Meanwhile Dr. "Kneecap white men/White lives don't matter" Gopal is still ruling the roost at Cambridge, and the Daily Mail was forced to pay damages and her legal costs for criticising her, and print a full page apology.
The University of Cambridge, of course, defended her every utterance, because of "free speech".
To play devil's advocate, when you champion free speech, you have to defend even the most deplorable among you, lest your own rules be used against you. Now the Daily Mail having to pay damages is bullshit, everyone should be open to criticism, that's also part of free speech.
That would be relevant if the universities championed free speech for non-SJWs. But they don't, they do the opposite. Championing free speech means defending the speech of people you disagree with.

No disagreement from me there. Academic institutions have been poisoned by leftism and authoritarianism for several decades now.
