In an email to students and faculty on Wednesday, Ms Shafik wrote that she has overseen a “period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community”.

Yeah that’s the most essential part of running a university, is you gotta overcome any divergent views

“This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community.”

Imagine if they were in pieces, in a rubble strewn ditch somewhere. Or buried under a bunch of concrete. But yeah having your decisions criticized must be tough too.

“It has been distressing - for the community, for me as president and on a personal level - to find myself, colleagues, and students the subject of threats and abuse.”

Yeah I mean imagine if the police came up and tackled and pepper sprayed you

That would certainly be distressing if that had happened

Lady: NONE OF THIS IS ABOUT YOU. It wasn’t back when it was happening, and it still isn’t, now.

Good riddance and should have been sooner. Not only did she personally order violence against her students and staff, resulting in a no-confidence vote from her faculty, but her heavy-handed response to the early low-key protest is what kicked off the more forceful campus protests across the country. It’s amazing that such a failure lasted as long as she did. The other resignees were pushed out after mistakenly treating a political witch hunt by actual antisemites like a good faith discussion, this lady actually massively failed at her job and is personally responsible for the “period of turmoil” at both her campus and across the country.

She could have just let students camp on the lawn with their signs until they got tired of it.
