“Well, we’re serious about stopping all forms of hate and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia,” says Magill, played by Heidi Gardner.

Troast’s Stefanik also addresses the MIT president with the same question, adding: “Keep in mind, if you don’t say yes, you’re going to make me look good, which is really hard. So I’m going to ask you directly. Do you think genocide is bad?”

Surprised by the answers, Troast’s Stefanik says: “Am I going to win this hearing? Someone’s pinching me!”
