This will ultimately only serve as a stregthening of speech codes.
Apparently the only floodgate being opened is by Vivek.
Liar and hypocrites.
“resignation of woke University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill”
Resigned as prez.....she’s still a tenured professor there....this isn’t exactly the victory I for one was hoping for.
Wokesters are a petty lot always hanging onto mommy’s apron strings about everything useless bunch of parasites in action.
I saw this same thing happen in 2001 right after the Twin Towers were attacked on 9/11.
The University I worked for at the time suddenly became all Rah-Rah pro-USA, and even passed out little American Flags to put on our desks, and started selling American Flag crossed with the University’s Flag lapel pins.
It lasted about a year, then slowly went back to the same liberal anti-American crap when we invaded Iraq.
They’ll do or say what is necessary until the attention shifts elsewhere, then they’ll return to their normal Woke agenda.
Tide is being held back a bit, for now. The left literally has decades of rot that has infested our educational institutions from Pre-K to the highest levels of miseducation.
Conservatives really just need to wake their sorry asses up and vote the turds out. Too many sit back and just take it.
As long as no administrator loses their job.
I’ll state the obvious. Being Fareed Zakaria, he may be given a chance to recant. If a white person had said this, he’d be in the tumbrel and en route to the guillotine already.
Just like U Penn President Liz Magill who recently resigned but will remain at U Penn, many University administrators are also tenured faculty, and are almost impossible to fire.
Yup. At minimum, the guy’s got courage.
This “change” is due every bit as much to the potential loss of funding and donations than to a reconsideration of their immoral values.
She calls this a paradigm shift but it is way too soon to draw that conclusion. Nobody goes down without a fight, and that includes the totalitarian Left. They will take some casualties, like these ridiculous women, but will continue implacably to march, right over their bodies if need be.
I don't trust them to correct their problems. Only lie and cover up and “promise” to do better next time.

Amid Calls for Gay’s Resignation, Harvard Corporation Convenes for Scheduled Meeting

The Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers — the University’s governing bodies — convened on campus Sunday for a regularly scheduled meeting that comes five days after calls for President Claudine Gay to resign grew following her congressional testimony, according to a source close to the governing boards.
In a break between the board meetings, Harvard Corporation Senior Fellow Penny S. Pritzker ’81 did not answer repeated questions from The Crimson about whether she would ask Gay to step down, when approached by a reporter Sunday afternoon.
Pritzker, who is on campus for a meeting of the governing boards, ignored the questions as she and Shirley M. Tilghman — another member of the Corporation — entered a vehicle.
While the meeting of the Corporation and the Board of Overseers follows their ordinary timeline, the backdrop against which the convening takes place is nothing but extraordinary.
During the hearing before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, alongside fellow witnesses University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill and MIT President Sally A. Kornbluth — Gay repeatedly declined to directly answer a question from Rep. Elise M. Stefanik ’06 (R-N.Y.) about whether calls for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s policies on bullying and harassment.
The exchange with Stefanik went viral, and Magill resigned Saturday amid the backlash and pressure from UPenn’s board of trustees.
Gay, who had previously faced only a few isolated calls to resign from the presidency, has received mounting pressure to step down. On Friday, more than 70 members of Congress — including two Democrats — signed a letter to Harvard governance calling on Gay to resign.
The boards are expected to (a) discuss the backlash to Gay’s testimony and (b) make a decision on whether they should issue a public statement in support of Gay, the president they (c) elected to lead Harvard less than one year ago.
While the Corporation has remained silent about the future of Gay’s tenure, an increasing number of Harvard faculty members have spoken up to express support for Gay.

Julie Platt, who replaces Scott Bok as Penn trustees chairman, is every bit as an obnoxious Leftist as Liz Magill. Platt just doesn’t hate secular Jews. Otherwise, they’re the same.
“....this isn’t exactly the victory I for one was hoping for....
And an “interim” angry, leftist racist harpy, post-menopausal bitch, is taking her place, for now...
