Harvard hires drag queen named ‘LaWhore Vagistan’ as visiting professor

Once again, the Ivy League has lowered the bar for the most expensive education you can buy.

Harvard University hired a drag performer as a new professor — who is expected to teach a class on TV show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in the spring semester, the Ivy League school announced over the summer.

The institution welcomed Kareem Khubchandani in a July message to the college community and revealed that the visiting professor from Tufts University will teach in the Studies of Gender and Sexuality program thanks to the Harvard Gender and Sexuality Caucus. 

Khubchandani is perhaps better known by his stage name, “LaWhore Vagistani” — a persona that the academic has made an integral part of their pedagogy.

The professor will often lecture in the guise of “LaWhore,” which has been a personal project for over a decade, even spawning a music video titled “Sari.”

Americans’ trust in Ivy Leagues is tanking: poll

The once epitomized Ivy League institutions of higher education now garner little trust among the American public.

A new poll by the Manhattan Institute found that only 15 percent of voters have a great deal of trust in the elite universities, while 46 percent have little to no trust at all.

Most of those polled said they want to see reforms such as the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion and race-based admissions and programs.

Additionally, 64 percent “support requiring universities to advance truth over ideology by enforcing rigorous academic standards, controlling for academic fraud, requiring preregistration of scientific studies, and basing decisions on merit,” the poll found.

The public’s trust in public colleges and universities is a little higher, but not much.

According to the poll, 20 percent said they have a great deal of trust in these institutions, compared to 37 percent who had little to no trust.

“These results place Ivy League colleges among the nation’s least trusted institutions. They draw similar levels of distrust as the media—including newspapers (46% distrust) and TV news (47%)—the Supreme Court (40% distrust), and the Presidency (47%),” according to the institute.

New Poll Finds Americans’ Trust in the Ivy League is Dropping

Trump’s Attack on Harvard Could be a Turning Point in the Battle Against the Climate Cult

A key plank of the globalist agenda is rooted in Malthusian climate alarmism. This pseudo-scientific hobgoblin has long served as a cudgel to demonise fossil fuels and impose a vision of ‘Net Zero’ that prioritises ideological certainty over pragmatic trade-offs in energy policy. The Trump administration’s aggressive actions against Harvard’s politicised administration include freezing $3 billion in federal grants, revoking Harvard’s ability to enrol international students and threatening its tax-exempt status.

This may, as a welcome collateral effect, disrupt the university’s key role in the Church of Climate, forcing it to align instead with the Trumpian vision of American energy dominance and a rejection of the constraints of the Paris Agreement. The Trump-Harvard standoff could mark a turning point in dismantling the climate-industrial complex’s grip on academia.

By granting intellectual heft to NGO activism, Harvard acts as the ‘Jesuit front’ to the Church of Climate. Like the Jesuits who furthered the Catholic Church’s cause in education and missionary work, Harvard’s professoriate leads the ‘climate crisis’, propagating the faith far and wide in the West and the developing world.

Ending the Party for Commies at Harvard

The Trump Administration is tightening up visa requirements for Chinese communists who come to the USA for training at Harvard — and none too soon:

For decades, the [Chinese Communist Party] has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top “party school” outside the country. …

Harvard enjoys a sterling reputation among Chinese officials thanks to its record in training highflying bureaucrats who went on to take senior government roles and, in some cases, join the party’s elite Politburo.

The ChiComs are open about their close relationship with likeminded Harvard:

“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” said a 2014 commentary published by Shanghai Observer, an online platform run by the city’s main party newspaper.

The current regime in China is continuous with Mao Zedong’s, which killed over 70 million of its own people in peacetime. Xi Jinping seeks to displace the USA as the world’s dominant superpower so as to expand communist tyranny.

Xi sent his own daughter to Harvard. He isn’t worried that students will be exposed to dangerous Western ideas about freedom and property rights — not at the leftist school that FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) ranked dead last in the country for free speech, scoring 0 out of 100:

What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania.

The Wall Street Journal’s Gerry Baker emerges from a fog of TDS to praise Trump for declaring the party over:

Harvard Hits Rock Bottom

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!)

Harvard Prof Fired for Fabricating Honesty Data

After Yesterday, you might have thought I was done with Harvard. It’s them that keep stepping on their own dicks.

Harvard, that bastion of integrity, just fired Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino, who, according to The Harvard Crimson, “has been fighting data fraud allegations for nearly four years.”

It marked a historic faculty penalty for Harvard, which has not revoked a professor’s tenure since the 1940s, when academic protection rules were institutionalized.

The Crimson notes: “Gino, a behavioral scientist who became famous for studying honesty and ethical behavior, was accused of manipulating observations to better support her conclusions. Before her work came under scrutiny, she was a prominent researcher in her field and the fifth-highest paid employee at Harvard in 2018 and 2019, receiving more than $1 million in compensation each year.”

Seriously, you can’t make this up!

Harvard has “been a pox on our educational system at least since the 1920s”

I might as well shit on Harvard again. The Geico Cavemen could figure out the pattern on this day. They keep providing more and more information on how bad of a school they really are. It used to be you only found out when they went to work for you.

The war between the Trump administration and Harvard has been escalating.

Here is my ‘hot take’ excerpted from our most recent full Legal Insurrection podcast.

(For unknown reasons the audio was low and we couldn’t increase internal volume as much as we would have liked, so turn your volume up)

Transcript (auto-generated, may contain transcription errors, lightly edited for transcript clarity)

Something we’ve talked about before, is Harvard has decided to fight because it’s getting cheers within its bubble.

But what are they fighting for?

They’re fighting for the right to continue to discriminate. They’re fighting for the right to allow hoodlums to run to rampage on the campus harassing Jewish students. This is what they’re fighting for. They’re not fighting for anything that’s worth fighting for.

They’ve dug this grave for themselves.

Think about it.

You say Harvard has been doing this for a long time. I don’t think people realize how long they’ve been doing this.

In the 1920s, they invented the quota system for admissions to keep Jews out with the whole person view, I forget what they call it. That whole thing of moving away from objective measures like test scores and considering other things was developed by Harvard in the 1920s to keep the number of Jews lower, to reduce the number of Jews.

They have been a pox on our educational system at least since the 1920s.

They then took that model that they used against Jews, and used it against Asians and Whites in the affirmative action field. The Harvard model in admissions is exactly what the Supreme Court said was illegal and unlawful, and they’ve been doing it since the 1920s.

That’s the Harvard attitude.

They think they’re above everybody else. And I went there, so I know it, that that’s the attitude.

They truly believe that they know better and they’re immune to accountability, and now they’re finding out otherwise.

Harvard has “been a pox on our educational system at least since the 1920s”

Bill Maher Agrees with Trump as He Slams Harvard as an “A-Hole Factory” (Video)

President Donald Trump has made it clear that the American taxpayer will not continue funding the whiny young communists at Harvard.

In April, the Trump administration froze over $2.2 billion in federal research grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard, citing the university’s failure to adequately address antisemitism on campus.

In May, the administration ordered federal agencies to cancel an estimated $100 million in remaining contracts with Harvard across nine departments.

The administration is also looking to revoke Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, which would prevent the university from enrolling international students—about 6,800 students, or over a quarter of its student body. This move is currently in flux and is set to go to a hearing after it was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.

President Trump has also publicly suggested revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, which saved the university an estimated $465 million in 2023.

While liberals whine about the moves against Harvard, Bill Maher announced on his HBO talk show that he agrees with Trump on the issue, calling Harvard an “A-hole factory.”

“Trump has declared full-scale war on Harvard, and like so many things he does, there’s a kernel of a good idea there,” Maher said on Friday, adding, “I’ve been sh–ing on Harvard long before he was.”

Most Americans Agree With Trump That Higher Education Has a Problem

This has been obvious to some of us for years.

Mediaite has details:

‘Bias Reigns’: Most Americans ‘Definitely Agree’ With Trump There’s a Big Problem in Higher Ed in New Poll

CNN’s Harry Enten reported that faith in higher education has suffered a stunning collapse in the last decade, with “most Americans” in agreement with President Donald Trump that there’s a real problem. Enten broke down the new polling showing that the perception of institutional liberal bias is a huge problem for colleges and universities.

Speaking with Kate Bolduan on Thursday, Enten explained that the percentage of Americans who express high confidence in higher education has “plummeted” from 57% in 2015 to just 36% as of last year — and not just among Republicans.

“That number has plummeted, plummeted as of last year, down to 36%. We’re talking about a 36-point drop among Republicans specifically,” he said. “Get this: 68% of Americans said that higher education was on the wrong track.”

Enten added that while “it’s a question of whether or not people agree with Trump’s tactics,” it is still the case that they “definitely agree with him on the idea that there is a problem with higher ed overall.”

CNN: Most Americans Agree With Trump That Higher Education Has a Problem

Of course there is a problem. It’s been there since Viet Nam when the anti-Americans took over the colleges and universities. They are liberal indoctrination centers and foreign students who hate America are the cash cows

Harvard Has Become Chinese Communist ‘Party School’

And by that, I don’t mean Toga Party.

Harvard might be a mere pipe dream for most American college-hunting brainiacs, but for “so many Chinese communist officials” it rates as their top “party school,” The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

Not only has Chinese President Xi Jinping’s own daughter been a student at Harvard, but a former vice president and Xi’s top negotiator with the first Trump administration studied there as leaders in China see Harvard education as a path to Chinese Communist Party positions.

And it is not a new thing.

“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” a 2014 Shanghai Observer online commentary piece read.

President Donald Trump sought to change the paradigm with China during his first administration just months before the COVID-19 pandemic exploded around the world.

Now, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are seeking to curb the stocking of America’s chief economic, if not military, rival with the state-of-the-world education, monitoring foreign student visas and putting new ones on hold to establish extreme vetting measures for students flooding to Harvard who might be seeking to work against American interests.

Rubio announced Wednesday the effort to “aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”

The move has Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning saying Chinese students have the rights of Americans, despite merely being permitted foreign student visa holders, saying Rubio’s move “seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese students.”

Rubio says foreign visa holders have the privilege, not the right, to be in the U.S.

