I give it 30 days that Claudine Gay “resigns” to take a new job working at the IMF.
They should be able to fill those slots with affirmation action students.
If the employers/buyers are leaving, why invest time and money?
The only thing Harvard has going for it is reputation - the quality of a Harvard education is in no provable way better than the quality of an education at any decent state university. And Harvard is busy dismantling its reputation as quickly as possible.
Until Gay, AND the Harvard Board are GONE, this will continue and grow worse over time.
I say GOOD. Harvard deserves this for it’s complete capitulation to the left somewhere along it’s path going back decades.
Some of the most clueless people I’ve ever worked with were Harvard grads, some whom also attended the Kennedy School of Government. They were overflowing with confidence and smarminess, like used car salesmen, but had little actual knowledge or ability where it mattered. The only thing they excelled at was self-promotion.
The Left won’t ask her to step down via public opinion that’s for sure. Go woke go broke.
I doubt that’s the reason.
Here is the actual reason: Political leaders and voters are parrots who mimic their intellectual superiors. For 40 years, the one message that resonates with all voters is...education....education.... education.
Guess what?
When you over expanded an education sector that is dependent on youngsters and the financing they can afford, and your society would rather put selfish pro abortion kamikazes on a pedestal. Then don’t be surprised when your business model becomes obsolete.
Supply & demand works every time.
The term “Ivy League” should be replaced by “DEI League”.
Alternately, they are the “Woke League”.
Sure, the Harvard leadership talks the talk, but I won’t believe they are true Nazis until they put David Duke on the faculty.
Tee Hee
Read their journals and you will conclude they are major poseurs babbling nonsense.
Harvard is the abstract expressionism of academia. You know, the solid blue canvas with the broken pencil hole. Or, unpainted canvas with the grocery list scribbled on one side. The emperors clothes thing.
Just go to Google Scholar, get some of their publications and try to make sense of them. Pure shit.
Harvard on its way to becoming a predominantly minority institution.
Oh well - good marching band and sports teams.
If I was young, bright, and “diverse” enough for Harvard, the first thing I’d do is turn in a plagiarized paper. I’d be there daring them to enforce their “code” so I could sue them for the disparate and discriminatory treatment.
The leftists are totally disconnected from reality, if they are shocked by this.
Harvard is destroying its brand with wokism just like Budweiser did.
