I disagree. The associate department head named in the statement linked it on Twitter, immediately following up his comments with

> I very much welcome feedback from the participants who brought this to our attention: that's why I tagged @gregkh . Obviously, we would appreciate any guidance as to how we can get the Univ. of Minnesota contribution ban lifted.

This is pretty clearly one of their main interests in moving fast here. https://twitter.com/lorenterveen/status/1384954220705722369

What's your interest in "fast" here?

I don't understand the question. By fast I mean that they had a statement up on the website within 24 hours and the associate head of the department is already pinging members of the kernel team on Twitter to ask how they can get unbanned. That's moving very quickly by academic standards.
