Harvard Crimson ^ | November 9, 2023 | Miles J. Herszenhorn and Claire Yuan

Harvard will work with its newly established antisemitism advisory group to implement antisemitism education and training for affiliates, University President Claudine Gay announced in an email Thursday afternoon.

“I affirm our commitment to protecting all members of our community from harassment and marginalization, and our commitment to meeting antisemitism head-on, with the determination it demands,” Gay wrote.

“Antisemitism has no place at Harvard,” Gay added. “We are committed to doing the hard work to address this scourge.”

This is not sarcasm. The Harvard President really did come out against antisemitism and for free speech, for some groups at least.

Maybe someone took her to school?

OR maybe some alumni got to her. Oh well... better late than never. Anyway, I don’t think Haaavard will be around long enought to live down their stupidity

Talk is cheap Gay. Get back to me when you expel all of Harvard’s Muslim terrorists.

I suspect it will only be White football fans that have to attend these classes.

From CRT struggle sessions to antisemitism struggle sessions.

All Maoist, all the time.

Anti-semetism “training”?

Here’s a training guide

Speak loudly and firmly and tell the students that they will be expelled for antisemitism. Class over

(Note- the left have made racism = “hate speech” and punish those who say racist things, so use their rules and punish antisemetism as “hate speech” with THE SAME punishments that they use agaisnt those who violate the lefts definitions of hate speech. IF that were to happen, you can almost bet the farm that the left wouod drop all hate speech designstions)

I think the Ivy League has heard from enough major donors to realize they may have made a boo-boo by both-sidesing Hamas terrorism.

I suspect Conservative and Jewish citizens 'Bud Lighted' them. Most decent citizens are NOT amused with our 'higher education' institutions becoming totalitarian anti-free speech and antisemitic monsters.

Right you are. This antisemitism problem requires swift, bold action. Instead, Harvard is forming an “advisory group”. This group will break down into committees. Meetings will be held. Then position papers will be issued.

Meh. That’s better than remaining silent. But it’s not much better.

It's easy actually. Expel students who are disrupting classes and threatening and harassing and assaulting fellow students. Deal with openly anti-Semitic faculty similarly.

From the linked article:
[Harvard President Claudine] Gay has also faced intense pressure from powerful Harvard alumni — including several major donors and former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers — to more forcefully condemn antisemitism on campus.
So it's not clear whether President Gay now opposes the "from the river to the sea" slogan because of its genocidal meaning or because it would lead to a loss of support from major donors and prominent Harvard alumni.

Apparently it does. And it also has a long history there.

My sentiments exactly. But maybe we will be surprised and something will be done about it- not gonna hold my breath though, as it just seems like more liberal drivel so that they can say “look- we are doing somehting about it” just to silence the critics

Too late. Bulldoze this Leftist propaganda mill to the ground. Seize its billions of dollars in endowments. Force its “faculty” into jobs for which they are suited - bathroom cleaners.

It took her 5 weeks. It’s barely more than a sop to pacify alumni and donors. She still has taken ZERO steps to discipline the DEI grifters who enabled, and encouraged, these outrages.
