To the Editor:
Given the outpouring of concern for the postelection well-being of college students, it’s always surprising how little attention is paid to the Republican students on campus. How must they feel when their teachers cancel class because students are distraught over the election results?
How about when their university president goes on a major cable show, as the president of Wesleyan University did, and openly communicates his disdain for President-elect Donald Trump? What kind of environment does this create on campus for students who hold divergent views from the professors who grade their papers, and the university president who makes policy decisions concerning their rights?
A little more respect for Republican students is in order whether or not administrators and university presidents agree with them.
