“A political opinion expressed on Facebook or Twitter (X) or Instagram is not academic scholarship."
"You are a grown-up adult. You are responsible for your actions and any consequences thereof. Ashoka is not obliged to support you for political opinions you express in your personal capacity. You did not seek Ashoka’s consent before posting on social media, you cannot now present Ashoka with a fait accompli and expect support. Cruel as it may sound, you make your choices—and you live with the outcome."
"I am an arrogant owner’, that ‘dirty filthy capitalists don’t understand how a university runs’ (they somehow forget that the same capitalists are paying their salaries). It seems that a whole bunch of people would have their raison d’etre under question if activism was questioned. It is as if they have found a safe haven at Ashoka and have captured the institution and anyone who questions them must be attacked. I have always found this position of theirs to be spurious. I went to a liberal arts and sciences college and there was little or no activism and we got along just fine. In fact, some of us excelled."
