Harvard head apologises as scathing reports on campus prejudice released
 
Harvard University President Alan Garber has apologised following the release of internal reports which found antisemitic and anti-Muslim prejudice at America's oldest university.

The reports included testimony from students who described feeling alienated, and pressured to conceal their identity from their peers and educators.
 
In response to the findings, Harvard pledged to review its academic offerings and admissions policies - a key demand of the White House, which accuses the Ivy League institution of failure to stamp out campus antisemitism.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It was wrong of the professors, students, and outside agitators to hide their antisemitic protests and demonstrations from the administration. :whistle:

Yet Harvard keeps on its former president implicit in this discrimination.  Actions speak louder than words

Lie-a-watha is typically hysterical.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the IRS against Harvard now, but who will he try to punish next?
Revoke the non-profit status of churches and hospitals? Snatch tax credits from families? Deny deductions for small businesses?
It's illegal and wrong. And it threatens everyone.

You have never met a tax you didn't like, but you want Harvard, who sits on a $53 Billion endowment and does nothing to mitigate on campus anti-semitism to continue to enjoy tax-exempt status. That's quite a take, Chief Two Face.
