I just sent the following email to @WSJ. "Thank you for inviting me to serve as a subject matter expert to answer audience questions in the Diversity+Business newsletter. At this time, I would like to withdraw my name and likeness from your newsletter....

I – like many others - am appalled and concerned about this sexist article published in the WSJ on December 11: https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-there-a-doctor-in-the-white-house-not-if-you-need-an-m-d-11607727380

This article should never have been published. It is highly offensive to all of us who have earned doctorates. It is also extremely elitist. As a result, I am unwilling to support any diversity initiatives backed by the WSJ – it would be hypocritical for me to do so."

For the record, differentiating @WSJ and @WSJopinion in order to protect “real” journalism from the taint of that writer’s misogynistic and elitist dribble is absurd. I’m a business school professor for goodness sakes. A room in the same house is burning.
