This episode with Professor Finkelstein cuts through the dense fog surrounding "poisonous speech." We dissect the subtle boundaries of expression within the hallowed grounds of academia. Debating the responsibilities that come with safeguarding both speech and civility, we grapple with the selective enforcement of these ideals, akin to the challenges faced in applying Title IX. This nuanced conversation doesn't just spotlight the problems; it probes the selective application of protections, all while questioning how these measures shape our university communities.
