They say the first step in addiction recovery is admitting a problem—but typically only after the patient reaches rock bottom. Relations between Harvard and the Trump administration have hit rock bottom over Harvard’s addictions to the liberal bubble of woke ideology; to marginalizing conservative students, speakers, and professors; and to its appeasement of antisemitism.
Harvard President Alan Garber finally admits that lack of conservative views on campus is a “problem.” As a Harvard grad, I hope this delayed but true acknowledgment isn’t too little too late. Harvard’s reformation process so far is mixed.
On the negative side of Harvard’s ledger, one need look only so far as last month’s 374th commencement, as reported by the 1636 Forum newsletter. (Harvard was founded in 1636 to train clergy in effective spiritual shepherding—how far it strayed!)
