And, oh, let's go after ... professors.

Yeah. So edgy. So radical.

How about going after Zuckerberg? Giuliani? Nunes?

But, no, those people might punch back when you fight them.

Cowards.

Those guys get a ton of criticism. Universities have been deciding to oust people for public outrage. Zuckerberg owns most of his company. Elected officials are removed by voting, and their critics are trying to reduce those votes.

Edit: My point is that all these people receive criticism. Universities seem to act on it more often, but they don’t have to. They choose to.
