Harvard professor torches Ivy League school over woke anti-white, anti-male culture in blistering essay
A professor who spent 40 years teaching at Harvard University torched the Ivy League institution over its “exclusion of white males” in a searing essay announcing his retirement.
In the piece titled “Why I’m Leaving Harvard,” history professor James Hankins said his decision to retire “was not a sudden one” and was made back in 2021 after two volatile years on campus, marked by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and George Floyd riots — the latter of which he said dramatically changed the school’s graduate admissions process.
“In reviewing graduate student applicants in the fall of 2020 I came across an outstanding prospect who was a perfect fit for our program. In past years this candidate would have risen immediately to the top of the applicant pool,” he wrote.

I’m not sure Academia is salvageable, I’m sad to say. This stuff is too embedded at all levels.
Harvard is also anti-oriental. If you have an Asian name and crazy high marks, they drop you. I’ve seen it done to one of my friends and have also read about it. It is not a meritocracy.
White applicants need only identify as native American if memory serves me.
Or is that just for faculty?
I am a proud graduate of MIT (SB) and Harvard (PhD), but in Molecular and Cellular Biology, not Humanities or Social Science.
Harvard MUST return to being Harvard—NOT “Feminist University”! That includes leadership in Humanities, as exemplified by the flagship History and Literature department!

Agree destabilization of the country is eating at roots of it foundation.

I agree, it’s completely gone off the deep end and into outer space. I’ve seen videos of Harvard students praising communism, another video of them celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk and then there was the harassment of Jews. And because it’s Harvard, these sick demented bastards end up in high level positions. It’s doing a lot of damage to the country and Trump had the right idea to defund them, but it’s really not going to do any good because they next democrap that takes the White house will throw money at them.
I should apply to Harvard, say I’m from Somalia, have experience in “shipping acquisitions”, see what happens.
