From WSJopinion: Nearly two years ago, I wrote in these pages, 'I survived cancellation at Princeton.' I was wrong. Whoever you are and whatever your beliefs, this should terrify you, writes Joshua Katz.
Wonder Land: Despite repeated cries of threats to"our democracy," a political fix for November won’t repair the damage progressives have done to the U.S. Images: Getty Images/MG21/The Met Museum/Vogue Composite: Mark Kelly, “I survived cancellation at Princeton.” I was wrong. The university where I taught for nearly a quarter of a century and which promoted me to the tenured ranks in 2006, has revoked my tenure and dismissed me.
The issues around my termination aren’t easy to summarize. What is nearly impossible to deny is that I have been subjected to “,” with the university relitigating a long-past offense—I had a consensual relationship with a 21-year-old student—for which I was already suspended for a year without pay well over a decade after my offense. This was, I emphasize, a violation of an internal university rule, not a Title IX matter or any other crime.
