“...how Fascist dictatorship works: first make an example of one person or institution, that will cow the others who will keep their mouths shut and hope they won’t become the next target.”
“What Columbia is doing is deeply shameful, but so is the silence of its peer institutions.”
“there has been zero support of any kind from other institutions”

Michael Roth, President of Wesleyan University:
“that’s the classic collaborationist dilemma, right? ... you collaborate with authoritarians who you know are in the wrong, in order to keep them from doing worse stuff”
“Like I have a restaurant and if I collaborate with the Nazis and don’t let any Jews eat here, then the guys who wash dishes will still have jobs. As you know, that slope is very slippery. Appeasement doesn't end well.”

“when you engage in the collaboration, you actually encourage them to do even worse stuff.” concludes Michael Roth, President of Wesleyan University
Robert Kuttner, co-founder at The American Prospect agrees:
“Universities are hiding in self-censorship...Former diversity offices have been remained offices of “Belonging” or “Collaboration,” as the University of Colorado calls its former diversity program.
Collaboration is all too apt a name.”
