If Harvard does not reform itself, it deserves to be destroyed

It was the American novelist Saul Bellow who observed that “a great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep”. In his day, the federal government had clamped down on those educated fools of the academy to force them to drop their discrimination against black students.
Today, the world’s wealthiest university is doing all it can to resist measures designed to protect the Jews.
Harvard is reportedly suing the Trump administration after it froze $2.2 billion of the school’s funding in the wake of the hounding of Jewish students during Gaza protests. The administration accused the university of being “more committed to activism than scholarship”.
Quite reasonably, Trump demanded that Harvard “cease all preferences based on race, colour, religion, sex, or national origin”; take steps to ensure “viewpoint diversity”; and conduct an audit of the programmes that “most fuel antisemitic harassment”. Funding was frozen after the university refused.
