Schill can't muster the courage simply stand up for a faculty member's freedom of expression at a private party. The requirement to feed the outage mob is just too high. Weaponized offense-taking is a modern political tradition. It builds momentum to destroy institutions and people in ways that straightforward fact finding cannot. You see the evidence of that here in at least two things that the UO pres is saying: (1) the outside law firm. Hired guns can do the dirty work just as lobbyists and PR firms do for legislation. In the context of this (non) incident, it is tantamount to union busting. (2) Shill wants admins to confer with "our students and faculty members of color." There is prima facie evidence that the UO president endorses racial discrimination. White students and faculty are potentially offended too, but they are apparently disqualified on the basis of their skin color. More importantly, people of any skin color who oppose repression of free speech/expression are out.
