Harvard Antisemitism Task Force Leader Resigns Over School’s Refusal to Promise Changes: Report
New York Post ^ | Feb. 26, 2024, | Melissa Koenig

The co-chair of Harvard’s new antisemitism taskforce abruptly resigned over the weekend — reportedly after she became frustrated that university officials refused to commit to making changes to make the campus safer for Jewish faculty and staff. Harvard officials shockingly announced on Sunday that business professor Raffaella Sadun — who was appointed to the newly-created Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism just last month — had stepped down from her post.

Sadun issued a statement that she was “grateful” for a chance to work on the taskforce and that she would continue to work on the issue as a faculty member.

But, behind the scenes, she was fuming over the intransigence of the university administration, according to insiders. Raffaella Sadun stepped down from her position as co-chair of the Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism at Harvard.

The Harvard Crimson reported that Sadun had repeatedly demanded that the university must commit to acting on recommendations from the task force — even before they are formally issued — instead of treating them merely as advice.

Shocker. The first change they need to make is to fire the entire Board plus much of the antisemtic faculty.

I love it when power-mad leftists eat each other.

Have they stopped making them wear yellow stars yet?

I wish there was an Anti-White Racism Task Force. We don’t even get a task force.

Harvard could not function without self-hating Jewish faculty. Impose the same 2% maximum Jewish admissions to faculty and Harvard might not even be a Midweat community college.

That was my first take too!

There are enough Asian applicants that academic standards won’t suffer at all.

Yep. Also would be nice to have an anti-misandrist task force around too.

I was shocked to see Hate the Jew comeback. Things can turn on a dime today. Jews are now white oppressor’s along with White Christians (and maybe even black Christians?) Latinos will be next. Where will this go?

Yep. Hold Asians to the proportian of general population too. What’s DEI after all?

Of course they didn’t. This whole charade is just a big CYA exercise to keep funds flowing from naive Jewish donors. At this point, I’d wager that the majority of Harvard faculty and staff are raging antisemites, if not outright Hamas supporters.

What's past is prologue. Before the 1960s, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and the other Ivies--plus the elite women's colleges like Radcliffe, Wellesley, Smith, etc.--had a worldwide reputation as reserved for WASPs. They accepted only a token handful of Jews or Catholics--whose non-POSH urban accents stuck out like sore thumbs in Cambridge.

The Cambridge culture's view was that observant Jews and devout Catholics engage in far too much thought.

I think they put an equal number of yellow stars and swastikas in different envelopes and passed them around to the committee—she may not have liked the envelope she got.

Lol.
