Good story in today's NYT by Vimal Patel, about Penn & Amy Wax. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/13/us/upenn-law-professor-racism-freedom-speech.html
The discussion of her 2017 comments and the responsive faculty open letter that I organized is unusually informative.
For anyone who’s interested, the quote from me, in the last paragraph that involves me, came from an email I sent to a lawyer from Quinn Emanuel.
Quinn was hired by Penn Law to investigate complaints against Wax, and the lawyer contacted me looking to discuss, as they put it, my “experiences with Professor Wax”. I suggested they read my public writing on the topic and offered to consider answering written questions. For whatever reason, they didn’t wind up sending any questions....
The quote in today’s NYT came from my last email to the lawyer. I forwarded some of the text of that email to Patel and gave permission for it to be quoted, which it was, accurately. For anyone who is interested in reading the full paragraph from which it came, I’m providing a screenshot here.
