In an email to students and faculty on Wednesday, Ms Shafik wrote that she has overseen a "period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community".
Yeah that's the most essential part of running a university, is you gotta overcome any divergent views
"This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community."
Imagine if they were in pieces, in a rubble strewn ditch somewhere. Or buried under a bunch of concrete. But yeah having your decisions criticized must be tough too.
“It has been distressing - for the community, for me as president and on a personal level - to find myself, colleagues, and students the subject of threats and abuse.”
Yeah I mean imagine if the police came up and tackled and pepper sprayed you
That would certainly be distressing if that had happened
Lady: NONE OF THIS IS ABOUT YOU. It wasn't back when it was happening, and it still isn't, now.
