It seems preposterous that professors "could target a student, fabricate claims against her, subject her to a Kafkaesque secret trial, ruin her life, and then, when busted, publicly apologize to her only to turn around a year later and sue her for damages caused to them.".
Counter suing a student you've publicly apologized to isn't a great use of funds. It's even worse PR for a university that has taken a major reputation hit

Critics of #MeghanMurphy claim that gender is self-determined--not biological. If so, how can an 18% gender wage gap persist (as the study asserts)?. Women simply need to self-identify as men to raise their earnings. Why don't they? . Is there more to it?.

A good thread if you want to understand how critical theory can increase the pandemic's death toll.
I did a deep dive into the ethical framework the CDC used to justify vaccinating essential workers before the elderly, even though the CDC's own models showed that this would result in preventable deaths. The framework was not very ethical.
