This is a worrying announcement. I really hope they do not cave to pressure from woke activists. Whenever this happens, some people or organizations mistakenly think there is some consequence awaiting them just because some loud students or Twitter accounts are complaining. There isn’t. So don’t cave to their demands. If you do cave in, and backtrack, and apologize - there’ll be no redemption for you, just people piling on you from both sides, leaving you feeling like you should have grown a spine and defended rationality against the modern witch hunt that is cancel culture.
