2. I thought you did in an earlier post (#49)

3. Absolutely nothing wrong with a free exchange of ideas in academia; but there is a thing known as decorum. I think some in this thread are ignoring (funny that I'm the only one been accused of ignoring anything) the actual event in an attempt to push their ideology. 

 My only assertion and the one that has been called into question is that the faculty members that defied the university in such a public forum should be disciplined. I've never stated what that discipline should be, but it should be reprimand at a minimum.

Guess that "shared governance"  thing flew right over your head.

The administration could not be violating decorum by inviting Mike Pence.

Because they are "employers." 

Some employees made their company look bad. 

And that's bad for business--at a non-profit whose business is the "free exchange of ideas" and "decorum."   

Decorum really, if you have to choose between them. LOL
