>Although the 87 professors who demanded that the invitation to Bannon be revoked asserted that they represented ‘the breadth of the University’s intellectual community’, in fact 36 of them – nearly one-third – teach at either the school of social work (20) or in the English department (16).
Considering the topic Steve Bannon, I'm baffled it wasn't more. But besides, I'm more baffled the author attempts to disclaim concern for platforming Bannon with a mere third of "automatically reject-able" professors, and then continues the argument with less than a sixth.
Is this meant to convince me of anything?
