Whoa.... Pretty big left turn from education free speech to "I was accused of stuff". It seems like this grandstanding might really be about the latter. Edit:

If it was the latter, there would be criminal investigation and he officially would know, what he is accused of. But by putting that into question in Title IX investigation, it is about destroying credibility. Nobody is accusing him of anything, but a slanderous thought is being put into minds of his students.

  According to him. And even if that were true. So what? The university should investigate claims. They seemed to find that he shouldn't be fired based on the findings. What's the problem? He's just whining. And now he's trying to get a bigger stage.

    We have due process for a reason, and part of it is an investigation, that has to meet certain standard of evidence, without committing another crimes in the process. Witch or heretic burning is a terrible part of a human history, that should never repeat again.

I didn’t vote, but the accusations part was from years ago and described as resolved / ruled on. Not a likely catalyst for the recent departure.

  I'm not sure why he's quitting then. That's exactly what he brought up in his resignation blog post.

    You are not sure why he is quitting. After all, it was just a little Title IX boogie. Well, there would be the swastikas and the bags of feces. These aren't traditional welcoming gifts anywhere I know of. Let's see, pulling fire alarms, pulling speaker wires, being spit on, more investigations ... It's all right there, in the article. In case you are still not sure why he's quitting.

      A few of those things listed are crimes and should be (and probably were) investigated. There's no guarantee he should feel 'welcomed'. He wants a safe space to spout his views and is complaining when others speak out about him. He's a whining hypocrite.

        That's basically what the woke types are doing: they are whining about being oppressed, that they need a safe space to spout their views, but complain when others speak out about them. They're whining hypocrites.
