Ethics Dunce (Again): Georgetown University Law Center…and May I Add: KABOOM!

Unbelievable. It is such a critical time for Georgetown that it turned to a an ex-university president who had to resign in disgrace. Here’s Victor Davis Hansen regarding Magill:

“[T]he University of Pennsylvania forced the resignation of its president, Liz Magill. She sat next to [soon jettisoned Harvard president] Gay during that now-infamous congressional hearing in which they both claimed they were unable to discipline blatant antisemitism on their campuses. Instead, both pleaded “free speech” and “context” considerations. Such excuses were blatantly amoral and untrue.”

And here is Bishop Robert Barron, where he described Magill’s refusal to declare anti-Semitism as unacceptable on a college campus in “Ivy League Presidents and the Collapse of Moral Reasoning.” Wait, isn’t Georgetown a Jesuit school? And it just chose a new law school dean who displayed a void of moral reasoning in a nationally televised Congressional hearing? Baron wrote,

“That appalling Congressional testimony served to blow the lid off of an increasingly dysfunctional culture on the campuses of our universities, which have become, sadly, not places where truth is sought, but hotbeds of woke ideology. Donors, parents, alumni—wake up. Do we want to be sending our kids to schools whose presidents cannot muster the intestinal fortitude to resist calls for genocide?”

Yes, this is the “right person” to lead the Law Center.
