Harvard Report on Israel/Palestine/Jew/Arab conflict on campus

FWIW, I do think the tone of the two reports are very different. The report on antisemitism discusses the mistreatment of pro-Palestinian students in addition to Jewish students and focuses more on "how did we get here." The report on the treatment of Arab students seems primarily focused on arguing that Arab students are *more* mistreated than Jewish students (even providing charts!), and focuses a lot on how students feel. It really reinforces the point made in the antisemitism report that the focus of admissions and teaching on racial identity has made everyone less accepting rather than less.

This is a fascinating read, not just for its relatively unvarnished description of the terrible treatment of Jewish students on campus, but the analysis of how Harvard got here, and some of it is fundamental to how the University and admissions are structured. One professor cites the transfer of power from academics to administrators. A professor is quoted as saying that students feel they must bear the weight of their identities because “that is how they sold themselves to Harvard in the application process.” One student is quoted as saying “Instead of diversity moderating people, people became more extreme.”

This seems to go to the heart of how Harvard (and many, if not most, other universities) have structured themselves in recent years. It will be very interesting to see if Harvard takes this seriously and we see any real introspection regarding how counterproductive their policies have been with respect to their stated goals.

Feelings?

Talkin’ about feelings … feelings.

Let’s be clear …

One side has been vilified as “terrorists” and attacked for decades, often subject to unimaginable abuses in a world where the U.S. interferes in foreign affairs far too often.

The other side demands to be coddled, wants to criminalize the act of loudly banging on a library door, and is enthusiastic seeing individuals deprived of their constitutional rights and their liberty if they dare to say mean things about Israel.

Harvard and other schools facing these protests are reaping the seeds they sowed through the wholesale adoption of DEI.

Rather than adopting an admission policy where they seek students willing to learn and rise through the ranks to become the respected leaders of tomorrow they select the most passionate zealots who want to use platforms like Harvard to effect restorative justice.

Because Harvard and other institutions bypassed qualified candidates and themselves participated in DEI hiring had leaders incapable of dealing with the irrational zealots they admitted or allowed on campus to spark these protests.

Instead of learning from history and working to prevent the mistakes of the past today’s students distort the principles of DEI to attempt to provide “compensation” to the descendants of aggrieved parties.

Harvard and other schools like it are doing what Bud Light did, taking brands that took decades and centuries to build and destroying them overnight.

The Harvard student body is 25% Jewish. Is it really possible to feel marginalized?

People pay shit ton of effort and money to attend the school. That's the point.

Well, these reports appear to make it pretty clear that Palestinians / Arabs / Muslims were the only ones actually facing physical attacks and threats, doxxing, etc.

It is 9.8 percent of undergrads that are Jewish..;.but 25% when looking at the entire university (i.g., including graduate schools - law, medicine, business, etc.)

The number of undergrads self reporting as muslim is about 3-4%

I think years from now we will be telling of our great grandkids and great grandkids "I remember when Harvard was one of the most prestigious universities in the country." They won't be able to fathom that Hamas University used to be a place people dreamed of attending for the superior education.

Not according to Hillel. But I do applaud the POS line. Ad hominem name calling attacks always convince the other person of your righteousness even in the face of contrary facts.