Trump now wants to cut Harvard’s estimated foreign student visa base in half, down to 15% to make sure those attended from foreign rivals like China “are people that can love our country.”

“I think Harvard has to get a kick in the rear end,” Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax‘s “Saturday Agenda.” “It’s not going to do it by itself. The president of Harvard would like to do the right thing, and he’s a very decent man.

“But there are too many radical left-wing faculty members that are Marxists and that are antisemites and that are anti-American and anti-Christian and want to see Harvard become the kind of woke institution that turns out the kinds of political leaders that they would like to see dominate the country.”

While Harvard is the Chinese Communist Party school of choice, this China education train is not exclusive. It extends to Biden’s alma mater at Syracuse University, too. 

Syracuse offers executive training for Chinese officials and since the early 2000s its Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs has helped set up programs at Chinese universities.

Harvard’s China focus began in the 1980s, but it ramped up under former President Bill Clinton in the late ’90s, leading to the “China’s Leaders in Development” program to “help prepare senior local and central Chinese government officials to more effectively address the ongoing challenges of China’s national reforms,” according to the report.

Turns Out The Harvard Faculty Are As Bad As The Students

Humiliating Turn for Star Harvard Professor as She Becomes First to Be Stripped of Tenure Since 1940s

Harvard University has revoked the tenure of Francesca Gino, a celebrated Harvard Business School professor, and terminated her employment.

The Harvard Corporation, the university’s governing body, arrived at the extraordinary decision last week, Boston-area public radio station GBH reported Sunday.

In an ironic and humiliating twist, Gino, who was dubbed the “honesty professor” for her research on ethical behavior, ultimately had her prestigious career cut short after a school investigation cast doubt on the truth of her own work.

The trouble began in August 2021, when Data Colada, a blog run by behavioral scientists, flagged potential data fraud in a paper co-authored by Gino.

This paper was retracted a month later.

Harvard Business School launched an 18-month investigation that uncovered evidence of manipulated data in four of Gino’s studies. The manipulations were done to support Gino’s hypotheses, Harvard concluded.

The findings were damning for Gino, who was placed on unpaid administrative leave in June 2023. The school barred her from campus and revoked her named professorship.

Get Me A Brain Igor, Harvard Pleads Guilty To Trafficking Human Parts From Corpses

From the DOJ Website:

Former Harvard Morgue Manager Pleads Guilty To Trafficking Stolen Human Remains

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Cedric Lodge, age 57, of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pled guilty yesterday before Chief United States District Judge Matthew W. Brann to interstate transport of stolen human remains.

According to Acting United States Attorney John Gurganus, Lodge admitted that, from 2018 through at least March 2020, he participated in the sale and interstate transport of human remains stolen from Harvard Medical School morgue, located in Boston, Massachusetts. Lodge, who was then employed as the manager of the Harvard Medical School Morgue, removed human remains, including organs, brains, skin, hands, faces, dissected heads, and other parts, from donated cadavers after they had been used for research and teaching purposes but before they could be disposed of according to the anatomical gift donation agreement between the donor and the school. Lodge took the remains without the knowledge or permission of his employer, the donor, or the donor’s family, and transport the remains to his home in New Hampshire. After he and his wife Denise Lodge sold the remains, they would ship the remains to the buyers in other states or the buyer would take possession directly and transport the remains themselves. Remains stolen and sold by Lodge were transported from the morgue in Boston to locations in Salem, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.

Lodge admitted to having sold remains to Joshua Taylor and Andrew Ensanian, among others. Many of the remains purchased from Lodge were resold for a profit, including to Jeremy Pauley, who previously entered a guilty plea to conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen human remains.

Several other defendants have previously entered guilty pleas in related cases, including Lodge’s wife, Denise Lodge, Joshua Taylor, Andrew Ensanian, Matthew Lampi, and Angelo Pereyra. Lampi was sentenced to 15 months in prison and Pereyra was sentenced to 18 months. Denise Lodge and Joshua Taylor are still awaiting sentencing. Additionally, Candace Chapman-Scott, who stole remains from an Arkansas crematorium where she was employed and sold them to Pauley in Pennsylvania, entered a plea of guilty in Arkansas federal court and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Everything Is Kind Of Becoming A Drag On Harvard These Days, Not Just China

Harvard University’s links to China, long an asset to the school, have become a liability as the Trump administration levels accusations that its campus is plagued by Beijing-backed influence operations.

On Thursday the administration moved to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students, saying it fostered antisemitism and coordinated with the Chinese Communist Party. Among them are Chinese nationals who made up about a fifth of Harvard’s foreign student intake in 2024, the university said.

A U.S. judge on Friday temporarily blocked the administration’s order after the Cambridge, Massachusetts, university sued.

The concerns about Chinese government influence at Harvard are not new. Some U.S. lawmakers, many of them Republicans, have expressed worries that China is manipulating Harvard to gain access to U.S. advanced technology, to circumvent U.S. security laws and to stifle criticism of it in the United States.

“For too long, Harvard has let the Chinese Communist Party exploit it,” a White House official told Reuters on Friday, adding the school had “turned a blind eye to vigilante CCP-directed harassment on-campus.”

Harvard Researcher: Harvard Is Totally Corrupt

Is Harvard irredeemable?

Yes, unless they are forced by external forces to reform. 

That’s not the assessment of a conservative curmudgeon or some extreme partisans exacting revenge on institutions filled with lefty lunatics. 

That is what several Harvard professors and researchers who have watched a once-great institution become what it is today–practically totalitarian

Omar Sultan Haque, M.D., Ph.D., a Harvard researcher, penned a cri de cœur on his Substack arguing that Harvard has betrayed its very reason for being: the search for truth. 

The historic levels of grade inflation on campus also match levels of denial, insularity, truth-inflation, and ideological capture.  For instance, a shorter version of this heterodox essay you are reading at this moment was rejected by the Harvard Crimson. The well meaning editor told me they “didn’t feel this particular piece was a good fit at this particular time”. I wondered, when exactly would be a good time? Faculty job applicants already have to do diversity/DEI loyalty oaths, and students can’t speak their mind in an academic institution. 

Openness to dissenting voices and free inquiry are as rare at Harvard as is spotting the mythical dodo bird of the Ivy League in Harvard Yard: a student who is working class, conservative, religious, rural in origin, heterosexual, and believes their gender matches their biological sex.

Harvard’s motto is, famously, Veritas–Latin for “Truth.” Just like Pravda, come to think of it, and the modern Harvard is as dedicated to truth and the search for truth as Pravda was during the Soviet years. 

In contrast, a partisan think tank is explicitly factional and partial in its aims. There are many think-tanks in America that have explicitly partisan aims and practices, such as the Center for American Progress (liberal), Claremont Institute (conservative), Cato Institute (libertarian), Guttmacher Institute (pro-abortion).  Though intellectually oriented and often producing robust scholarship, these are not universities.  Consistent with their ideologies, these institutes tend to only ask a small range of all possible intellectual questions, and their answers are more predictable than not.  The Guttmacher Institute, for instance, rarely does a study on post-traumatic stress disorder and moral injury after abortions, and the Cato Institute rarely writes reports documenting the needs of the most vulnerable in society and how social safety nets could help.

Harvard, by these standards, is much more like a left wing progressive Institute, than it is a university. In its most passionate moral exhortations, Harvard resembles a secular ideological church. There are some quantitative pockets of flourishing, non-partisan academic life, but in general, Harvard does not live up to the values of a university, and is more like a think tank.

FAFO – Ivy League University Staff Pays the Price for School’s Stubbornness – Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes

Columbia University’s recent decision to lay off nearly 180 staff members is a stark reminder of the real-world consequences of elitist posturing.

The cuts, reported by multiple outlets, including Fox News and NBC News, were prompted by the revocation of $400 million in federal grants under the Trump administration, highlighting the school’s stubborn refusal to adapt to reasonable demands. These staffers are paying the price for the school’s defiance, while the university’s leadership retreats to their gilded mansions unscathed.

The Trump administration’s mandate was clear: protect Jewish students from rampant anti-Semitism on campus, or lose federal funding. Columbia chose defiance, and now its employees are suffering. The school’s insistence on coddling Hamas sympathizers has cost it dearly, and the fallout is hitting those least responsible for the decision.

Columbia’s acting president, Claire Shipman, issued a statement that reeks of self-pity.

“This is a deeply challenging time across all higher education, and we are attempting to navigate through tremendous ambiguity with precision, which will be imperfect at times,” she said.

Ambiguity? There’s nothing ambiguous about Trump’s directive. Stop the anti-Semitism, and you’re fine. Columbia’s leadership chose to play a stupid game, and now they’ve won a stupid prize.

Let’s not forget that Columbia is where the Frankfurt School (of Marxism) calls it’s current home. How can you expect them to take any position other than anti-Jewish.

Yes, Because We Had To Work With Them – Many Americans Hold Negative Views of the Ivy League, According to New Survey

Inside Higher Ed reports:

Survey Finds Many Americans Hold Negative Views of the Ivies

A new survey by the University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats found that a significant portion of the American public holds negative views about Ivy League universities and believe campus antisemitism is an important issue.

The survey was fielded by the university’s research organization, NORC, from May 1 to May 5, and included 2,131 American adults. It found that 45 percent of respondents see campus antisemitism as a “serious” or “very serious” issue. Among Republicans, the share was 54 percent, compared to roughly 40 percent of Democrats and 32 percent of Independents.

Meanwhile, 28 percent of respondents said they view Ivy League universities like Harvard and Yale as the “enemy.” A larger share of Republicans, about 47 percent, hold that sentiment, compared to about 11 percent of Democrats and roughly 30 percent of Independents. But 47 percent of Democrats said they were unsure, while 31 percent said they’d characterize Ivies as a “friend.”

Only a quarter of those surveyed believe the federal government should defund Ivy League institutions, similar to a finding in a recent report by the Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon announced that Harvard will no longer be eligible for new grants after rejecting the Trump administration’s resolution proposal.

The violations cited include a failure to adhere to civil rights laws by illegally using race as a factor for admission decisions and failing to protect Jewish students on campus.

