Some thoughts on Carla Hayden’s firing:

There is likely “nothing personal” against Hayden in President Trump’s action, except the ongoing intention to sideline, silence, and punish those who dare to represent the best in their fields through imaginative, enthusiastic, and more truly diverse leadership. The vast overreach involved in the new “epistemic secession”—related to tribal epistemology– into a “remaking” of the nation’s universities, cultural institutions, and even its primary library of record, is the driving destructiveness that causes leaders like Carla Hayden to be dismissed.
