Less than a month after the leaders of three top U.S. colleges testified before the House about antisemitism on their campuses, two of them have been forced to resign...MIT President Sally Kornbluth, meanwhile, has stayed in her position, based on little more than the school’s immediate response followed by radio silence.

MIT donors still staying with them while the other 2 were losing large amounts of money?
She is Jewish, so she probably is not anti-semitic.
She also appears to have been qualified for her job and was not simply an affirmative action hire.
What are you getting at? She’s a self/hating Jew? She isn’t one. The others are being targeted because they aren’t Jews? Say your thing.
There needs to be intense screening of foreign student applying to US universities. There needs to be rules about political displays, they are taking advantage of US taxpayer provided facilities and need to have strict rules.
Which border did they come in from.
They come on student visas, so it depends on which country they come from.
A lot of STEM programs at state universities wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the foreign students. This a chilling indictment of our K12 system in that it can’t produce sufficient numbers of people with the educational backgrounds to enter and complete these programs.
The above statement should not be interpreted as an argument for increasing or keeping the current numbers of foreign students.
MIT is engineering/science isn’t it? You’d think those folks would not go left.
Then maybe they should be eliminated. I think the rule should be no more than 2% foreign students. Maybe the professors should be incentives to work at the secondary school level to produce enough US students who can function at higher levels. The only thing that has changed is the quality of teachers in this country.
The 1st Amendment doesn’t protect you from the consequences of your ideas.
The journalist doesn’t get that.
Instead of president, both have been reassigned as tenured professors at their respective universities. Their only real "punishment" has been a change in job title.
That has been the controversy for thousands of years, and is documented in the Bible translation that I read, and upon which its content is derived. And the crisis topic from its beginning and throughout is what is right and what is wrong, goodness and evil contrasted.
Even among Israelites there came a great, unbreachable division, a gut-based one, separating the tribes of Judah (Jews) with their culture of righteousness, as contrasted with those of the other tribes that sided with the remainder of the world's population and its mores, and was finally totally absorbed in it.
And it is that matter that is disrupting our campuses, isn't it? The Jewish race has survived by maintaining its distinctive culture from all other genetic combinations (races), and should not be asked to abandon it in the scholastic arena.
I am an MIT undergraduate alum as well as a Harvard graduate alum.
I had a lot of hope for Sally Kornbluth when she became MIT president, because she is a well-qualified biologist.
She is Jewish, so is not personally antisemitic.
However, she failed to properly discipline the Hamas-supporting savages who blocked “lobby 7”, the main entrance to MIT’s Infinite Corridor, and harassed ordinary students who were just trying to get to class. She also failed to properly discipline the Hamas-supporting savages who disrupted classes.
They should all have been expelled. If they were foreign, they would have lost their visas (the reason she gave for not suspending or expelling them). Tough luck—they don’t belong in the USA!
Now—according to Twitter/X, she’s doubling down on DEI, by appointing a new DEI czar. VERY bad!!
Resign, Sally—or at least correct these missteps! All MIT people deserve to be safe going to class, lab, dining halls, etc. And they deserve to be free of DEI and free to speak and to hear non-politically correct speakers!
Yea. Kornbluth is Jewish and white. That makes her complicity with Jew hating worse. MIT needs a donor revolt. That seems to get things done.
I wonder if because she is Jewish, she was afraid that she would be targeted for cancellation if she properly disciplined the Hamas-supporting savages. She has to be aware that Jews are not a favored class among the woke college culture.
That is not any kind of excuse if true, just a possible explanation.
Jews aren’t White, they’re Jews.
Until it’s convenient for then to be White.
Sorry, kids.
None are losing any money, just job titles. Gay keeps her $900,000 a year + perks money. The other probably does too.
The person was keeping their pay. But the big donors were dropping them which is why Penn acted so fast. That is the only thing that made them act. Loss of donations.