“Harvard University, despite amassing a largely tax-free $53.2 billion dollar endowment (larger than the GDP of 100 countries), receives billions of dollars of taxpayer largess each year,” the letter reads. “Harvard will cease to be a publicly funded institution, and can instead operate as a privately-funded institution, drawing on its colossal endowment, and raising money from its large base of wealthy alumni.”

The letter, also posted to X by the secretary, reprimands the Ivy League school for accepting foreign students into the school who go on to “engage in violent behavior and show contempt for the United States of America.” The administration has made its stance on foreign students who espouse anti-American views clear, demanding in a previous letter that Harvard review its process for recruiting and admitting international students. Several foreign students who engaged in violent antisemitic protests at other universities have already been deported.

Hell, I’ve known the school was useless when I had to work with their graduates. All of us just looked an thought, “Your parents wasted money on you?”

Look Who’s Paying The Colleges To Turn Out Mush Heads

Now, Harvard is bitching that Trump is withholding money for anti-semitism and other anti-American activities.

Harvard has an over $50 billion endowment and charges the students way more than it’s worth to go there.

What is worse, the quality of the Harvard graduate has gone down the toilet in the last few decades. It’s a shame that they are so beholden to money.

I could go on about UPenn and Lia Thomas, the guy who swims against girls for their team, but it’s just a variation on the theme.

It’s not just trade or fentanyl. China is doing everything it can to ruin America and the Western civilization. It’s what all Marxists do.

Harvard Not Only Losing Government Funding, Doubling Down On Their Anti-Semitism Stupid

I’ve known that Harvard hasn’t turned out better students for decades. I had to work with them and they were speed bumps. Now, the institution is showing its’ colors of discrimination and Jew hating.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Announces Millions More in Grants Cut From Harvard – Threatens School’s Ability to Enroll Foreign Students:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a Wednesday press release that Noem unveiled the discontinuation of two grants from the department to Harvard worth more than $2.7 million. DHS also noted in the press release that the secretary requested “detailed records on Harvard’s foreign student visa holders’ illegal and violent activities” in a letter.

“Harvard bending the knee to antisemitism — driven by its spineless leadership — fuels a cesspool of extremist riots and threatens our national security,” Noem said in the release.

“With anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology poisoning its campus and classrooms, Harvard’s position as a top institution of higher learning is a distant memory. America demands more from universities entrusted with taxpayer dollars,” she added.    One major detail of this story is the fact that if Harvard fails to comply with DHS requirements, they may lose the ability to enroll foreign students. That is huge.   

Harvard depends on enrolling foreign students, many of whom pay full tuition price. This is hitting them where it hurts most. Right in the wallet.

Trump to Harvard: FAFO

Regarding Donald Trump’s commitment to stamping out both anti-Semitism and DEI-driven racial discrimination at Harvard and other elite “educational” enclaves, the first two options appear to be nonstarters. So, Trump being Trump, he’s going all in on the third option.

The Associated Press sets the stage this way: “On one side is Harvard, the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university, with a brand so powerful that its name is synonymous with prestige. On the other side is the Trump administration, determined to go further than any other White House to reshape American higher education.”

We’re not so sure Harvard’s name is still “synonymous with prestige” — not after having been slapped by the Supreme Court two years ago for its racially discriminatory admissions policies, and not after having been taken to the woodshed by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for its willingness to accommodate Jew hatred. But whatever.

Earlier this week, Harvard used its official X account to announce that it wouldn’t accede to the Trump administration’s demands to stamp out the DEI and the anti-Semitism in its midst: “The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government.”

Not the Bee called ‘em out: “The federal government forcing you to obey the constitution is not the same as the federal government taking you over. But when you’re as intellectually dull as the people that work at Harvard, that’s what you think.”

Well, Harvard Students Don’t Have To Worry About Getting Jobs At These Firms Now, Dumbasses

Different kind of paper chase: In the wake of Oct. 7, a handful of Big Law firms criticized anti-Semitic protests at Ivy League law schools like Harvard and threatened to stop recruiting graduates from those schools. Now, the Harvard Law students who helped drive the protests are getting their “revenge.”

Harvard Law School’s chapter of the National Lawyers Guild recently hosted a “Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon.” Student activists gathered to “edit the Wikipedia pages of Big Law firms,” according to an announcement on Harvard Law School’s website. And while event organizers said they would target firms that argued cases they deemed unsavory, one participant, law student Aashna Avachat, took aim at two firms, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, that criticized anti-Semitism at Harvard.

“The edit logs show Avachat changed the term ‘antisemitic incidents’ to ‘pro-Palestine protests’ and reworded references to ‘incidents targeting Jewish students’ to incidents that the law firms ‘described … as antisemitic,'” reports our Chuck Ross. “Avachat herself was involved in one incident at Harvard in which her law school classmate, Ibrahim Bharmal, accosted and shoved a Jewish student during an anti-Israel ‘die-in.’ Avachat said she witnessed the incident and claimed Bharmal was protecting ‘peaceful protesters’ against an ‘aggressive’ Jewish student. Both Bharmal and another student activist, Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, were charged in connection with the ‘die-in,’ a case that Harvard delayed by refusing to cooperate with local prosecutors.”

The Problem With Harvard Graduates

I worked with them. They only thought they were smart. We knew they weren’t and did what we had to get the job done and keep them out of the process. Whatever they recommended was almost always a waste of time.

Ivy League Fatigue: Harvard Is Now Offering Remedial Math Courses

The Harvard losers can’t even do math. It’s what happens when you go woke (among the many reasons). This is supposed to be an elite institution of learning. Instead, it is an indoctrination center for the left.

Harvard: where the U.S. sends it’s best, it’s brightest and…it’s remedial math students?

That seems to be the case as social media has been abuzz in recent days over the university’s choice to offer a new Math course, called MA5, heading into the new year. The Harvard Crimson first wrote about the introduction of the new course back in September of last year, but discussion over the course has caught fire on X in recent days.

The course is called Math MA5, and it is an introductory course addressing gaps in students’ algebra skills, according to Brendan A. Kelly, Director of Introductory Math.

Which begs the question: why are students getting into Harvard incapable of doing algebra, which generally starts in junior high or high school?

Running alongside Math MA and MB, MA5 will have a five-day schedule, with students meeting “one of two instructors all five days” for “a variety of different activities” on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Crimson wrote last year. 

Kelly cited the Covid-19 pandemic as a factor in students’ struggles, saying, “The last two years, we saw students who were in Math MA and faced a challenge that was unreasonable given the supports we had in the course.” The goal is to “create a course that really helps students step up to their aspirations.” 

While structured differently, MA5 will align with Math M. “Math MA5 is actually embedded in Math M,” Kelly said. “They’ll have the same psets, they’ll have the same office hours, they’ll have MQC, they’ll take the same exams… So if you’re in MA5, you will experience Math M.”

The Crimson says that freshmen placing into Math MA or 1A had to take an additional skills check to guide enrollment recommendations.

Kelly said the department “investigated a number of different strategies” before deciding to enhance Math M rather than add a prerequisite. “What we thought was the best thing to do… was to add more time and support into MA for students who would need it.”

The goal is to help students overcome early challenges. “If the first one doesn’t go well, it can really make these lasting waves in their pathways,” Kelly said. “We want to make sure that students are on a path to success starting from their first day.”

FAFO – Radical Columbia Students Who Took Over a Campus Building Learn Their Fate

The spoiled children of indulgent parents have no conception of gratitude.

In like manner, privileged leftists who enjoy disproportionate protections for free speech have no idea what free speech really means.

According to WNBC in New York, officials at Columbia University in New York City have finally announced punishments for an unspecified number of students who forcibly occupied a building on campus last April as part of pro-Palestinian protests against the war in Gaza.

During those protests, a group of students used furniture and padlocks to barricade themselves inside Hamilton Hall.

The Columbia Daily Spectator, the university’s student newspaper, cited a social media post from a campus organization indicating that the university had suspended, expelled, or revoked the degrees of 22 students in total.

Of course, the announcement of these punishments occurred amid — surprise, surprise — rising tensions on the Ivy League campus.

60 universities under investigation by Trump admin for ‘antisemitic discrimination and harassment’

The Trump Department of Education investigating 60 universities for antisemitism and harassment, including Harvard and schools in the UC system

By: Jamie Joseph, Fox News, March 10, 2025:

ICE arrests anti-Israel activist behind Columbia protests as green card hangs in the balance

FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump’s Department of Education announced Monday that 60 universities are currently under investigation for “antisemitic discrimination and harassment,” Fox News Digital has learned.

“The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite U.S. campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement.

“U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal antidiscrimination laws.”

WAYNE ROOT: All Roads Lead to Obama. He is the Evil “Manchurian Candidate” and Communist Mastermind of Everything Bad That Has Happened to America and President Trump. And I’m a Witness- It All Started at Columbia University

By Wayne Allyn Root

All roads lead to Obama. He is the shot caller. He is the communist traitor behind everything bad that has happened to America, the US economy, and President Trump.

I believe it all started at Columbia University.

Yes, I have a history with Obama. We were college classmates at Columbia University. We were both Pre-Law and political science majors. We both graduated on the same day in 1983. We both went into politics eventually.

That’s where the similarities ended.

I’m a conservative warrior and capitalist evangelist. I made millions of dollars as a risk-taking entrepreneur in the business world. He became a “community organizer” (ie a communist traitor).

I’m pro-business. I believe in economic and personal freedom, free speech, limited government, low taxes and very little regulation.

Obama hates business. He believes in socialism, massive taxes and government regulation, the green energy scam, open borders and the weaponization of government against free speech.

Trust me, the root (excuse the pun) of everything bad that has happened to America is called “the Obama problem.” And the secrets to how it started are all found at Columbia University.

First, how did Obama get into Columbia? In those days there were virtually no college transfers accepted at Columbia. Only the number one student at Harvard might have had a shot. Maybe. But Barack was a lousy student coming from a mediocre college (Occidental). So how did he transfer into Ivy League Columbia in 1981? It was literally impossible.

