Glad to see OP get right to the point. Universities are owned by the donors. This isn't about right or wrong. It's about pay to play. |
Live by the sword, die by the sword. She and her fellow presidents have been disciplining and harassing students for years who didn’t sufficiently embrace their political monoculture. When you create an environment where all thought is tightly policed, eventually the thought police will come for you too. |
You know about Charlottesville because it was a big deal. And McGill wasn't asked to limit speech, but asked if the calling for the killing of jews violated their code of conduct. And she along with the Harvard idiot couldn't answer the question with a simple yes or no. |
Sad. |
This is good and yet only symbolic. The roots of the problem are deep and old, encompassing faculty and staff. The donors we know are the ones that speak up, the ones that we do not know are the ones that hide behind ''anonymous" labels. The latter are the ones seeding the destruction of free speech and liberty, promoting hate, and antisemitism disguised as a false sense of justice. I speak as an alumnus of Harvard and MIT and an emeritus of Harvard. |
Tell us you have no idea what we are talking about without telling us you have no idea what we are talking about. |
Whoosh |
Probably a purple haired activist. I am amazed at the sheer lack of understanding of what the word genocide means. Watching Harvard closely. Gay even tried to clarify her disastrous testimony by saying "my truth" wasn't clear enough. "My truth"!?!? Unfortunately she told the whole world she is a perfect example of identity politics and the failures of promoting mediocre people solely on identity grounds. |
Lib cancel culture is not based on morality but on the primitive principle “friend good, enemy bad”. Don’t get mad when the conservatives imitate this. |
Mixed feelings? Seriously?? Top universities across the U.S. have gone completely off the deep end with woke-ness. Coming back to sanity is long overdue on campus. |
We can only hope so. |
LOL, yes to the "my truth" made me roll my eyes and laugh. We all know she is the poster child for DEI and believes that there are oppressor and the oppressed. It is stated in their DEI statement. And in this make-believe that Gay et al live in, Jews have been aligned with white-supremacist-colonizer-oppressors and deserve to be wiped off the map. She along with McGill would have almost been better off owning their ideology and said, "we stand behind these calls for genocide because the oppressed need to shake off (intifada) their oppressors!" If they are proud of DEI and all it stands for, they should sing it from the rafters in a pubic forum for all to see and hear. |
The symbolic act of having the Presidents leave is only first step. There will have to be structural changes at all these universities for them to get back to sanity. |
Why? Because she was so fabulous? She sure doesn’t appear to be intellectually impressive in the least. |
Yeah, such a bummer that universities can't condone the genocide of Jews without some people getting offended. Bummer!! |
