Because it is completely inconceivable that women presidents of universities can possibly ever be the authors of their misfortune. It HAS to be an external force. Well, maybe it’s true. From where I sit, a continent away, at least one of them obviously didn’t get the position on her academic merit. Her other merits were much more important. Turns out that this is not enough to actually keep the job when the going gets tough. If that’s the case, then the fault is with the people who put her there.
No, I don’t think (this proves) women can’t be university presidents. I think a number of university presidents got their positions because they’re women rather than because they could do the job. The latter, lack of ability, is proving troublesome. And it probably means there’ll be less chance of women-who-actually-can getting the opportunity to prove themselves. Thus forcing the issue for ideology’s sake defeats the stated goal. It also exposes pandering and bad stewardship in and of the governing boards.

Oh gee, let me see if I can puzzle out which one you are referring to!
You are not simply a continent away; you are also, I am sure, a light year away from being qualified to be president of an Ivy League university. So it must feel good to sit in judgement on three broads who acquired such elite positions
And that is how you are meant to feel, because, of course, from a continent away, you probably didn’t realize that the smear against these women’s reputations was all part of the Zionist McCarthyism that kicked of in America after October 7th, and which (where these University presidents were concerned) was camouflaged in nonsense about DEI and plagiarism, but was absolutely meant to send a chill up the spine of university faculty everywhere as a warning to suppress protests against Israel.
