“you tried to hurt me, but you ended up hurting the law school and you ended up hurting the students”

I had the pleasure of being interviewed on the podcast Cancelled, hosted by Rob Rosen and Desma Simon. My segment was about 30 minutes long, and we covered not only my situation at Cornell Law School, but also developments more broadly in higher education.

“cancel culture is meant to silence the people who don’t have protection, who don’t have power, who don’t have a platform”

On Friday, July 24, 2020, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by FOX Business' Gerry Baker on "WSJ at Large" regarding cancel culture. The interview was enjoyable for at least a couple of reasons.

Polling: Cancel Culture Is Real and Silences Conservatives Most

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 22, 2020 30 Comments

Here we go again, the great debate over whether "cancel culture" is real. It is real, as I wrote in my op-ed at Real Clear Politics, Cancel Culture Is Real. The people claiming cancel culture is not a real thing, that it's just a gripe of people who don't like being criticized, almost always are those on the giving, not receiving, end -- the people on campuses and in the culture who hold power in given institutions.

I was interviewed by Virginia Allen for The Daily Signal's podcast regarding the issues I'm facing at Cornell Law School, and issues facing academia and the nation more generally regarding the Black Lives Matter Movement.

I appeared earlier today on the Ben Shapiro Radio Show to talk about the panic sweeping the country as it is playing out at Cornell Law School. The audio is below. You can see my prior posts for background:

Thank you for your support in this time of cultural purge

So there I was, minding my own business, enjoying my newborn second grandaughter (did I mention that?), when shit rolled downhill at me in the form of fury from some Cornell Law School faculty, alumni, and students, because I told some hard truths and expressed some tough opinions about the start of the organized Black Lives Matter Movement and the recent rioting and looting.

Cornell campus climate “so far beyond political correctness”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 12, 2020 49 Comments

I appeared last night on the Laura Ingraham show to talk about my post, There’s an effort to get me fired at Cornell for criticizing the Black Lives Matter Movement. Much of the conversation turned on a Statement issued late yesterday afternoon by Cornell Law School Dean Eduardo M. Peñalver defending my academic freedom and stating that no disciplinary action would be taken, but otherwise condemning me.

I was asked by Cornell media production people to appear in a video discussing the current coronavirus crisis. Now that was a shock. I'm not used to being promoted by Cornell. So I behaved myself, I didn't want them to regret it.

Op-Ed: “Activists push idea that Israel’s behind the coronavirus pandemic”

Regular readers may remember my Thursday, April 9th research post, Investigation: How Anti-Israel Activists Are Hijacking The Coronavirus Crisis And Turning It Against Israel. Though the original post clocked in at close to 10,000 words, we managed to distill it down; the short version was published today in JNS.

Washington Times: “Meet the Cornell law professor who tracked Elizabeth Warren’s missteps”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 06, 2020 49 Comments

Elizabeth Warren has suspended her campaign for president. She's not going away, though, she's obviously maneuvering for something behind the scenes, hence her unwillingness to endorse either Bernie or Biden at this time. What does she want? It could be a V.P. slot, but Bernie or Biden would be out of their minds to do that.

Impeachment: Republican Senators “recognize the trial … as an attempted political decapitation”

My Cornell University theme song is Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams:

I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known, don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone.

Nothing will be gained by appeasing Democrats on impeachment witnesses

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 21, 2020 28 Comments

Consider me blessed. I was traveling and then attending to personal matters most of today, so I didn't get to watch the Senate impeachment trial proceedings. What did I miss? Adam Schiff and other Democrats scratching their nails on a blackboard?

Elizabeth Warren hid her lucrative legal practice because it was “contrary to her political narrative”

I appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on December 17, 2019, to talk about Elizabeth Warren's legal practice, while also a professor at Harvard Law School, in which she made almost $2 million. It's a topic I have discussed on Tucker's show before (here and here).

I'm really not thrilled with the Featured Image. I look McSmirky. But it's the only close up of me at the podium I have from my lecture last night at the invitation of the Sharon (MA) Republican Town Committee.
