Sounds “nice,” but is just another bit of pandering.

They just need to get someone in that has a brain and is generally fair—not go to the opposite extreme to “balance” something.

I tell you what. Liberals don’t want Donald Trump for President, offer him a carrot of Harvard President. He might drop out.

Yes, that would be both the scholarly principled and morally right thing to do.

Fat chance though at Harvard. Dr. Swain is a Christian lady and a conservative, you know.

I agree. Gay should have stayed in her own lane. Carol Swain would be able to handle the Harvard president’s job and I know she could bring back Harvard’s reputation by dumping some of the troublemakers there. Ms. Swain would be a great president for the school primarily due to her being AN AMERICAN!

Long odds of that happening. Gay represents Harvard and the leftist values of academia in general. If anything they’ll replace her with someone similar or worse.

In which case, Dr. Swain is perfect.

Dr Swain is beautiful, a conservative, and a proven academic. She's perfect.

Was there just one? That George Crockett didn’t run in 1990 or 1994 is still bothering me.

It’s a truly great idea and one I cannot imagine the idiot board of Harvard doing.

Umm...aside from several other points: Is Swain a conservative?

talk about a rock and a hardplace, the longer they let this fester the more damage it does, or do the right thing and step down...

never known a RAT to do the “Right Thing” yet so, they’ll let it all rot in public like in a gibbet before they pull their snouts out of the trough

A better idea: how about firing Gay, then for a replacement seek out the best qualified candidate without respect to gender, ethnicity, or race? And make sure the replacement is anti-Woke.
