Stanford Law School Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach wrote an op-ed in WSJ defending her actions at a protest early this month.
Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Tirien Steinbach, who was placed on leave after she interrupted U.S. federal judge Kyle Duncan's speech, penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal to defend her actions Thursday.
"Some protesters heckled the judge and peppered him with questions and comments. Judge Duncan answered in turn. Regardless of where you stand politically, none of this heated exchange was helpful for civil discourse or productive dialogue," she noted in her op-ed. However, in a statement penned Wednesday, Stanford Law Dean Jenny S. Martinez said that the protests violated university policy and constituted disruption rather than protest.
During her remarks, she asked if"the juice is worth the squeeze" in the context of Duncan's speech and sided with the protesters, telling him his work hurt people of color. "How we strike a balance between free speech and diversity, equity and inclusion is worthy of serious, thoughtful and civil discussion," she continued.
