A number of her “colleagues”, University administrators, minority student activist leaders, and members of the University community have demanded her resignation for her action.  They’ve, figuratively, broken out the torches and pitchforks and marched for her banishment from the “village’....the University.  They seek the ultimate punishment a University can inflict on a faculty member.....resign (or be fired) in disgrace and leave campus.....  Such demands, in my opinion, reflect a self-righteous vindictiveness which I find more offensive than Ms. Shurtz’s foolish (but not-malevolent) wearing of blackface.
