They thought it would never happen. But here we are. Wax has really stepped over the line this time. When she invited a white nationalist to campus, we suspended her. When she said that black students are less driven, we docked her pay. She seemed doomed to a cycle of unsavory comments and slaps on the wrist. But some topics are just too far, and at a certain point tenure can’t save you anymore. For example, if you lament the killing of kids on twitter. So, she’s gone. We’ll miss you, you crazy kid. Stay safe out there.
