Excellent point about publishing the names of the students. It is true that all employers will consider the reputation of the school when hiring and that includes negative reputation. Without asking, employers may just avoid hiring anyone from a school with such a perverse lack of understanding of constitutional Free Speech. By publishing the names, at least the other students will not be swept up in the reputation of a few when it is time to hire in that very small window of gathering employment offers in law school.

The Dean should be fired and the position eliminated. Every student involved should be expelled. There are several professions where intolerance has no place: education, law and medicine. These students, who already hold a Bachelor's degree at a minimum, did not demonstrate the temperament required of teachers, lawyer or paramedics.

Why not post the names as you suggest? Those that protest as they did should be willing to stand behind their actions, however reprehensible they may be. I suspect that the shout downs might be less raucous in nature if names were posted for all to see.

The students should be disciplined by the school with notations in their records for future employers and any character committee and the dean terminated forthwith for encouraging the students in their disruption of the speech.

Students who behave this way ought to be summarily expelled, not just named, and any staff involved fired. Since the 1960s, college administrators have either acted cravenly or been actively complicit in totalitarian politics of student radicals. We know where this ideology leads. We have had three centuries to see its appalling consequences. It cannot be tolerated.

Another good reason to term-limit judges.
