How to stand up to the establishment

As you could expect there has been an outcry, especially as New College has been very left leaning. But Rufo and one of the other new trustees decided to have an open meeting with any interested staff member and student. Scores and scores turned up.

But the Provost and President tried to stop the meeting, on the basis of a vague threat made by e-mail. You’ll see in the video below how Rufo just refuses to be cowed by them, and points out that the threat was against them, and they’re happy to continue, and the importance of not rewarding those who make threats.

Rufo won, and the meeting was held. The lesson is to stand up to bullies.
