were fired, blacklisted, and personally ruined by

ashamed of yourself.

Wow, reading all these letters by NYU faculty to the office of the president is quite something. Do read them all. Highlighting one by History Professor Steven Hahn, as it encapsulates everything (in one screenshot).

1. Dear President Mills: I was shocked and outraged to learn that you ordered the NYPD in to arrest students and faculty, including my distinguished colleague David Ludden, who were engaged in a peaceful protest on Gould Plaza. I was almost as shocked and outraged by the message you then posted to the NYU community that was filled with falsehoods and self-serving justifications. It seems clear that you are far more interested in satisfying the blood thirsts of conservative donors and MAGA politicians than you are in defending the principles of university life and work, based as they are on intellectual debate and freedom of expression.
