Thanks for telling us. Do you know if Kipnis characterization of the backlash Jackson suffered is correct? "All hell broke loose on social media. ... The university swiftly announced that an ad hoc committee would be convened to investigate. Its members found Jackson guilty of bullying the grad-student editor into publishing views he disagreed with, and the journal guilty of editorial mismanagement (although, Jackson said, the editorial practices followed were the same as they’d always been). Jackson was removed from the journal, and its funding was cut." Some writers have a way of magnifying things. 3-4 people complaining is enough for "all hell broke loose" according to some.
