Chicago-based university president bemoans Trump's win to students -- then catches himself

The president of a Chicago area university has apologized after telling students he was discouraged and disheartened over people who voted for Donald Trump.

Writer Laurie Higgins of Breakthrough Ideas denounces Roosevelt University President Ali Malekzadeh's email calling it inappropriate.

She complains that Leftists have gotten to the point where they don't know the difference between appropriate and inappropriate.

“That a university president would issue a public statement saying, ‘oh, woe is us, the election was lost to Republicans,’ that he wouldn't have seen that as inappropriate is a sign of their presumptuousness, their arrogance, their lack of respect for people."

Higgins says Malekzadeh's follow-up email may be because he remembered

that the presidents of MIT and Penn State lost their jobs for inappropriate statements.

"And he's probably looking at that and saying, ‘oh, yikes,’ shaking in his boots that he might be next. ‘So, I'd better issue that apology forthwith before I lose my job.’

Campus Reform notes that President Malekzadeh is wholly devoted to the diversity, equity and inclusion ideology.
