Professor Amy Wax and the Brownshirts on Campus

The University of Pennsylvania has no shame.

Recently a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School in league with a professor at the University of San Diego Law School made bold to write an essay for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Her name is Amy Wax, and I have no idea what her politics might be. That she has gained tenure at Penn suggests that she is a liberal, but that is about all I know about her. If she were teaching when I was in college back in the 1960s she almost certainly would have been a liberal. There were very few conservatives back then.

What I can tell you is that she is in very hot water today with vociferous students on campus and with her colleagues on the faculty. There have been demands that she shut down and ship out. In fact, the dean of her law school asked her to take a leave of absence next year and stop teaching a class to first-year students, who are presumably still very impressionable. He explained that he was under “pressure” to oust her. When she objected, he explained that he was a “pluralistic dean” who had to accommodate “all sides,” though apparently not her side.