I’ve always believed the only way Obama could have been admitted to Columba was as a “foreign exchange student.” Columbia U. loved letting in students from exotic countries- like Indonesia (where Obama grew up). It was a fast-track way to gain acceptance into Columbia.

Which is fine. Except for the fact that if Obama claimed Indonesian citizenship to get into Columbia U, then he was never qualified to serve as President of the United States.

Secondly, how did he graduate when he was never there? We were in all the same classes as Pre-Law and political science majors- yet I never saw him once. Neither did any classmate I’ve ever spoken to. Neither did any professor I’ve ever spoken to. Obama was literally “the Ghost of Columbia.”

I’ve always believed he was either a CIA plant who was given a Columbia U. degree without ever stepping foot on campus, or he spent his two years at Columbia’s sister school in Moscow studying Communism 101.

Either way, he’s a fraud and “Manchurian Candidate.”

Lastly, his entire agenda has always been built around a strategy we all learned at Columbia called “Cloward Piven.” This plan was created by two Columbia professors- a husband-wife communist team named Cloward and Piven.

Whether Obama was ever actually in class at Columbia, or not, his entire agenda and strategy has always been built around “Cloward-Piven.” This plan was a detailed “how to” strategy to destroy America, and capitalism, and the great American middle class, by getting everyone on welfare, food stamps and free healthcare, until the debt explodes, the economy is overwhelmed, and the country collapses.

Sound familiar? Recognize this plan? It’s exactly what was carried out in Obama’s two terms, and then exploded times one thousand in Obama’s third term (with brain-dead puppet Joe Biden as the frontman).

But instead of just trying to get everyone in America on welfare, food stamps and free healthcare, Obama expanded the plan on steroids with open borders. Obama and his communist cabal welcomed the entire poverty-stricken and welfare-dependent third world into America to bury our country with debt, overwhelm the economy, and collapse the country.

Obama also added another twist- which he probably learned from studying communism at Columbia’s sister school in the Soviet Union…

WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT.

Obama used government agencies to destroy his opposition- just like the Soviet KGB. Trump was the target. He received the bulk of the persecution and lawfare. First Obama ordered the spying on Trump and his campaign…then Obama ordered the persecution of Trump with a fraud called “Russian Collusion”…then Obama ordered the indictments against Trump…then Obama, in collusion with New York state communist politicians, ordered the civil suits against Trump to take away his assets and bankrupt him.

But long before the Trump persecution, there was my persecution.

Obama began and sharpened his obsession with weaponization by ordering the IRS to destroy his political opposition. Before he targeted Trump, he targeted yours truly.

I was at the top of Obama’s “Enemies List” for the “crime” of being a regular guest on Fox News and not only exposing Obama for the communist traitor he was (and still is), but also for daring to expose his scams at Columbia U.

Obama sent the IRS to destroy me from 2010 to 2013. I was attacked day and night by Obama’s version of the Gestapo/Soviet KGB. Like Trump, I survived, but lost tremendous amounts of money, and time, and endured tremendous stress and anguish.

I believe the attacks and scams perpetrated on America, capitalism, the US economy, and the great American middle class, all started at Columbia U. with Obama’s lies, fraud, scams, and”Cloward-Piven” education.

And the weaponization, lawfare and persecution perpetrated on President Trump, started with Obama persecuting his Columbia college classmate- Wayne Allyn Root.

My advice to President Trump, FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi…

First, all roads lead to Obama. He is the man behind the spying on President Trump, the “Russian Collusion” scam, the green energy scam, the intentional destruction of America with open borders, and the persecution of President Trump. It all starts and ends with Obama. He called all the shots. Investigate and prosecute Obama.

Second, the secrets that launched this evil communist “Manchurian Candidate” all started at Columbia University. Go back to Columbia. Demand to see Obama’s files. Demand to see how he admitted to Columbia. Demand to see his attendance records. This scam will all start to unravel.

All roads lead to Obama.

Swimmers Suing Ivy League Schools For Tranny Locker Room Harrassment

BREAKING. Huge lawsuit! Thread.

Three swimmers from Penn are suing the Ivy League and the NCAA for allowing a male (William “Lia” Thomas) to be in their changing room while they were completely nude and then allowing him to compete against them! 1/

2. They seek damages for “pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, suffering and anxiety, expenses costs and other damages.”

In case you didn’t know, these schools really allowed that man into their changing room and provided the ladies with no other place to change.

3. Female racing swimsuits are extremely tight and it’s very hard to wriggle into them. It takes a long time. They told these women to change in front of this man.

4. Thomas, who swam for Penn and graduated in 2022, won the Ivy League championship his senior year in the 500 freestyle, 100 freestyle, and 200 freestyle individually, as well as the 400 freestyle relay.

No kidding.

5. Harvard Athletics’ T-gender Inclusion Policy states that “Harvard Athletics actively seeks to create a space that is welcoming and inclusive to all identities; including but not limited to gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.”

What hogwash!

6. I hope these women get every single penny in endowment money these universities have.

Not only was he in the changing room when they were nude but he exposed himself to them!

I love how they have demanded a jury trial! May the jury be filled with people with common sense.

7. Riley Gaines and others who were in the room have noted that Mr. Thomas retained his franks and beans as do the overwhelming majority of these men. Many members of the public are unaware of this. Which may contribute to why some were ok with this.

He’s either demented (autogynephilia) or pulled of the biggest Animal House stunt on these girls and schools that he’ll talk about for the rest of his life.

Harvard and Stanford MBAs Struggling to Find Jobs

When reading this, it could be deduced that AI is taking some of the jobs. In reality, they aren’t getting the education companies want. They are indoctrination centers producing unqualified thinkers. The kids used to get jobs through the network of graduates from the Ivy Leagues, but business has changed and there are only so many Wall Street or crony capable jobs. People want educated decision makers and that is not what an Ivy League MBA has morphed into.

In reality, these schools are turning out one-sided leftists who are not critical thinkers. They lack the ability to view both sides of the facts and accept that there is merit in many sides of an issue when making decisions.

In other words, they are tired fo the crap these elitest kids are spewing and there is talent elsewhere that is worth hiring first.

The job market has turned unforgiving, even for graduates from elite institutions like Harvard Business School (HBS). A staggering 23% of HBS’s 2024 MBA graduates were still job-hunting three months after graduation, according to The Wall Street Journal.

This sharp increase from the 10% unemployment rate in 2022 highlights a tough economic climate where prestige is no longer enough. “Going to Harvard is not going to be a differentiator. You have to have the skills,” said Kristen Fitzpatrick, HBS’s head of career development.

Harvard’s struggles are part of a larger trend. Institutions like Wharton, Stanford, and NYU Stern have reported their worst job placement figures in years. At Northwestern’s Kellogg School, 13% of MBA graduates remained unemployed three months post-graduation, triple the number from previous years.

Liza Kirkpatrick, assistant dean at Kellogg, reassured, “No one is left on the field,” as schools ramp up efforts to support graduates.

The tech and consulting industries, traditionally key recruiters, have reduced hiring significantly. Companies like Amazon, Google, and McKinsey have scaled back MBA recruitment. McKinsey hired only 33 MBAs from Chicago Booth in 2024, down from 71 in 2023, WSJ reported.

The fierce competition has left graduates like Ronil Diyora, a University of Virginia Darden alumnus, disheartened. Diyora, who switched careers to technology, applied for over 1,000 roles and attended numerous networking events but remains uncertain about the value of his MBA.

Others, like Yvette Anguiano, who secured a consulting role with EY-Parthenon, face delayed start dates. Anguiano, whose start was postponed until June 2025, said, “I was pretty devastated,” as she juggles mounting student loans.

Poison Ivy’s: DEI and the Downfall of the Ivy League

I didn’t think they could get worse, yet here we are. They are Marxist indoctrination centers for kids that have stopped teaching them useful skills other than to be social justice warriors.

Our CriticalRace.org project doesn’t get as much coverage at this Legal Insurrection website as our Equal Protection Project (EqualProtect.org),
but it’s been chugging away documenting the spread of CRT and its
offshoots, like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, since February 2021.
Over 150 media outlets have linked to and cited the CRT databases, and over 600,000 users have performed almost 8 million actions.

We have expanded the interactive databases to now cover over 700 schools, including over 500 colleges and universities, all 156 Medical Schools, the military service academies, elite K-12 private schools, top business and veterinary schools, and DEI Certificate programs.


While others have moved on from CRT to other hot topics, we have
continued to update and databases and research, firmly believing that
just because the media spotlight has shifted, the importance of fighting
the racialization of education remains critical.We also have moved into content creation and analyis using the
databases as a source, including how the largest universities in states
that have ordered the elimination of DEI  have rebranded rather than eliminated the DEI agenda, and how DEI is active in the schools of the Southeast Conference. Expect more reports and analysis in 2025, plus a Parents Guide that is ready to be revealed soon.Our latest analytical report focuses on Poison Ivies: DEI and the Downfall of the Ivy League [full embed at bottom of post].



Fox News has picked up coverage, Report highlights prevalence of DEI at Ivy League institutions: ‘Dominant ideology’

The Equal Protection Project,
founded and led by Cornell professor William Jacobson, has released a
deep-dive report on the prevalence of diversity, equity and inclusion
(DEI) training at Ivy League universities.


In his comprehensive report, “Poison Ivies: DEI and the Downfall of
the Ivy League,” Jacobson examines programs the eight Ivy League
institutions use and require for students.


“The review of Ivy League practices by our CriticalRace.org
project reflects substantial efforts by Ivy League schools to purport
to comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action, while
maintaining work-arounds and DEI practices that continue the obsession
with racial identities,” Jacobson told Fox News Digital.


In his report, Jacobson shows how Ivy League institutions are
sidestepping the June 29, 2023, ruling by the Supreme Court that says
race cannot be used in admission decision-making at universities.


“Ivy League universities pretend not to take race into consideration
but then provide essay question opportunities for students to talk about
their race,” he said.


“The Supreme Court affirmative action ruling took place in the
context of university admissions, but it’s clear that the court’s
opinion at its core was an Equal Protection Clause ruling that applies
in other university contexts.”


