Well, having read the book in question, I know that at least a portion of this article is highly misleading. But even admitting that a majority of the faculty and students are wacko leftists, Harvard College still provides one of the best undergraduate educations anywhere. Nowhere are you going to find a better qualified student body or faculty, and frankly, you're expected to disagree with your professors. A number of other schools generally provide equivalent academic environments, and a great number can provide equivalent educations to motivated students, but you're deluding yourself if you think Harvard isn't a top university.
That said, I'm not a graduate of the College, though I did get a couple of degrees from one of the graduate schools.
Well, it used to be!
But now it now ranks right up there with Patrice Lumumba University, or soon will, given the proclivities of these people on the staff and administration! A University that tolerates this sort of swill deserves to end in the dogpile of academic history, and will.
Why? Because it is intellectually dishonest, morally cowardly and institutionally deluded! That's not a long-term recipe for being a "top university".
So, why is this man still employed? When you can answer that question honestly you will see that "greatness" no longer resides there.
Yes, past Harvard performance and centuries of academic achievements in service to culture and learning have been admittedly outstanding. But, there are now simply too many t*rds floating around in their punchbowl to make it drinkable much longer. The fact this joke is still employed tells you the whole story of the rot that permeates Harvard.
Harvard has become part of the problem, not part of the solution. Marxist hot-bed hellholes - even disguised under the rubric of once-great universities - are simply that,... Marxist hot-bed hellholes, where the search for "truth" and "excellence" in learning has become a fecid bed of intellectually unsupportable conformity and indoctrination. The Harvard reputation has just not yet caught up with the Harvard reality.
It soon will.
