I am hoping that provocation inspires him to inquire into my great-great grandparents because I honestly don't know much about them. — PolitiTweet.org

After rereading my California feature with the perspective that time affords, I must admit that @hiltzikm is as wrong about it as I thought right after I published it. https://t.co/1yhiE3FWz2 — PolitiTweet.org

@GoodVerngood I think the relevant judges would be fine with what I'm envisioning but I could be wrong — PolitiTweet.org

@GoodVerngood So what, procedurally, keeps the lawyers unhappy without chilling speech? — PolitiTweet.org

What's preferable: A) the status quo B) alternate reality where GOP and Democratic insiders could gather in a smoke-filled room and agree that neither Trump nor Biden will be their 2024 nominee. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@GoodVerngood Is your position that every complaint should result in a paid suspension and months long investigation or that sometimes such an approach would be excessive in a speech-chilling manner? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@GoodVerngood And in my estimation, a dean reviewing a complaint about a faculty member's speech for an hour and concluding that the speech is clearly and unambiguously protected under a free speech policy meets the due process threshold owed a complainant. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@GoodVerngood I don't follow. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@GoodVerngood Universities should be willing to adjudicate those cases, if necessary, to protect free speech, rather than chilling free speech to guard against frivolous lawsuits — PolitiTweet.org

@wesyang And also run afoul of the very sunset of people inclined to file complaints — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
As well, institutions could lay out the actual threshold for e.g. harassment and discourage complaints that don't meet that threshold, rather than encouraging all complaints from stakeholders, as many DEI offices do, preferring high volume. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
The alternative is to summarily dismiss many complaints, when the speech at issue is clearly protected by law or the free speech protections of the institution. The idea that months-long probes are needed to evaluate, e.g., single tweets is absurd. These are bad-faith probes. — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed they will presume bad faith, because they can't conceive of engagement in public discourse that isn't primarily aimed at advancing the ends of a particular political tribe––one way among many that people error by presuming something is zero sum when it can be positive sum. — PolitiTweet.org

Every article is properly subject to criticism & disagreement, but it's disheartening to see a journalist as consistently careful, thoughtful and rigorous as @emilybazelon subject to vicious personal attacks and wildly uncharitable untruths about what motivates her. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@CleanupWokeland I didn't say they should "never" be investigated. Some speech really does plausibly constitute lawful harassment, for example. But lots of investigations target speech that is clearly protected by law or policy. — PolitiTweet.org

@GoodVerngood @jonathanchait If you think what animates my defending free speech, which I've been doing for 20 years, is a desire to let faculty punish abusive administrators, which I thought of a week ago, you haven't been following my work very closely. — PolitiTweet.org

@christinkallama I have done a great deal of speaking to students and faculty and their free speech concerns are legion. I haven't talked to many staff members. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@christinkallama @AAUP As a general matter I favor more faculty power in governance. I offered a particular proposal to protect free speech from administrators because of how commonly they violate the law and their own policies. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@christinkallama Yes I agree, and I have thoughts on what free speech policies are for. But my general proposition is that whatever the policy is at an institution, faculty should be empowered to step in when administrators violate that policy. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@christinkallama I agree with Shapiro that it was a badly phrased tweet that communicated his meaning poorly. That doesn't bear on whether the free speech policy protected it. Nor does it bear on whether faculty should be empowered to discipline administrators who violate free speech policies — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@christinkallama So do you think the person in that position enjoys the protections of Georgetown's free speech policy or does not? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@christinkallama @AAUP My position is that changes should be made so that faculty have the power to investigate, discipline, or fire any administrator who violates free speech or academic freedom policies. Why do you oppose that empowerment of faculty scholars? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@timgill924 @w4est I don't understand the question. Perpetuate what? And what are "socialist positionings"? — PolitiTweet.org