In his report, Jacobson found that out of the eight Ivy League universities:


  • Four require DEI training in student orientation programs (Columbia, Harvard, Princeton and Yale).Six require faculty or staff DEI training in some capacity (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Penn, Princeton and Yale).All eight have DEI offices at the institutional and/or department level.Five have a strategic plan devoted to DEI or anti-racism (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth and Yale).All eight have DEI or CRT (critical race theory) topics in classes and curricula.All eight have bias reporting systems.

Jacobson said he found that while the universities “pretend” not to consider race, in practice, they often do….


“It’s hard to believe that in environments in which DEI is the
dominant ideology, taking on a quasi-religious fervor, that race does
not enter into admissions decisions in fact, even if there is
window-dressing to provide possible legal cover.”


* * *


The Equal Protection Project focuses on challenging race-based
discrimination. The organization has challenged over 100 scholarships
and programs discriminating against White and Asian students at
universities across the country.


“To fully achieve the nondiscrimination standards of the Supreme
Court ruling, the race-obsessed cultures at the Ivy League schools need
to change,” Jacobson said. “It will be a long process. The Supreme Court
ruling was just the first step.”

Poison Ivies: DEI and the Downfall of the Ivy League

Harvard Law black enrollment tanks—NYT frets there’ll be fewer Barack Obamas and Ketanji Brown Jacksons…

Maybe we can stop Marxists like Obama and Kenji Brown from destroying America based on their free ride.

After the Supreme Court’s decision to axe unfair, DEI-driven, race-based admissions, some law schools are seeing a sharp decline in black and Hispanic students. The steepest drop is happening at Harvard. The so-called “pinnacle of excellence” sacrificed its reputation to prop up the left’s DEI charity agenda. Now, thanks to the Supreme Court, Harvard will be forced to admit students based on merit, not skin color—which is a win for everyone. After all, no one should want a handout they didn’t earn.

However, not everyone sees it that way. The folks over at The New York Times are tied up in knots over the decline in racist school admissions. Apparently, they’d rather universities pick students by skin color than by excellence—and they’re perfectly fine watching greatness take a nosedive across business, education, medicine, and beyond. And by the sound of their new article, it seems NYT is terrified there will be fewer Barack Obamas and Ketanji Brown Jacksons in the ranks.

We’ve covered the DEI disaster from every angle, and it all adds up to the same failed equation: your business, country, hospital, or university can’t be the best if you’re hiring subpar candidates just to fill a progressive “guilt quota.” We recently published a fascinating article exposing the truth about DEI Black students at Penn State. It’s a real eye-opener.

Revolver:

Isn’t it ironic how the left touts itself as the champion of fighting “disinformation,” yet they’re the ones silencing the truth and punishing anyone brave enough to speak out? This is especially true when it comes to topics like black crime statistics and DEI students who aren’t cutting the mustard. So, if you dare to talk about real, raw issues, especially involving black students, you’re instantly labeled a “racist,” blacklisted, and shut down. That’s exactly what’s happening to University of Pennsylvania Professor Amy Wax, who dared to discuss the fact that no black students made it into the top quarter of Penn Law School’s class of 2023.

Of all of Professor Amy Wax’s myriad sins against the Woke worldview, the one that seems to have gotten the Penn Law School administration most obsessively angry with her was what she told Brown U. economist Glenn Loury during a 2017 podcast discussing the “downside of affirmative action. According to CNN:

“Here is a very inconvenient fact Glenn, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of the class and rarely, rarely in the top half,” Wax told Brown University professor Glenn Loury in a video of the interview that recently gained attention.

Of Course Luigi Mangione Went To An Ivy League School

Months before police identified Luigi Mangione as the man they suspect gunned down a top health insurance CEO and then seemingly vanished from Midtown Manhattan, another disappearing act worried his friends and family.

The 26-year-old scion of a wealthy Baltimore family who was a high school valedictorian and an Ivy League graduate, Mangione had maintained an active social media presence for years, posting smiling photos from his travels, sharing his weightlifting routine and discussing health challenges he faced.

He publicly kept track of nearly 300 books he had read or wanted to read, even posting a favorable review of the Unabomber manifesto on a book website.

Those institutions of indoctrination turn out losers. He’s just one in a line of many. I’m not saying they are murderers, but they are losers each in their own way.

That’s Like A Black KKK Course Or A Jewish Nazi Class

Oh FFS. Marxists Killed the queers and had no use for them. When will this woke crap stop? Are they trying to do to the Ivy League what the Liberals did to the Democrat Party?

Cornell University students can take a course on “Queer Marxism” next semester that asks questions such as “Are queer theory and Marxism truly irreconcilable.” 

The course description stated that the course will compare two visions of society that many have thought could not be joined. 

“While queer studies emerged in part as a rejection of Marxism’s totalizing approach and Marxists have criticized the queer emphasis on individuals, this seminar explores the potential of bringing the two fields together,” it says. 

The course will not explore this possible union of the two theories by one taking over the other. Students will study a dual influence, examining the effect of one theory on the other, and vice versa.

“We will consider how queer critiques of reproductive futurism, racial capitalism, and homonationalism can transform the legacy of Marxist theory and practice,” the description says. “At the same time, we will examine Marxist notions of totality, reification, and value to re-envision the scope of queer politics.”

Students will further examine the principles of queer and marxist theory as they manifest in historical examples. “After covering these key Marxist and queer theoretical concepts, the seminar will turn to transnational Marxist debates on gender and sexuality in Weimar Germany and the Soviet Union,” the course says. 

The university’s Feminist, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program is offering Queer Marxism. The program’s mission is to “to address some of the most important issues the world faces today,” particularly “by offering students the opportunity to study a wide range of fields from the perspectives of feminist and LGBTQIA critical analysis, in global and local contexts and with the purpose of promoting social justice.”

Harvard, More Ivy League Loser Antics – Student President Of Harvard’s Institute Of Politics Calls For End Of Non-Partisanship After Trump Victory

Go to the last sentence, that tells you everything you need to know about Harvard.

The president of Harvard University’s Institute of Politics has declared that the lesson of the blowout 2024 election is not a need for greater inclusivity and balance at the school but, you guessed it, the express abandonment of nonpartisanship going forward. While many would argue that the school left neutrality behind years ago, Pratyush Mallick is calling in an op-ed for The Harvard Crimson for an official change. It would align the Institute with the building “resistance” and reject not just nonpartisanship but neutrality in its programs and grants.

After the election, I wrote that people hoping for a moment of introspection after the Trump victory will likely be disappointed, and the rage in the media and academia will only likely increase.” That has unfortunately proven to be the case. The meltdown after the presidential election appears to be building rather than subsiding with attacks from the left on male, female, and minority voters as racists, misogynists, or despotic dupes.

The call for partisanship at Harvard is not unique. Before the election, I criticized Wesleyan University President Michael Roth for urging universities to abandon neutrality and work openly for the election of Kamala Harris. Immediately after the election, Roth doubled down and promised to join the “resistance” against Trump’s “authoritarian” regime.

A few weeks before the election, I participated in a debate at Harvard Law School over the lack of free speech protections and intellectual diversity at Harvard.

This year, Harvard found itself in a familiar spot on the annual ranking of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE): dead last among 251 universities and colleges.

The Anti-American Ivy League Comes Through Again

Columbia is the home of the Frankfurt School of Marxism. Marx wanted to bring down all of Western Civilization so I guess it isn’t surprising.

Columbia University activists are planning a protest of Veterans Day — which organizers want to “reclaim” from the “Israel-US wr machine” in the name of Palestinians killed in Gaza.

The unsanctioned student group Columbia University Apartheid Divest is circulating flyers for the event — set for Monday on the Ivy League school’s main Morningside Heights campus.

“Veterans Day is an American holiday to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of veterans. We reject this holiday and refuse to celebrate it,” a flyer for the agitator group’s event said.

“The American war machine should not be honored for the horrors unleashed on others,” the flyer added. “Instead, we will celebrate Martyrs Day in honor of those martyred by the Israel-US war machine. A day to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of those martyrs.”

Campus veterans outraged by the plans are planning a celebration of veterans at the same time to counter the antagonists.

The protest was viewed as a slap in the face after the on-campus vitriol sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel — much of which wound up directed at student-veterans.

“That post really shook the hornet’s nest,” said Sam Nahins, a 31-year-old Air Force veteran and Columbia graduate student who completed his undergraduate at the school in the spring.

“They’ve never hid their disdain for veterans. But now it’s really out in the open,” he added. “Last year when students and faculty members were running around dressing up as jihadist and screaming death to America, death to western civilization, death to everything but their cause, I had friends get called infidels, and murderers and baby killers.”

Harvard Professors Cancel Classes as Students Feel Blue After Trump Win

At 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Sophia R. Mammucari ’28 woke up to a phone call from her mom — and the news that Donald Trump had been officially reelected.

“I still had some hope that she was going to win by a small amount. And then I woke up this morning, and that’s not what happened,” Mammucari said. “I probably cried for like an hour.”

On election night, students gathered at viewing parties hosted by friends, House tutors, the Institute of Politics, and the Harvard Republican Club to watch results roll in.

The next morning, they woke up to a somber campus.

When Samantha M. Holtz ’28 googled the presidential election’s outcome before her Wednesday morning swim practice, her “heart dropped a little bit.”

“Being at Harvard, I was surrounded by a lot of people who were very pro-Harris, so in my mind it was already a decided election,” Holtz said. “It was a little bit shocking to me.”

Harvard donations plunge 15% as alumni cut ties over weak response to campus antisemitism

Harvard University warned that donations to its endowment have nosedived as outraged alumni cut ties with the school over its feeble response to on-campus antisemitism.

Cash gifts to the Ivy League school fell about 15% to less than $1.2 billion during the fiscal year ended June 30, according to a Harvard financial report released Thursday.

Harvard was mired in controversy after Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel. Like other elite colleges across the US, pro-Palestinian students protested and set up encampments on Harvard’s campus.

Tensions boiled over when Harvard’s then-president Claudine Gay refused to condemn student groups that held Israel “entirely responsible” for the Oct. 7 attacks.

