The statement 'This is so ridiculous and embarrassing in particular for those of us who are graduates of Columbia law' is a critique of the Columbia Law Review's Administrative Board's decision to call for exam cancellation due to recent campus events. The tone is dismissive and critical, and the content directly addresses the decision made by the student editors in response to perceived violence and disruption on campus.
- The statement potentially does harm by dismissing the concerns of the students as 'ridiculous' and 'embarrassing,' which could undermine the seriousness of their experiences and the context of their request. [-2]Principle 1:I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
- The statement respects the privacy and dignity of others to a limited extent. It does not attack individuals directly but criticizes the collective decision of the student editors, which could be seen as a lack of respect for their judgment and experiences. [-1]Principle 2:I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
- The statement does not promote understanding or empathy. It dismisses the concerns of the students without engaging with the substance of their experiences or the context provided in their statement. [-2]Principle 4:I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
- The statement does not acknowledge the possibility of legitimate distress among the students, nor does it correct or challenge its own perspective against the detailed claims made by the students. [-1]Principle 5:I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
