University Of Illinois Chancellor Responds To Hate Comments With Eloquent Essay
After Phyllis Wise endured a slew of sexist and racist attacks, the U of I chancellor finally speaks up.
Earlier this week, some U of I students hurled a series of racist and misogynistic tweets at their chancellor, Phyllis Wise, after she decided not to issue a campus-wide snow day.
Wise has responded to the attacks by publishing an essay on InsideHigherEd.com.
Making an unpopular decision and accepting the ensuing criticism is part of the job of a university leader. Whether the topic is research priorities, academic freedom, athletics, or, as it turns out, snow days, there is always a range of opinion on a college campus. And there should be, provided the campus nurtures an environment where everyone feels safe entering into the debate.
When those opinions move from civil and respectful discourse into vitriolic attacks on an individual it can be discouraging and damaging – personally and institutionally. On Monday, about a dozen students, upset that classes were not canceled because of cold weather, took to social media to criticize the decision and to attack me – in comments that were vulgar, crude and in some instances racist and sexist.
People have asked me whether the attacks disturbed me.
Yes.
Not necessarily on a personal level, because many of the comments could be dismissed as juvenile, notwithstanding the offensive language.
Not because the comments truly reflect my university. The outpouring of support from our students, my colleagues and others – including heartfelt apologies from several of those who posted comments – has shown our true nature.
What was most disturbing was witnessing social media drive a discussion quickly into the abyss of hateful comments and even threats of violence. I shudder to think what might happen if that type of vitriol were directed at a vulnerable member of our student body or university community.The negative comments, as offensive as they were, are protected speech. But what is protected expression and what is the level of discourse we as educators expect from our students can be very different things. And the size of that gap – so evident this week – is what has been most disappointing. Racist, intimidating or culturally derogatory epithets have no place in any debate in any circumstance. Of all places, a university should be home to diverse ideas and differing perspectives, where robust – and even intense – debate and disagreement are welcomed.
How do we foster such an atmosphere? Only through an unwavering and unrelenting commitment to building truly diverse communities of students and scholars. One dinner with someone who doesn't look like you and doesn't sound like you can open new worlds of ideas. You can sit in a classroom and discuss situations in Egypt or in Syria based on academic readings. But, to hear these issues explained by a classmate from that country, from her or his personal experience, in his or her voice – this is when an academic exercise can become a moment of personal transformation. That is why we say diversity is the route to excellence.
And, in fact, we are a diverse campus at Illinois, with students, faculty and staff from every state and more than 100 nations. They are a key part of what makes our university special, a community of cultures and ideas that generate original thought, outstanding research and the excitement that comes with working with the top people in their fields. But this incident shows that we still have work to do.
On Monday, Jan. 27, we held classes, as usual, at the University of Illinois. And, I hope, we all learned something.

40 DIY Valentine's Day Gifts They'll Actually Want
Forget flowers and chocolates. Make these beautifully meaningful gifts instead.
Chalkboard Heart Frames
Courtney from Crafts by Courtney made these adorable, easy-to-create chalkboard frames. With the right photo, they make the perfect gift.
Materials: wooden heart frames (from any craft store), chalkboard spray paint, sandpaper, and white chalk.
1. Spray two coats of the chalkboard paint on the frames, and allow to dry for 24 hours.
2. To give your frames a rustic and aged look, go over them heavily with sandpaper. When done, wipe down your frames with a cloth to remove the paint dust.
3. Go over the frames with a piece of white chalk, rubbing the chalk all over the frame (this sets the chalkboard). Then lightly wipe off all excess chalk with a cloth.
4. For the final touch, add some scrapbook paper for the background or stick in a photo. Then draw on the frame with chalk!
I Heart You Kitchen Towels
Give your favorite cook or foodie kitchen towels that'll remind them how much you care. Emily from Handmaker of Things shares this tutorial.
Materials craft paint in colors of your choice (towels shown embrace the gold and bright pink trend with a bit of black), letter stencils, stencil pouncer (the one pictured is from a set of 6 or 7 different sizes) or styrofoam headed paintbrush, double-sided tape, plain white kitchen towels made of cotton or linen (not terry cloth or textured; the ones pictured are from a four pack of white flour sack towels from Target, just $3,99), polka dot stencil and painters tape (optional).
1. Wash and dry your towels, then press to make sure they’re nice and flat. Lay out your towel, make sure to put either newspaper, cardboard, or some other protective surface behind it as the paint will likely bleed through.
2. Take your letter stencils and arrange them on your towel as desired. Once they’re where you want them, secure in the corners with double sided tape, so they won’t move as you add your paint. Emily created her heart stencil by folding a piece of heavy paper in half and cutting the shape.
3. Load your stencil pouncer or brush with paint. Dab some of the paint off on a piece of cardboard so you don’t have too much. Begin to dab the pouncer or brush over your stencil. Be careful to not go over the edges, keeping your color inside the letters. Continue to fill in carefully until you have nice solid color. You can also let the first coat dry and add another for more saturated hues.
4. Once paint is dry carefully remove your stencil. Wash again, delicate setting, without other clothes or items, then re-press.
You’re finished! Emily decided to create a complimentary towel with a polka dot pattern on it. To do the same, follow steps one and two. Then load the pouncer with paint and stamped it directly onto the towel to create my polka dot pattern. Polka dots not your thing? How about a fun stripe pattern? Use painters tape to create stripes. Follow all the steps, applying the paint between your tape strips.

The Definitive Ranking Of Monsters
Because some cryptids are just obviously better than others. (Non-exhaustive, but pretty exhaustive.)
Bunyip
The bunyip is a swamp-dwelling marsupial/seal-like hybrid originating in Australia.
Scoring: While visually interesting and scary to think about, the bunyip is found lacking in substantiated evidence, cool anecdotes, and modern-day application (the creature is largely a 19th century phenomenon).
Bear Lake Monster
The Bear Lake monster, residing in Bear Lake on the Utah/Idaho border, is said to, and I quote, "resemble a serpent, but with legs about eighteen inches long on which it marauds along the shoreline." Also, its size is "at least ninety feet long, at most two hundred feet and certainly not less than forty." Certainly not!
Scoring: The reporter of the original monster sightings, Joseph C. Rich, would later reveal that he made the whole story up, which is a bummer. Curiously, this did not stop sightings — the last reported incident was in 2002. A boat recreation of the monster (seen above) offered a scenic cruise around the lake for years, which is fun.
Mothman
The Mothman was/is a tall, silvery, red-eyed winged humanoid seen by a number of separate witness groups around Point Pleasant, West Virginia between 1966-1967.
Scoring: The Mothman has had a strangely widespread pop cultural presence for something with such a narrow window of reported sightings, but for the same reason lacks the believability required for sustained interest.
Beast of Bray Road
The Beast of Bray Road is a very tall bear-ish or wolf-ish creature, depending on the witness, that lives for unknown reasons on the rural Bray Road in Elkhorn, Wisconsin.
Scoring: What the Beast of Bray Road lacks in compelling evidence, uniqueness, and consistent imagery, it makes up for in being a thing that supposedly just lives on this one road in rural Wisconsin.
