Northwestern Provost Jonathan Holloway does not cover himself in glory here. While he states, correctly, that the crank will not be evicted from campus, he also states that Kanazawa’s “scholarship presents ideas that are antithetical to values that Northwestern holds dear.” But it is not the job of university administrators to comment on scholarship, and rule some of its ideas out of instiutional bounds.
