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!
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.
