More than 500 Harvard faculty members supported University President Claudine Gay in a letter to the school's board Sunday, following intense blowback from a congressional hearing about the rise in antisemitism on campus, where Gay failed to clearly state whether calls for the genocide of Jews violated the Ivy League school's rules. The Harvard Corporation and the Harvard Board of Overseers, the university's second-highest governing body, met Sunday amid mounting pressure from donors and lawmakers to remove Gay from her post.

It's not surprising that a "woke" faculty would support the brainwashing of their rich well to do woke students.
Harvard is a nest of un-American fascist professors.

500 faculty members?? Harvard isn’t that big a school. Fire all 500 and replace with 150 competent real educators.

Good, now Bill Ackman and some of the mega donors have a list. These universities are not going to change because a president is fired...they need to be cleaned out from top to bottom. I have a feeling that the Bill Ackmans of the world have the means and energy to get it done.

This cesspool will never be cleaned out. 500 Harvard professors stand with Claudine Gay and with the rabid depraved terrorists in Palestine. They won't be fired, but current and prospective parents and alumni donors should take note.

The Harvard faculty especially like that Gay used plagiarism to attain her position, since half the crap they "publish" is probably full of it. In fact, someone should check to see if the letter they all signed is mostly copied from some other source.

Which means that almost 2,000 faculty members did NOT sign it.
Big whoop.

It's time for the Alumni to step in a put a stop to this racism. These types of prof are destroying what was once an excellent university. The president should have a tiny bit of class left and retire now.

Par for the course, get together and support one of your own Affirmative Action Heroes who made the wrong biased statement and plagiarized her dissertation to get the job in the first place. Shame, shame. What is the racial makeup of the faculty members? I'm guessing an over-represention of the Sacred Cow people. Harvard needs to close their doors in disgrace.

Give them a "cause" and they'll follow it right over the cliff, like a bunch of Lemmings. They're but fools who lack critical thinking skills, and it will one day be their downfall.

student population at Harvard University is 30,631 (9,368 undergraduate and 21,263 graduate students)
Faculty and Staff? 19,500.
These 500 antisemites make up 1/39th of Harvard employees.

next question, since many graduate students(2/3 of Harvard students) are also adjunct professors/staff, how many of these 500"Faculty" are also students? How many are foreign students?

To me it simply means Claudine Gay's allies sent the petition around and further that they are shameless about intimidation. Gay has a history on supporting allies in the faculty and trashing people whose research disagrees with her politics. So this episode to me is another reason to doubt her suitability. She is not humble and humility is proper in that job.

Time for the rich alumni to shut off the money spigot.
That is the only thing that will get these Leftist's attention, ensconced as they are in their little Ivory Towers.

500 members of the faculty support the NAZI cause. Those of you out there who were foolish enough to pay the outlandish amount of money to attend this cesspool must not be too happy about this. Or maybe not. If that is the case, the men and women who died to fight the NAZI's in WWII died in vain.

This is further proof that our colleges and universities are run and taught by the most, racist, anti-Semitic bunch of leftist DIE cultists ever. Harvard being our oldest institution of higher learning (indoctrination) is number one in this fact. Pathetic.
