“I want to suggest, with all due respect for the venerable right to protest — which I would defend to the end — that it is a serious mistake for a leader of the protest against Birgeneau’s proposed honorary degree to claim that Birgeneau’s decision not to come represents a ‘small victory.’ It represents nothing of the kind. In keeping with the views of many others in higher education, I regard this outcome as a defeat, pure and simple, for Haverford — no victory for anyone who believes, as I think most of us do, in both openness to many points of view and mutual respect.”
“我无意冒犯庄严的抗议权——那是我愿毕生去捍卫的,但我还是想说,那位反对授予柏吉诺名誉学位的抗议领袖犯了一个严重错误——他说,柏吉诺决定不出席这场毕业典礼代表着一场‘小胜’。它所代表的绝不是那么一回事。就像许多从事高等教育的人士一样,我也认为对于哈弗福德学院来说,这样的结果是不折不扣的失败。任何一个认为有必要聆听多种观点并相互尊重的人——我想我们大多是这样的人,都不会觉得这是场胜利。”