Soon after, deep-pocketed donors – including billionaire investor Len Blavatnik and hedge fund titan Ken Griffin – suspended giving to the university. Less-wealthy alumni also abandoned their contributions.

Well, Columbia Is The Home Of The Frankfurt School Of Marxism

Columbia’s Student Protesters Really Have Embraced Hamas – these are the real modern day Nazi’s

I touched on this earlier this week when Columbia’s anti-Israel group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), held a walkout/protest on the anniversary of 10/7, but I think it probably deserves more attention. 

You may remember this guy, Khymani James, one of the student organizers at Columbia who made news earlier this year when a video circulated of him saying, “Zionists, along with all white supremacists, need to not exist.” He added, “Be glad, be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”

After this made news in April, James was suspended and CUAD put out a statement, apparently from James himself, apologizing for his comments.

“CUAD
and the Gaza Solidarity Encampment have made clear that my words in
January, prior to my involvement in CUAD, are not in line with the CUAD
community guidelines. I agree with their assessment,” the apology read.
“Those words do not represent CUAD. They also do not represent me.”

This
week, CUAD reversed course, not only saying it regretted its earlier
statement but making it plain that the group supports violence, i.e. it supports Hamas.

The
pro-Palestinian group that sparked the student encampment movement at
Columbia University in response to the Israel-Hamas war is becoming more
hard-line in its rhetoric, openly supporting militant groups fighting
Israel and rescinding an apology it made after one of its members said
the school was lucky he wasn’t out killing Zionists.

“We support
liberation by any means necessary, including armed resistance,” the
group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, said in its statement
revoking the apology.The group marked the anniversary of the Oct.
7 attack on Israel by distributing a newspaper with a headline that
used Hamas’s name for it: “One Year Since Al-Aqsa Flood, Revolution
Until Victory,” it read, over a picture of Hamas fighters breaching the
security fence to Israel. And the group posted an essay calling the
attack a “moral, military and political victory” and quoting Ismail
Haniyeh, the assassinated former political leader of Hamas.




Hamas’ goal is to kill Jews, civilian or otherwise, and drive them
from the land. This is what “from the river to the sea” has always
meant. Now the group which ran the Columbia protests and inspired
similar protests around the country is flat out saying they support the same thing.

Harvard Eliminates Over 30 Fall Courses, Mostly ‘Far-Left History and Literature’

As I read it, I can’t believe they charged $84,000 to teach this kind of stupid ass woke crap to students. No wonder kids don’t want to go there anymore (see a couple of posts below)

Well, feast on this:

Harvard cancels over 30 courses; far-left History & Literature classes hardest hit

Harvard has canceled over 30 fall semester courses encompassing 20 departments, but the History and Literature department took it on the chin the hardest.

According to The Crimson, Hist-Lit Director of Studies Lauren Kaminsky said class offerings dropped from 19 to 13 classes after five lecturers either departed or chose to do something else.

The canceled Hist-Lit courses include “British Soft Power from Shakespeare to Dua Lipa,” “Marx at the Mall: Consumer Culture & Its Critics,” “Global Transgender Histories,” “Indigenous Genders and Sexualities in North America,” “The Making of Race across Latin America,” and “Global Histories of Capitalism.”

The course description for “Global Transgender Histories” noted students “will become familiar with some of the global vocabulary of gender identities beyond the binary and will understand the historical impacts of phenomena such as racism, imperialism, and [the] medicalization on gender identities.”

Students also would’ve “discovered” the diversity of “gender-variant people” via “religious texts, poetry, art, legal cases, travelogues, newspapers, films […] and oral histories.”

In “Indigenous Genders and Sexualities in North America,” students would have gained knowledge about the “foundations of settler colonialism” and the “resistance to it” via “poetry, memoir, speculative fiction [and] media.”

They also would “interrogate” various works in order to grasp “the anxieties, joys, and power that arise when Indigenous people embrace their bodies.”

I Can Answer That, No, They’re Not Worth The Investment

College Admissions Expert Wonders if Ivy League Schools Are Still Worth the Investment

College admissions expert sends shocking message about Ivy League prestige: ‘Is it worth the investment?’

What’s in a name like Harvard, Yale, Brown or Princeton? If you ask college admissions strategist Greg Kaplan, the answer might surprise you.

It’s an age-old question that resonates among a slew of ambitious soon-to-be college students and their aspirational parents caught in the fervor of the rankings race, pursuing the dream of “going Ivy” – or having some other elite university’s name stamped on their resume – with unrelenting zeal.

But Kaplan warns that such tunnel vision can obscure what truly matters in the search for success.

“We really have to ask ourselves, ‘what are our kids learning at these schools and is it worth the investment?’ Because if they’re going to be exposed to this groupthink where there’s no room for civil discourse, that is unacceptable because they’re not equipped to go into the real world. And what you see is our young people who are getting fired from tech companies because they’re using their jobs as a chance to do political protest, and then they’re complaining about it,” Kaplan said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.

“We really have to ask ourselves, ‘what are we getting in return for this? And are they going to be able to do what they want to do?’ It’s okay to spend less on college because guess what? That allows you to invest more in their futures, so I think when someone says, ‘I’m going to community college, I’m going to transfer,’ that’s fantastic. You’re increasing the return on investment.”

The California-based expert works with families to help students gain admission to colleges of their choice – looking beyond recognizable names to help students get accepted to schools that are great matches for them.

Harvard to train ‘planetary healers’

The planet is sick, so says the environmentalists, but here comes Harvard University heal it.

The Ivy League university, where freshmen need refresher courses on algebra, will now offer a concentration (fancy word for “major”) in “Climate Change and Planetary Health.”

“The idea is that we move from an understanding of planetary health to training planetary healers,” Professor Christopher Golden told The Crimson.

“We see climate change as one of the most important existential threats that is affecting public health,” the faculty co-director also told the student newspaper.

Healing the planet includes confronting “structural racism,” too.

Once Again, Ivy League Schools Rated Worst by Free Speech Group

Four elite Ivy League institutions ranked at the bottom of 251 U.S. colleges and universities for their free speech climate as rated by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, with Harvard finishing last for the second straight year.

FIRE published its College Free Speech Rankings on Friday, with Harvard tying a record it set last year with a 0.00 score and an “abysmal” rating. But it was not alone. Columbia University also was given a 0.00 score and “abysmal” rating; and New York University, which finished 249th, was given an “abysmal” rating but had a 3.33 score. The University of Pennsylvania finished 248th, with a “very poor” rating and 12.53 score.

“With scores ranging from zero to 100, NYU plummeted nearly 30 points this year, and Columbia fared even worse, becoming the second school after Harvard to ever receive a zero,” Sean Stevens, FIRE’s chief research analyst, wrote in a news release.

“And Columbia, like Harvard, actually received a negative score that we ’rounded up’ to zero. The only reason Columbia was spared from receiving the title of this year’s Worst College for Free Speech is that Harvard’s actual score was even worse, a full 21 points lower.”

Columbia President Resigns – 5th Ivy League Diversity Hire To Go

Minouche Shafik resigned Wednesday as Columbia University’s president, ending an embattled 13-month term during which her New York City campus was the scene of a series of chaotic and sometimes violent protests by students, faculty and other activists. 

Protests over the Israel-Hamas war began in October and continued through much of the winter at Columbia and many other schools. The protests intensified in April after Shafik testified before Congress

The protests divided the campus, with many Jewish students saying they were fearful to pass by demonstrations. Shafik faced a backlash after calling on city police to break up an encampment, and again when students and others took over an academic building. 

She has seen tenuous support from faculty and administrators, as well as calls from some alumni and donors to resign. She is the fifth Ivy League president to step down over the past year. 

story (might be behind a paywall)

So all of them are Diversity hires that had to resign, all female, all unable to lead and deal with the anti-semitism because they were for it. Hey Ivy League, get people who are qualified and not biased.

Now, if Columbia can get rid of the Frankfurt School of Marxism, it might have a chance at being decent.

FAFO – ‘Pig Male Jew’: Ex-Cornell Student Who Threatened to Kill and Rape Jews Heading to Federal Prison

Former Cornell University student Patrick Dai, who threatened to perpetrate heinous crimes against members of the school’s Jewish community after Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel, was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison on Monday, the US Department of Justice announced.

Last October, Dai raised the possibility of antisemitic violence at Cornell when he posted several statements calling for murdering Jews and raping Jewish women on a popular social media forum. In addition to threatening the lives of Cornell’s 3,500 Jewish students, who are 22 percent of the school’s student population, the posts threatened an attack on a campus kosher dining hall — named 104West  — affiliated with the Steven K. And Winifred A. Grinspoon Hillel Center.

“Gonna shoot up 104 west… Allahu akbar! from the river to the sea, palestine will be free! glory to hamas! liberation by any means necessary!” one of his posts said. Another read, “If I see a pig male jew i will stab you and slit your throat. if i see another pig female jew i will drag you away and rape you and throw you off a cliff. if i see another pig baby jew i will behead you in front of your parents [sic].”

The Justice Department said Dai also vowed to “bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig Jews.”

What A Surprise, Anti-Israel Protests Are Overwhelmingly An Elite College Problem

Once again, the privileged and their urchins are thinking they rule the world. Someone needs to teach them about real life.

The anti-Israel, anti-American, anti-western, anti-capitalist, pro-Hamas, ‘by any means necessary’ campus protests and Tentifadas are not a working class movement.

But you knew that, because we have covered dozens of these protests and even casual observations reflect that, with some exceptions, this is a movement of elite kids at elite schools. Those casual observations are substantiated by a deep analysis by the lefty Washington Monthly (WM).

Nate Silver comments on the WM analysis:

“Of course the stereotype was that these protests were concentrated at expensive elite colleges but I didn’t realize the rather extreme extent to which that’s actually true.”

From the Washington Monthly analysis, Are Gaza Protests Happening Mostly at Elite Colleges?

We at the Washington Monthly tried to get to the bottom of this question: Have pro-Palestinian protests taken place disproportionately at elite colleges, where few students come from lower-income families?

The answer is a resounding yes.

