Is that not the worst kind of cancel culture? You’re going to discriminate against graduates of a university with a professor or department you don’t like?

- waterhouse 6y agoIt depends how inclusively you define the term. It doesn't involve posting the candidates on social media or otherwise forming a mob, nor creating negative publicity to pressure an institution into doing something they wouldn't otherwise do. There may be people who use the term "cancel culture" more loosely than that, but I think the above criteria are useful—they cover many examples, yet are specific enough to justify the assertion "cancel culture is dangerous, destructive, and likely bad".
