DP. Antisemitic events at Harvard (all links to Harvard Crimson): https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/2/20/harvard-antisemitic-image-apology/ https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/4/3/kestenbaum-harvard-trump-funding-jews-discrimination/ https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/4/30/task-force-reports/ |
I understand plenty. Don't pretend they have no money to educate students. You're a sad case ifvthat's what you're thinking. |
Trump is so concerned about anti- semitism that he gave this guy a full pardon: ![]() |
Thanks for the links. The things described in that editorial are wrong. In some cases, consequences happened -- eg, an employee was fired. In others, something should have been done more or sooner. BUT, despite the editorial being recent, all of the incidents cited are more than a year old. That would indicate that Harvard has righted the disciplinary ship, because the underlying issue has not eased up at all. Both Kestenbaum (the editorial writer) and a couple of posters above are wrong: Garber cannot "he can simply dip into its $53 billion endowment to fund the research." Endowments are not just big slush funds able to be spent when and how a university president wants. They are under a gazillion different restrictions depending on what strings were attached to donations. Destroying the university is wrong over a more-or-less solved problem is insanity. Kestenbaum is justifiably angry over inappropriate behavior against Jews by a few perpetrators. Note though that while these incidents should never have happened, they were hardly widespread when you consider a community of more than 50,000 over a year and a half. Trump is angry, and who knows why. They both want retribution, and the sort of jolting, destructive retribution they want is out of line and inappropriate to the situation. Oddly, both the antisemitic incidents and Trump's quest are both manifestations of the out-of-control follow-on to cancel culture -- the "your side is wrong so you need to be destroyed" craziness that is also lies at the heart of the Israeli-Gazan conflict. |
Has anyone shown any overt acts of antisemitism that were actually sponsored and condoned by Harvard's administration? And can anyone explain the hypocrisy of Trump coddling and pardoning antisemites? |
Imagine if they properly documented all the abuse pro-Palestinian protestors received. The number of incidents and the severity of them would absolutely dwarf anything "antisemitic" both at Harvard and elsewhere |
Harvard won't be destroyed for touching their funds. It's nonsense to spout that. They are NOT ENTITLED to tax payer monies. Your centers of power are being put on notice. Don't like it, too bad. |
With sll the "tax the rich" crowd here, I'm game!
Harvard's Endowment is $53 Billion. It costs $18 Billion per day to run fed.gov Let's tax the endowment at 100%. That will run the federal government and pay the welfare checks for 3 days. Pay up!!! |
PP. I 100% agree. Steven Pinker wrote a fantastic piece criticizing both Harvard’s flaws and Trump’s actions. Single best thing I’ve read about the situation. Here’s a gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/opinion/harvard-university-trump-administration.html?unlocked_article_code=1.JU8.4-Kl.FZoUTr6KXxe9&smid=url-share |
DP. Look, I’m no fan of much of what happens at elite universities, but on balance they do FAR more good than harm to America. Reform, not destruction, is the correct course of action here. |
What good? Spread marxist agitprop, race bait and brainwash their students on collectivism all damn day?
We have DCUM for that. Harvard is redundant. |
Centers of power? Listen to you, spoken like a true dominionist who wants to Christianize all areas of society. |
Yes, Harvard has recently produced such noted Marxists as Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Pat Toomey, Dan Crenshaw, Elise Stefanik, John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch. |
