of ways to express a viewpoint and seek to persuade others is vast. But establishing an encampment clearly violates policies against building structures on campus without prior approval and against overnight sleeping on campus.

I believe the protesters should also consider that an encampment, with all the etymological connections of the word to military origins, is a way of using force of a kind rather than reason to persuade others. For a short period of time, however, the impact of a modest encampment does not differ so much from a conventional rally or march. Given the importance of the expressive rights of our students, we may allow an encampment to remain for a short time despite the obvious violations of policy—but those violating university policy should expect to face disciplinary consequences.

The impact of an encampment depends on the degree to which it disrupts study, scholarship, and free movement around campus. To be clear, we will not tolerate violence or harassment directed at individuals or groups. And, disruption becomes greater the longer the encampment persists. With a 24-hour presence, day after day, we must for example divert police resources away from public safety for our campus and our community.

If necessary, we will act to preserve the essential functioning of the campus against the accumulated effects of these disruptions. I ask the students who have established this encampment to instead embrace the multitude of other tools at their disposal. Seek to persuade others of your viewpoint with methods that do not violate policies or disrupt the functioning of the University and the safety of others.

Sincerely,

Paul

很多人对「独立思考」都有误解，觉得某个人的观点“不对”就是不会独立思考。实际上独立思考和对错没有关系，思考只是一个算法，给不同的输入就会有不同的结果，而每个人获得的信息很显然是很不一样的。独立思考的珍贵之处在于如果获得了更多的信息其结论是会改变的。独立思考其实是纠错机制。

@runawayfromtheh 我觉得支持这些令都是为了virtue signaling。。毕竟支持的人有几个真的“知道”这些令是有益的呢。大家就是觉得听起来很高尚然后为了显得自己道德比别人高尚就支持了。。我觉得这是进步运动坚不可破的很大原因，任何人除了该领域专家没法知道真相（特别是新病疫这种专家都还没来得及搞懂的问题）

[退步豚 @tuibutun]

@runawayfromtheh 对他有什么好处？我觉得任何规章制度只对反对该规定的人有坏处吧。对于本身就不反对的人没好处也没坏处。所以不明白为什么这些人那么支持损人不利己的事情（这个大前提是口罩疫苗令etc确实社会效益并不好）

@MissOllie2020 走对方的责任险，这个事故不会进你的记录。如果担心的话下次保险续费的时候可以查一下你的记录，哪怕有这一条应该明确写了你不是at fault的（当然保险价是个黑箱，没法知道到底怎么算的。。）

@Loneislandstar 他肯定很郁闷哈哈哈 感觉他最近天天在找打架但没人跟他打

[退步豚 @tuibutun]

@Loneislandstar 觉得其实直接说HNY就行了，现在说没人会觉得是指阳历吧（就算是也没啥毛病。。）这样就省去一切关于定语的争吵和尴尬了。。
