For comments on Concordia, see http://www.safs.ca/jan2005/furedy.html, And for general advice to those who think that submitting to threats is a way of avoiding them, see Kipling’s “Davengeld” (see e.g., http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/920 ; for the text of the poem, see http://whitewolf.newcastle.edu.au/words/authors/K/KiplingRudyard/verse/english_history/danegeld.html ; and for last stanza of this poem substitute “university” for “nation”, and the poem applies directly to universities).
