“In that moment, I was focused on our university’s longstanding policies aligned with the US Constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable,” Magill said in the video. “I was not focused on, but I should have been, the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate.

That’s a fair statement. It’s still a bad idea to take a vague center approach when the topic of genocide comes up, IMO. This, of all times, was the time to take a stand.
