#3 /\ Thanks for the link to Ringside and "Foreign policy realism, unrealism, and surrealism."

This Washington Post obituary of Henry Kissinger includes the following passage:

In his comprehensive biography of Dr. Kissinger, journalist Walter Isaacson came to the conclusion that he “had an instinctive feel for power and for creating a new global balance that could help America cope with its withdrawal syndrome after Vietnam. But it was not matched by a similar feel for the strength to be derived from the openness of America’s democratic system or for the moral values that are the true source of its global influence.”

(Emphasis added)

Could his systematic selling of American industry out to China represent an example ?

#4 Getting rid of this clueless and amoral harpy would be a good start. But there is plenty of rot at Penn and Harvard.

The old-fashioned word salads just don't work when there is a real moral crisis.

#6 Liz will step down right after Trudeau and Maduro pack it in. Leftists never step down. They have no conscience and no shame.

Agreed - if the goal is to restore normalcy, it's gonna take thousands of firings, not just the occasional figurehead.

#14 From Frank G’s link:

Announcement from Chair of Board of Trustees: “I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania. She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law.”

#15 Scott Bok, chairman of the university’s board of trustees, shared a letter with the UPenn community Saturday afternoon, announcing that Magill voluntarily handed in her resignation. She will retain her position as a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law.

“It has been my privilege to serve as President of this remarkable institution,” Magill said. “It has been an honor to work with our faculty, students, staff, alumni, and community members to advance Penn’s vital missions.”

Following the announcement, Bok also tendered his immediate resignation.

“Today, following the resignation of the University of Pennsylvania’s President and related Board of Trustee meetings, I submitted my resignation as Chair of the University’s Board of Trustees, effective immediately,” Bok said in a statement. “While I was asked to remain in that role for the remainder of my term in order to help with the presidential transition, I concluded that, for me, now was the right time to depart.”

Both departures come after a bipartisan group of 74 congressmen urged Magill, Harvard University president Claudine Gay, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology president Sally Kornbluth to step down in light of their contentious testimonies on Capitol Hill earlier this week.

When asked to directly answer whether calling for the genocide of Jews would violate university policy, Magill said “it is a context-dependent decision” for UPenn. “If the speech becomes conduct. It can be harassment, yes,” she added.
