Harvard President Claudine Gay has apologized over her controversial remarks during a House Education committee hearing this week.
Gay testified alongside Elizabeth Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania, and Sally Kornbluth, head of MIT, during a hearing about the rise of antisemitism on college campuses.
All three women have faced intense criticism for failing to definitively state that calling for genocide against Jews would be considered a violation of harassment and bullying policies.
When Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) posed the question to Gay, she said it depended on the context.
“It does not depend on the context,” Stefanik, a Harvard alum, fired back. “The answer is yes and this is why you should resign.”

Probably a DIE hire.
I have a hard time believing that these people have an education that involved learning logic. There is truth and there is opinion and they do not seem to know the difference between the two.
I’m no expert but I THINK these 3 schools BENEFIT HUGELY from Federal Government Student Loans and general tax policy.
Let’s start just by saying NO MORE LOANS of any kind FOR THESE STUPID, arrogant, anti Semitic, non patriot, America hating people.
What happened in that Committee is that they all got caught telling the truth which is they are anti Semitic at heart.
Fire them!
There are going to be a lot of diversity hires that are going to find out who gave them the job in the first place
Yes, she got caught and the focus groups are advising her to to “evolve” her position to her “new truth.”
Sorry for saying it. NOT sorry for believing it.
“There is no such thing as “My truth” or “your truth”
There is only truth.”
Great point.
Unfortunately, the tyrants have made a Long March thru the institutions, starting with the media. They inserted immorality in the guise of moral relativism. Now it’s blatant anti-Judeo-Christian values and people.
Remember when lying was portrayed as wrong and unacceptable in movies and television shows? Now it is commonplace and accepted for characters, even the main character, to lie about all sorts of thing to advance ‘their truth’.
It was all thought out and planned decades ago.
Today they ridicule. Tomorrow they will burn bodies.
“She looks like...”
Her CV would make interesting reading. As would the evaluations by members of the corporation, and the internal correspondence which led to this appointment.
Penny Pritzker was head of the search committee, which “selected Gay to succeed Bacow in one of the shortest presidential search committees in the university’s history”.
I am not going to argue about it. Nor do I care enough to research it. Their endowments are beyond huge and they could charge no tuition for a couple of 100 years. State schools benefit hugely from government backed student loans. Much more so than the Ivies (particularly those three Ivies!) It enables them to avoid the responsibility of prudent fiscal planning. Their leadership often delude themselves into thinking all they need to do is to increase the student body size. If you let them in the money will follow particularly if you lower standards which they do! Create looney degree programs to keep those students in school and thus capture their loan dollars.
RESIGN, Claudine Gay!!
(I’m a Harvard alumnus!)
She looks like an affirmative action hire.
“..She looks like a “my truth” kinda gal....”
Gal/ Did you say “Gal”?? Shame on you!! /s
Proper pronouns are in order now.... /s
But, from the pic, I think I can kinda see what the “problem” is.
Scott Adams is right!!!!
Oh, they’ll ALL be sorry now.
UPENN President is being reported, to be asked to leave, now this fool is SO SORRY. Pleaaaassssse, save it, you affirmative action hire!
Trying to save her bigoted, racist azz, is more like it.
No worries, the elite will give you, one last huge payday upon dissmissal
These people are picked because they are go along get along types. They blow with the prevailing winds. On campus these are anti-semitic, anti-America and anti-freedom winds. In their testimony they remained in their university bubbles and had no other answer than to quote their quisling beliefs. Those beliefs might fly with the evil progressive Nazis on campus. Not so much with real Americans.
A bunch of idiot bimbos running our Campi. No wonder the kiddies have got the hots for Muslim Terrorists and their girlfriends in burkas.
Dec 6, 2021 Families who earn less than $65,000 per year pay nothing, and 64% of all students receive some amount of financial aid at Ivy League Schools.
I agree with everything else you said.
““Substantively, I failed to convey what is my truth,” Gay added.”
What nonsense. She thinks it improves the awful impression that she made. She is both pretentious and stupid; that’s a bad combination.
People like her are too proud to resign.
I think it is a statement made by many.
When you say “My Truth” you are expressing are, generally speaking, expressing an opinion.
