Quote:High-ranking college administrators nationwide are horrified by the results of the 2016 election, sending mass emails to their students to express their personal fear and outrage with Trump’s election.

At the University of Minnesota, for instance, the Dean of the College of Pharmacy sent a letter to students noting that she watched “the election returns last night with increasing shock and despair” over the fact that the voters of this country “could tolerate and even embrace a man whose campaign and actions have been so filled with hate.”

“I must admit that I am afraid, afraid personally for my three beautiful, intelligent, and innocent American grandchildren with Pakistani heritage, afraid for this country and for our place in the world,” she added.

Similarly, Oglethorpe University’s president, Lawrence Schall, wrote to his students to explain that he has “no regrets” in using his position of authority to circulate his personal opinions, saying he has issued similar statements in the past responding to some of the nation’s mass shootings.

“I have no regrets at all about that decision. I felt then and I feel now that on certain issues at certain times in our history, the failure to speak out is far more dangerous than keeping silent. Today, for me, is another one of those times,” he continued, making “clear that I express my views first as a citizen of this country.”

He then reiterated his disbelief in the American public for its choice in electing a man “whose views on civility and inclusivity are so at odds with mine and with the values of our Oglethorpe community.”
