And you’ll never hear the end of it from bubbeh as she compares you to cousin Avi who went to Penn for the rest of your life Jewish kids who go to those schools do not go there out of a burning multigenerational desire to go to “big state”. It’s very different from multigenerational Alabama and ole miss families. Those are back up schools for Jewish people |

People have shi**y opinions and attitudes at those schools also. And, to be frank, the whole idea that Jewish families would abandon the Ivy League en mass is literally pipe dream. When the game gets tough they play tough too. What makes you think they'd quit the field?? |

| As if the presidents of any other college would have answered very differently. |

The Penn President is probably on her way out and literally overnight the donors will be back when they install a new leader (and would not be surprised if the new President is Jewish).

| Yes, predictably fewer but that’s because there is a dip in population. |

| DC gets the biggest say on where they go to school. I certainly would not opt for an Ivy right now. And I’m not Jewish. |

Rep. Stefanik used this hearing to distract from Liz Cheney's book which revealed that Rep. Stefanik was upset with Cheney for voting for impeachment. Apparently, some of Stefanik's constituents were writing letters to the Editor of their local papers asking why Stefanik was not taking the same principled stand as Cheney. I can't believe people are falling for it. She's actually using Jews to cover her arse.

| After the disastrous hearing and clumsy aftermath, the selection of the new Harvard president is being criticized in a rather pointed way by donor William Ackman. |

| Unfortunately Ackman went over the line. What could have been a conversation won't be had now. At least not by serious people. Idiot |

Larry Summers got into more dust-ups than Pigpen. If he's what we are measuring President Gay against then she has a long, long way to go before pulling stakes. |

| Applications likely will go up. There will be far fewer donations, though! |

He’s Jewish tho so it wouldn’t affect Jewish perception of the school — which is what this thread is about |
