Yale’s ‘shrieking girl’ and the rush to judgement

Hmmm........except that the starting point of all this kerfuffle was the professor's partner sending out an email suggesting that the authority to decide whether a Halloween costume is offensive should be in the hands of the student body, not the university administration. Shrieking Girl was arguing against this, thus taking the strange position of deliberately seeking to be powerless.

"Who has the power?" is indeed the right question. Now that Nicholas Christakis was forced to resign his position, while the girl who shrieked at him was not, is it clear who has the power?
