So this is a socialist web site, but they aren't down with #metoo, they are defending the accused?

Say what you will, but I wasn't able to find anything in the non-socialist media criticizing Harvard's actions.

A yearlong investigation by Harvard’s Office for Dispute Resolution (ODR) dismissed all the charges against Comaroff, including Kilburn’s claims of sexual harassment, except one. The ODR found that Comaroff’s warning Kilburn “over the course of approximately five minutes” about the danger of traveling with her partner as a same-sex couple in African countries where homosexuality was criminalized constituted “severe” sexual harassment. In fact, it was Comaroff’s professional responsibility to offer such a caution.

Wait?1 So his warning a gay couple they could be in danger in a certain country is harassment? He didn't create the laws in these countries.

Would it have been benevolent of him to let these women go to these countries unprepared?

What if, for example, he told a Catholic student some country was unsafe for Catholics?

I think I would like to know any potential danger.

Animal Farm, 2022?

Would make a great book about pig, sheep, hens and brainwashed dogs in Cambridge, Mass.

No one can win with the queers!!!!

Back when I was a faculty member at an elite university, some jerkwater administrator accused me of “sexual harassment” against a student. The charge was baseless and was soon dismissed, and even the administrator apologized to me. Of course back then (the 1990s), the whole “sexual harassment” and gaysbian garbage was less well developed than it is now!

Harvard and all the rest need to step WAY back from their current wokeness, and stop coddling the LGBTQs and the feminiazis!!!! Then they might have chance of restoring their academic integrity!!!!

Perhaps the new Republican Congress, the President elected in 2024, and/or the courts, will knock the block off of woke universities!! Then they will be forced to mend their ways!!!!

Finding your friends in this group?
The remaining three are probably out of town...

“As the details of the lawsuit came out, many Harvard scholars which had signed the original letter in support of Comaroff began to retract their signatures. As of February 9, 35 of the original 38 professors had retracted their signatures, and released a statement admitting they “were lacking full information about the case” and that they agreed with the sentiments expressed in the counter-letter.”
