Another example of the hypocrisy of academics on the subject of free speech: Paul Tudor Jones, a trustee of the University of Virginia and a well-known investor, said on a panel that there will never be “as many great women investors or traders as men — period, end of story.” The reason is that they have children and their closeness to their children keeps them from the intensity required for trading. Interesting point. Now, 80 faculty members at UVa have written a letter to the UVa provost, beseeching the administration to respond to the “false and injurious” statements made by Jones. (The Washington Post has been covering the story.)
