Fearless or Foolish: Michael Roth's Stance on Trump's Campus Policies
Michael Roth, the Jewish president of Wesleyan University, has been vocal in his opposition to President Trump's campus policies.
Roth has negotiated with his opponents and stated that Jews should not support Trump, yet he still maintains his position. He recently delivered a lecture on another campus, outlining reasons why academia should stand up to Trump's policies.
Roth said, "No s–t, Sherlock. That's part of what I'm doing," in response to a colleague's comment about his use of Yiddish words and "Jewish accent" in the lecture.
Roth's approach is to constantly remind his critics of his identity, as he told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in a recent interview.