Using data from Harvard’s Crowd Counting Consortium and news reports of encampments, we matched information on every institution of higher education that has had pro-Palestinian protest activity (starting when the war broke out in October until early May) to the colleges in our 2023 college rankings. Of the 1,421 public and private nonprofit colleges that we ranked, 318 have had protests and 123 have had encampments.

By matching that data to percentages of students at each campus who receive Pell Grants (which are awarded to students from moderate- and low-income families), we came to an unsurprising conclusion: Pro-Palestinian protests have been rare at colleges with high percentages of Pell students. Encampments at such colleges have been rarer still. A few outliers exist, such as Cal State Los Angeles, the City College of New York, and Rutgers University–Newark. But in the vast majority of cases, campuses that educate students mostly from working-class backgrounds have not had any protest activity. For example, at the 78 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) on the Monthly’s list, 64 percent of the students, on average, receive Pell Grants. Yet according to our data, none of those institutions have had encampments and only nine have had protests, a significantly lower rate than non-HBCU schools.

There It Is – Employers more skeptical of hiring Ivy League grads

It specifically says Ivy League schools. It also says that they are more likely to hire from public Universities.

So all of that money gone to waste. An Ivy League degree was a virtual hall pass to a job. They managed to screw that up by being assholes and Jew Haters. Compound that with DEI and you get a toxic graduate.

Those of us in the working world knew that the Ivy Leaguers were losers and not that smart. We had to work around them, but now they will have a hard time getting a foot in the door.


Results follow reports of grade inflation, plagiarism, antisemitism, and more

An Ivy League diploma is losing its worth in many employers’ eyes.

A recent Forbes survey found employers have grown more skeptical of applicants from the most prestigious schools in the U.S. in the past five years – a period marked by race-based admissions, grade inflation, antisemitism, plagiarism, and leadership “double standards.”

According to the survey, one in three employers said they are less likely to hire an Ivy League graduate than they were five years ago. Meanwhile, only 7 percent said they were more likely to hire them.

Employers’ hesitation was specific to the Ivy Leagues, too.

The survey found 42 percent of hiring managers are more likely to hire public university graduates and 37 percent private university graduates, compared to five years ago.

What’s more, hiring managers were three times as likely to say public universities have improved in preparing students for jobs than Ivy League universities.

Princeton Anti-Israel Hunger Strike At Day 8 With No Apparent Exit Strategy

Let them starve. They are a bunch of silver spoon in the mouth mush for brain commie elitist Jew haters in training. The whole country is sick of their whining for the side of evil.

When we first checked in on the ‘Hunger Strike for Palestine’ at Princeton University this week, the strikers were upset that no one at the school was monitoring their health.

Now they seem angry that they’re being ignored. Worse still, they don’t seem to have any identifiable exit strategy.

From the progressive site Democracy Now:

“We Feel Unheard”: Hunger-Striking Princeton Students Vow to Fast Until Divestment Demands Are Met

Over a dozen students at Princeton University have been on hunger strike for the past week as part of a Gaza solidarity encampment on campus protesting Israel’s war on Gaza and calling on the university to disclose and divest from companies with ties to Israel, among other demands. The hunger strikers are also calling for all charges to be dropped against a number of students arrested on campus in late April as part of the encampment.

Areeq Hasan, a graduating senior at Princeton who has not eaten for a week, tells Democracy Now! the hunger strike was a response to the university’s stonewalling. “We feel unheard at every step of the way, so therefore we resorted to a hunger strike,” says Hasan, noting the long history of hunger strikes as a means of protest. “It is in solidarity with the history of Palestinian political prisoners since 1968. … We’re tapping into this long-standing tradition with both Palestinian political prisoners and also in the Irish and Indian liberation movements.”

Cornell: Another Woke Leader Bites The Dust

Cornell President Martha Pollack Resigning

“Martha Pollack was the architect of Cornell’s disastrous race-focused DEI initiative that balkanized the campus, and inevitably led to targeting of Jewish and pro-Israel students. While I wish her well in her personal life, it is time for the Cornell Trustees to turn the ship around, to eliminate DEI programming as is taking place elsewhere, and to refocus the campus on the inherent dignity of each individual without regard to group-identity.”

… The campus has become balkanized by an aggressive focus on racial, ethnic, religious, gender, and other identities through an “anti-racist” and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” agenda imposed on the campus by the senior administration. The “anti-racism” initiative was launched in the summer of 2020, and has included or is moving towards mandatory training, education, and programming that forces everyone to view their lives and relationships through their identities.

Almost everything now is viewed through an identity lens, pitting groups against each other, pitting colleagues against one another, and pitting students against their peers. There is substantial evidence that such DEI programming makes race and other relations worse, not better. We are seeing that play out in real time in the Cornell community.

This has led to an unhealthy environment at Cornell in which multiple surveys show that high percentages of students are afraid to express their viewpoints. DEI as practiced at Cornell is damaging to freedom of expression, and makes the current year of free expression theme on campus inconsequential, if not nearly satirical.

FAFO again, woke and DEI ruin everything it touches.

FAFO – 13 Federal Judges Say They Will No Longer Hire Law Clerks From Columbia University, Citing ‘Virulent Spread of Antisemitism’ and ‘Explosion of Student Disruptions’

Not only that, they are using AI to identify the losers who were protesting.

Thirteen federal judges said Monday that they would no longer hire law clerks from Columbia College or Columbia Law School after the university allowed an encampment on its lawn to spiral into a destructive occupation of a campus building. The judges cited the “explosion of student disruptions” and the “virulent spread of antisemitism” at Columbia, which has now canceled its main graduation ceremony because of the unrest.

Led by appellate judges James Ho and Elizabeth Branch, who spearheaded a clerkship boycott of Yale Law School in 2022 and Stanford Law School in 2023, as well as by Matthew Solomson on the U.S Court of Federal Claims, the judges wrote in a letter to Columbia president Minouche Shafik that they would no longer hire “anyone who joins the Columbia University community—whether as undergraduates or as law students—beginning with the entering class of 2024.”

“Freedom of speech protects protest, not trespass, and certainly not acts or threats of violence or terrorism,” the judges wrote. “It has become clear that Columbia applies double standards when it comes to free speech and student misconduct.”

Pro-Hamas Harvard University students removed American flags on at least three campus buildings. I suspect many Americans were surprised to learn that Harvard actually flew the American flag. Old Glory was replaced by the Palestinian flag. Later, police restored the flags as outraged students jeered. As the staff removed the flags, protesters yelled “Shame!” and chanted “Free, free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Seems to me if an American university refuses to fly the American flag, we should refuse to send them any tax money.

FOX News reports:

Columbia student banned from campus after remarks about ‘murdering Zionists’

The Columbia University student who discussed “murdering Zionists” was “banned from campus” Friday, according to a university spokesperson.

Junior Khymani James expressed “regret” early Friday after he went viral online for previously suggesting people should be “grateful” he wasn’t “murdering Zionists,” whom he likened to “White supremacists” and “Nazis.”

Without explicitly mentioning what they were, James copped to inflammatory comments that were first reported by The Daily Wire, during a livestream of an official Columbia inquiry in January.

“I actually kind of hope they do kick me out because I’ve been meaning to travel to South America,” James said of whether he would remain on as a student at Columbia during the livestream.

University sources told Fox News Digital disciplinary proceedings are now underway.

Before the news James was banned, Columbia put out a campus update calling the video “extremely alarming and upsetting.”

“Calls of violence and statements targeted at individuals based on their religious, ethnic, or national identity are unacceptable and violate university policy,” the statement said. “When there are violations of student conduct policies, they are reviewed and disciplinary measures are applied.”

“What is a Zionist? A White supremacist,” James said in the resurfaced video.

Pro-Palestinian students set up ‘liberation zone’ encampment in Harvard Yard

Pro-Palestinian students set up an anti-Israel encampment Wednesday in Harvard Yard despite the university issuing restrictions for the area all this week.

At one point, as many as 500 people participated in the protest, demanding “divestment” from Israel and urging the university to reverse its decision to suspend the Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee, The Harvard Crimson reports. Many similar demonstrations have taken place on campuses across the country in the past week.

“We call on you to share our anger as a starting part to continue and constant mobilization,” one organizer told the crowd. “Now more than ever, when Harvard most wants for us to be silent, we have a duty to speak out louder than ever. Free, free Palestine.”

Afterward, students began setting up tents and sleeping bags on the lawn despite signs warning of disciplinary measures if they “bring in unauthorized structures such as tents or tables or block access to building entrances,” according to The Crimson.

video on the Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee’s Instagram account shows students cheering loudly and beating drums as others rush to erect tents and place sleeping bags on the lawn.

Why You Shouldn’t Send Your Kids To Harvard

The leftists at the Harvard Crimson have spoken out against transgender athlete bans and claimed that the evidence to support the case that men have a physical advantage over women is “less conclusive.”

However, in the process of making the assertion, the article ignored all evidence to the contrary to support their own claim that transgender athlete participation is wholly benign.

In the college paper’s April 16 editorial, entitled, There Are Many Obstacles Facing Women’s Sports. Trans Athletes Aren’t One, writer Jonathan G. Yuan writes for The Crimson Editorial Board that the “science” is “less conclusive” that “transgender women hold a biological edge over their cisgender opponents.”

Harvard Medical “Expert” Disqualified in Federal Court Case Due to “Overwhelming” and “Misleading” Plagiarism

As we have reported, senior officials at Harvard have repeatedly been accused of plagiarism over the last year:

And of course, Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned, or was forced out, over rampant plagiarism charges:

So, I suppose it should not have been a surprise when late last month a federal judge disqualified a Harvard Medical School doctor for rampant plagiarism, but it was to me. In my former life as a patent litigation attorney, we often used experts in federal court cases to “establish” certain facts about complex technologies that are beyond the comprehension of everyday people like you and me.

This is allowed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the disclosure of the expert’s qualifications and the basis for his or her expert opinions is tightly controlled:

[A] party must disclose to the other parties the identity of any [expert] witness it may use at trial to present evidence…this disclosure must be accompanied by a written report—prepared and signed by the witness—if the witness is one retained or specially employed to provide expert testimony in the case or one whose duties as the party’s employee regularly involve giving expert testimony.

