Re: "Chinese students at U.S. colleges are being threatened and bullied by other Chinese students and groups aligned with the Chinese government. And some U.S. colleges are playing along." GW Law School prof here: The story does not really support the headline about US colleges playing along. The GW administration's response to the Olympics posters was definitely wrong, wrong, wrong. But the administration quickly realized its mistake and reversed itself. Since then, there has been no playing along. According to the story, the only subsequent playing along was on the part of the GW student senate (which refused to consider a resolution on Xinjiang), not the administration. It is no doubt true that some US colleges are flaccid in the face of Chinese government-organized bullying because they are concerned about tuition dollars or too readily believe bad-faith claims about racism, but GW, apart from that one lamentable lapse that it has learned from, is not one of them.
