In his position as Chair of the Liberal Studies department, in addition to his role in Eugene Lang college, Paul has made significant positive contributions to us, his former students, to the New School more broadly, and the greater intellectual discourse more broadly still. Terminating his position is a foolhardy move that The New School can ill-afford to make if it wants to recover from the institutional tailspin it finds itself in. Therefore we urge you to reconsider and retract it.
