Once Revered, the Harvard Brand Is Now Officially Toxic
Joe Concha
Few tests at Harvard University, I’d presume, are what anyone would deem as easy. But when it came to the easiest one of all, Harvard flunked in spectacular fashion.
The only reason Claudine Gay isn't being called “the former president of Harvard” today is because the university decided to not fire her, despite overwhelming pressure to do so after she waffled about the right of anti-Israel protesters to call for the genocide of Jews on campus. And she did so under oath on Capitol Hill, no less.
"At Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment?" Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) asked during a House hearing about antisemitism on university campuses last week.
"It can be, depending on the context," Gay replied. When pressed to explain exactly what that context may be, she said: "When it crosses into conduct.”
Her answer resulted in widespread blowback on social media, along with the hashtag #HamasUniversity and calls for Gay to be fired.
