Few tests at Harvard University, I’d presume, are what anyone would deem as easy. But when it came to the easiest one of all, Harvard flunked in spectacular fashion.
The only reason Claudine Gay isn't being called “the former president of Harvard” today is because the university decided to not fire her, despite overwhelming pressure to do so after she waffled about the right of anti-Israel protesters to call for the genocide of Jews on campus. And she did so under oath on Capitol Hill, no less.
"At Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment?" Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) asked

Some people continue to portray Jewish students as somehow evil.
These people need more than schools.

It was toxic way before this latest fiasco. When DEI, CRT, SEL, and ISG are vaunted as holy writ, and when conservatives were banned from speaking on campus, Harvard lost its cache. Now it has become a nursery school for spoiled brats with their outsized sense of self-importance. When teachers cannot teach and only indoctrinate, you get Harvard as it now stands. Or hopefully, falls.

If the President of the "university" were white, male, over 50, God-fearing.......that person would permanently be long gone from the premises.

As Bill Maher said, "Harvard is a Wuhan wet market of ignorance." Yes, I'd say that says the Harvard Brand is toxic. Maher summed it up perfectly.

Nothing the Board does helps. Harvard is the least free speech of all examined; it is anti-Semitic; Rachel Levine who demands everybody use She when speaking to him on pain of punishment, is a graduate; the president is a plagiarist, and in this emergency the Board's priority is not to appear to give way to anybody. Not frightened students, not donors, not alumni, not Congress, not God Almighty. Their individual alliances in the Democratic party and their progressive project is the biggest priority they see. Not wise. not wise.

So I guess this means plagiarism is now fully acceptable behavior for the entire student body. That's assuming it wasn't already...

She's gone. Harvard is so dumbed down they are having issues grasping it. She will be booted as soon as they begin to see the big picture. Maybe by the weekend.

Let's see how much the University loves her when all their perks from the US taxpayers dry up. BTW since Harvard has $31 Billion dollars which is invested I am sure the proceeds from that would more than cover the tuition the students pay. They either should pay taxes or up the amount of scholarships based purely on merit.

Just another example of the liberal/progressive/Marxist/now Democrat reverse Midas' touch. Everything, EVERYTHING, they touch turns to crap.

Harvard, Yale and the rest of the Ivy's will reap what they sow. Let's see how much they support that idiot Gay when the $$ endowments start to shrivel.

Edward Kennedy had to withdraw from Haarvaard because he had someone else take his Spanish exam.

Harvard needs to apologize to his heirs for this injustice.

It seems to me that the ONLY thing these fancy 'schools' have is their reputation.
As I understand it, that reputation was earned by many decades of many people doing hard work and exhibiting academic excellence.
Now the Leftists have infected these institutions and are destroying them from the inside out.
Finally it is out in the open for the general public to see.
Just as the Perverts have destroyed Disney and Bud Light, the hard Leftists are destroying these once-premier universities.
I predict that now, that "HAAAVVVAAARRDD" is a term of ridicule, the money will dry up, the best students will apply elsewhere, and the wholesale decline will begin in earnest.
It seems to me that, if severe and thorough housecleaning is conducted RIGHT NOW, that the damage can be halted.
But, given the evil leftist fools that now have their hands on the levers of power, it's not going to happen.

I don't think Harvard or the thousands of liberals who want their kids to go there care.
