Sexual harassment and discrimination are big problems in orchestras and in music schools.
This issue has also arisen in litigation against U of M School of Music. Many others as well.

When the Speaker of the House has to kiss the backside of a four times indicted former president just to keep his job, we know it's time to elect a new House.

If anything this law dean has gone overboard in allowing student and faculty attacks on 'Zionists' (i.e. many but not all Jews).
This is what he got in return, in his own home.

This document that just landed in my inbox said a lot to me about the idea of America

It is the Manhattan DA’s court calendar for next week & if you look closely you will see a familiar name mixed in with ordinary folks who also have court appearances

If AI can't write a legal brief without citing cases that don't exist, it shouldn't pick bombing targets. Defense contractors will try to push this on the U.S. military next.

Huh? It's his private property. He asked her to leave. She leaves. That's the law. She can exercise her First Amendment right to give speeches against Israel (and her law dean) on the street outside. Law professors, right or left, who teach students 'alternative law' encourage…

Do they teach property law at UC Berkeley Law? Criminal law?
