Title: A sad day on Middlebury College campus

URL: http://addisonindependent.com/201703sad-day-middlebury-campus/

Collection: Middlebury Web Archives

Description: In this editorial for The Addison Independent, Ata Anzali, a professor of religion, reflects on the events of the March 2nd protest. He looks back on his experience as a student at Iran Polytechnic University, specifically on an occasion when right-wing student groups prevented the reformist Abdol-Karim Soroush from speaking. He argues that by denying Murray the chance to speak, student protesters at Middlebury "took the tremendous amount of freedom that they had for granted," especially by not paying attention to the fragility of such rights in a global and historical context.

Title: 5 Courses At Middlebury College That Will Send Your Face Through A Desk

URL: http://www.dailywire.com/news/14222/5-courses-middlebury-college-will-send-your-face-elliott-hamilton/

Collection: Middlebury Web Archives

Description: Written in the aftermath of the student protest that disrupted Charles Murray's lecture on March 2nd, 2017, this article responds to the incident by singling out five courses from Middlebury's catalog that the author deems especially symptomatic of the intellectual climate which (in his view) impaired Murray's exercise of free speech. He describes these courses as "categorically insane." They are overwhelmingly drawn from Middlebury’s Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies program. The courses listed include Laurie Essig's 'Feminist Blogging' and 'White People', Ata Anzali's 'The Qu'ran and the Feminist Subject', C. Thomsen's 'Queering Food: Race, Place, and Social Justice', and Heidi Grasswick's 'Feminist Epistemologies'. Notably, one of these professors had publicly voiced criticism of the student protest at the time of this article’s publication (Ata Anzali, in an editorial for the Addison Independent on March 3rd 2017). Students in one of the classes criticized in the article, 'Queering Food: Race, Place, and Social Justice', composed a zine responding to the article and its reader comments, a physical copy of which can be found in Special Collections. They argue that the author's and commenters' attempts to "simultaneously mock our class as well as broader attempts to name and eradicate racism" demonstrate just as grave a lack of intellectual good faith as that of which the author is accusing the Middlebury protesters.

Description: From website: "On March 2, 2017, Charles Murray attempted to give a talk, which was to have been followed by a question and answer session, in Wilson Hall on the Middlebury College campus. When student protestors disrupted the talk, Murray and Middlebury College Prof. Allison Stanger, who was to moderate the Q & A, moved to a video studio that had been set up for the occasion so that Murray could give his talk with questions to follow by Stanger. Interested viewers submitted questions using Twitter, which preserved some of the interactive nature of the event that was planned."

Collection: Middlebury Web Archives

Description: A statement, signed by 21 Middlebury students, supporting Elizabeth Dunn. The writers and signatories argue that Dunn's actions, while controversial, should be understood as motivated by "care and respect" for the community they live in. The authors argue that Dunn's resort to extrajudicial methods is evidence of the inadequacy of those methods to support survivors of sexual assault. They suggest that a restorative justice approach is the only ethical and effective way to respond to the situation.

Description: This editorial by the current and former leadership of 'It Happens Here' expresses solidarity with Elizabeth Dunn, and criticizes what they see as a double standard between the administration's view of Dunn's free speech (and the speech of student activists during the Charles Murray protests) vs. Murray's own free speech, and other examples of what the authors take to be oppressive speech in academic contexts. They argue that Middlebury's administrators defend free speech where it does not threaten those in positions of privilege, but are willing to punish such speech when it does threaten existing power structures.

Collection: Middlebury Web Archives

Description: An article published for a national news audience, describing Elizabeth Dunn's 'list of men to avoid' and speculating on the disciplinary measures that Dunn might face for publishing it. It discusses the possibility that Dunn's actions themselves may have violated the rules of Title IX, by circumventing the official channels for assault allegations and creating a 'hostile environment' for those named on the list. The author criticizes such a broad construal of the hostile environment criterion, arguing that it seems to dampen Dunn's right to free speech. However, he evinces skepticism of the allegations on the whole.
