A private college decided that it did not like the public statements of an incoming non-tenured senior lecturer. They told him, in a public report, that similar behavior would not be countenanced in the future. They did not fire him. They did not dock him any pay. They did not require him to apologize. He decided that he could not live within those restrictions, so he left. Then, he acts as if he is a martyr to free speech. Not in my book.
Mr. Shapiro's efforts to compare the treatment he received from Georgetown Law with the treatment of TENURED faculty is something that he could only do if he were (a) ignorant or (b) trolling. Mr. Shapiro is not ignorant.
