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.

Being tone deaf rises to new heights …
I’d say Catholic universities have gone off the rails much as has the rest of the American academy, having been coopted by their radical faculty, including religious faculty and administrators. And frankly, there are people who have never considered the Jesuits to even be Catholics. They answer to no one.
But all that being said, their hiring this woman is pathetic. Are they that intent upon being among the higher education cool kids?
The world of academia is a subculture full of nonsense degrees without any real commitment to excellence. It’s full of people who are good at nothing else but walking around, engaging in pointless meetings, and mimicking rhetoric about student success while living off the system designed by people who actually cared.
I did a lot of humanities for my undergrad, and I’m ready to temporarily defund them to stop all the nonsense.
