Mostly a journalist (CSMonitor Europe/Canada editor), a bit of a lawyer (but IANYL) and IT pro. Keen on free flow of information.

Let's be clear: Jordan Lasker's scandal is MUCH worse than that of Harvard's Claudine Gay, which the NYT covered for days. Gay wasn't fired. Bryan Pesta was. Jordan Lasker could never be hired.
