The ever-controversial writer and social critic has been teaching at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts for 30 years and is one of the few faculty members there with tenure.

(Paglia identifies as transgender.) Others, including writer Conor Friedersdorf, argue that the activists’ demands pose a danger to freedom of expression. – The Atlantic
