Curious how people will react to this.
Either the current predictions of wokeness hysteria calming down are correct and this kind message will be the new standard, or we could be seeing this dean making a public apology in a few days about how her words have caused indelible harm to systemically disadvantaged communities and how she will dedicate the rest of her life to listening and learning about those she harmed through her ignorance and bigotry.
- gnicholas 4y agoMy guess is the Dean's letter, which is well-researched and filled with citations to CA and federal law, will be referenced by administrators at other schools. I don't think it will become as well-known as the Chicago Principles, but it will be used to give legal heft to such principles. Of course, some schools and administrators will completely ignore it. But I doubt the Dean will be walking this back. Stanford's President took the unusual move of signing his name to the original apology, and he has surely reviewed this letter. He's in her corner on this (at least as long as he remains president...).
- wrycoder 4y agoI agree that the dean's letter is a fine document that should set a standard. Hopefully, many people here on HN will take the time to click through and read it. I hope you are right regarding the outcome.
