No prosecutions, and I doubt any expulsions. No reason for disrupters to stop.

Interesting statement from an assumed liberal President of UT-Austin. One of if not the most liberal cities in Texas that I’ve visited or lived. I don’t miss the traffic and I live in the burbs of atlanta now.

He sounds pretty reasonable.

you know who your masters are because they are the ones that must be obeyed...

so trash pro lifers, trash trumpers, trash country music fans, trash all Christians, trash white people, trash the police, trash anti transgender athletes and you will get burned at the stake figuratively...

but don't say anything bad about the jews....

I agree. For me I’m quite fine with someone in the middle that will actually listen to the arguments in both sides.
As for the protests, it’s outlined in the school rules and he is ensuring those rules are followed so those choosing to get an education can do just that.
