NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

I think this misses a key part of how academia works in practice. He’s a senior colleague (not at her university) who would have influence over her career. He also described himself as a mentor. You don’t need to be at someone’s institution (in academia) to hold power over someone’s career.
I have no sympathy for any of Summers’ comments. But universities should not cut ties with people whose comments and/or private associations they find odious, even when they are right. If he violated either the law or university regulations, fine. Otherwise, not so much.
Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.