You can find Judge Dalton’s Disqualification Order here. It makes for good reading.

Judge Dalton summed up:

In sum, the rampant plagiarism in Dr. Panigrahy’s report leads the Court to conclude that his general causation methodology as a whole is too unreliable to put before a jury. So Lockheed’s motion to exclude Dr. Panigrahy is due to be granted in full. With Dr. Panigrahy excluded, there is no reliable general causation testimony on any of the types of cancer at issue, so summary judgment is due to be granted in favor of Lockheed on the exposure claims of [22] Plaintiffs.

That means Lockheed wins the case, and these Plaintiffs’ claims against Lockheed are dismissed, with prejudice, meaning these claims may not be brought again in any court of law.

Dr. Panigrahy’s report was so bad that it made Nathan Schachtman’s Wall of Shame blog, who went over the Lockheed case, Dipak Panigrahy – Expert Witness & Putative Plagiarist, and then noted Dr. Panigrahy’s current job title:

Your Friday Harvard Fail, Plus Trouble At The Fed

Another day, another diversity hire fail, another Harvard Plagiarism story, another Democrat ruining our lives story. This is a person who is supposed to help with inflation, the money supply and our price of gas and groceries. We’re fucked.

Here goes.

Lisa D. Cook is one of the world’s most powerful economists. She taught economics at Harvard University and Michigan State University and served on the Obama administration’s Council of Economic Advisers before being appointed, in 2022, to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, which controls the interest rates and money supply of the United States.

Despite her pedigree, questions have long persisted about her academic record. Her publication history is remarkably thin for a tenured professor, and her published work largely focuses on race activism rather than on rigorous, quantitative economics. Her nomination to the Fed required Vice President Kamala Harris to cast a tie-breaking vote; by contrast, her predecessor in the seat, Janet Yellen, now Treasury secretary, was confirmed unanimously.

The quality of her scholarship has also received criticism. Her most heralded work, 2014’s “Violence and Economic Activity: Evidence from African American Patents, 1870 to 1940,” examined the number of patents by black inventors in the past, concluding that the number plummeted in 1900 because of lynchings and discrimination. Other researchers soon discovered that the reason for the sudden drop in 1900 was that one of the databases Cook relied on stopped collecting data in that year. The true number of black patents, one subsequent study found, might be as much as 70 times greater than Cook’s figure, effectively debunking the study’s premise. 

Cook also seems to have consistently inflated her own credentials. In 2022, investigative journalist Christopher Brunet pointed out that, despite billing herself as a macroeconomist, Cook had never published a peer-reviewed macroeconomics article and had misrepresented her publication history in her CV, claiming that she had published an article in the journal American Economic Review. In truth, the article was published in American Economic Review Papers and Proceedings, a less prestigious, non-peer-reviewed magazine.

Top Diversity Official at Columbia University Medical School Accused of Plagiarism – Another Ivy League Loser School

Campus Reform reports:

Columbia medical center DEI head plagiarized Ph.D. dissertation, complaint alleges

The leading Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) officer at a major New York City medical center has recently been accused of plagiarizing nearly a fifth of his Ph.D. dissertation.

Citing a recently submitted anonymous complaintThe Washington Free Beacon on Feb. 29 wrote that Alade McKen “plagiarized extensively in his doctoral dissertation, lifting entire pages of material, without attribution, from sources that include Wikipedia.”

The Free Beacon shared a side-by-side comparison of excerpts from McKen’s Iowa State University doctoral dissertation that closely resemble the work of other authors and Wikipedia.

“A complaint filed with Columbia yesterday implicates approximately a fifth of McKen’s 163-page dissertation,” Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium posted to X the same day as the article’s publication. “Over two of those pages are a near-verbatim facsimile of Wikipedia’s entry on ‘Afrocentric education,’ which McKen never cites.”

McKen’s dissertation, entitled, “‘UBUNTU’ I am because we are: A case study examining the experiences of an African-centered Rites of Passage program within a community-based organization,” was written for a Ph.D. program on education, social, and cultural studies at Iowa State in 2021.

The complaint accuses McKen of plagiarizing more than 30 authors for his dissertation, with some listed in a bibliography but none apparently included for in-text citations.

One of the scholars that McKen allegedly plagiarized from, Chika Ezeanya-Esiobutold the Free Beacon that she found the evidence supporting the allegations to be convincing.

“The passages you shared can definitely be classified as plagiarism,” she told the outlet.

Columbia also is the Frankfurt School of Marxism. One of the worst VP’s I’ve ever worked with is from there. He had a fuse shorter than gnats dick. He ruined IBM for me within months of me hiring on. I was in self defense mode to just not have to deal with assholes like that.

Your Tuesday Harvard Report – Probe Finds Harvard ‘Honesty’ Prof Who Allegedly Tampered With Data Should be Fired

The New York Post reports:

Harvard professor of honesty tampered with data and should be fired: university probe

A celebrated Harvard honesty professor who researched why people cheat tampered with data in her work — and should be fired, a university probe released this week found.

Francesca Gino, a star behavioral scientist at Harvard Business School whose work has focused on dishonesty, was found to have tweaked observations in four studies so that their findings boosted their hypotheses, according to a nearly 1,300-page report detailing the school’s months-long investigation.

“The committee concludes that Professor Gino has engaged in multiple instances of research misconduct, across all four studies at issue in these allegations,” the report read.

Gino, a star academic who had authored over 140 academic papers and snagged numerous awards, came under fire last year after a trio of behavioral scientists published a series of explosive posts on their blog Data Colada, writing four academic papers published between 2012 and 2020 that the Harvard professor had co-authored “contained fraudulent data.”

The university report detailed that Harvard began a preliminary investigation of Gino’s work in October 2021 after the Data Colada researchers brought their concerns about the papers’ sketchy data to the school.

A full probe was conducted in 2022 and 2023, with three HBS faculty members interviewing Gino and people who worked with her on the papers, in addition to reviewing her data, emails, and papers’ manuscripts. An outside forensics firm also was hired to analyze her studies’ data.

When asked about the issues with her work, Gino told investigators either she or her research assistants may have made errors when handling the data — or someone with “malicious intentions” could have tampered with it, according to the university report.

The investigators rejected both theories and provided findings to HBS Dean Datar in March 2023, advising the school to place her on unpaid leave and begin termination proceedings.

Harvard fellow charged with attempting to smuggle $4 million in weapons for coup in South Sudan

Seriously, do we need to close this dump and re-boot it as an actual University that is normal? I thought they were just woke retards, but now they are terrorists also?

A Harvard University fellow has been charged with attempting to buy and smuggle millions of dollars in arms to South Sudan to aid in a coup.

Peter Biar Ajak, 40, fled South Sudan with the help of the American government four years ago after claiming that he was a target of the country’s president, the Daily Mail reported. He was granted refugee status, and has been working as a fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

But Ajak, and his confederate Abraham Chol Keech, a naturalized U.S. citizen who lives and works in Utah, are now alleged to have been on a buying spree to send $4 million worth of Stinger missile systems, grenade launchers, sniper rifles, automatic rifles, and ammunition back home to support a violent uprising, according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed March 4.

Harvard’s Plagiarism Problem Multiplies

Harvard has a plagiarism problem. At the beginning of the year, Claudine Gay resigned as university president following a plagiarism scandal. Weeks later, the Washington Free Beacon published a report indicating that Harvard’s chief diversity officer, Sherri Ann Charleston, apparently plagiarized passages in multiple academic papers.

Now allegations have emerged that another Harvard DEI administrator, Shirley Greene, of Harvard Extension School, plagiarized more than 40 passages of her 2008 dissertation, “Converging Frameworks: Examining the Impact of Diversity-Related College Experiences on Racial/Ethnic Identity Development.” According to the Harvard directory, Greene is a Title IX coordinator affiliated with the Office for Gender Equity. She has worked to advance “Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging,” and hosted a panel on “The Past, Present, and Future of Juneteenth” in conjunction with the DEI department.

Totalitarianism: Ivy League Students In Favor Of Destroying America Through Restriction Of Goods And Services

The left have finally won the thought battle for those who think they are better than others. It figures that it would come from the Ivy’s

A survey released in January found that a terrifying majority of Ivy League students are in favor of destroying America through the restriction of basic goods and services.

Just when you thought America’s Ivy League education system couldn’t get any more disgusting, a survey published by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity showed just how dire things have become in the minds of those graduating from these schools. Some 89% of Ivy League graduates would be fine with “strict rationing of gas, meat, and electricity to fight climate change,” as Dr. Kevin Bass wrote on Twitter.

Aside from wanting society to collapse and starve, a majority of Ivy Leaguer’s also feel like the economy is doing fine, they trust the government to “do the right thing most of the time,” and that teachers should have more power than parents. And most of these scumbags are huge fans of President Joe Biden and think Americans have too many individual freedoms.

What type of totalitarian psychopathy are they breeding at these schools?!

As a result of this survey, can we stop pretending that kids who go to expensive schools with big names like “Harvard” and “Yale” are any smarter than most other college graduates? Having worked with PhD candidates from schools ranked from Walden to Harvard, I can tell you, that there’s no difference in the intellect of people graduating from these institutions.

Story

I had to work with these people and it was clear that they only thought they were smarter, but it was clear that they weren’t. We even played on their ego to get done what needed doing by letting them think they were doing something smart as we sent them off on tasks that would stop them from interfering with us getting the work done. When we knew we could manipulate them, it just showed how smart they really weren’t. 

I wouldn’t waste a dime sending a kid there for an education. They get indoctrinated by this leftist spew. It’s people like this that show up at Davos.

When the SHTF, these are the first to go, often by fragging.

How And Why (And Hopefully) The Ivy League Will Die

The responsibility for the destruction of the Ivy League lies not with wokeness nor diversity hires nor a naive donor class, but with the people who are supposed to be keeping the lights on.

Have you ever met a college admissions officer? Who does he or she remind you of?

The answer is: “someone who works at the DMV.” Put nicely, they’re people who’ve done the best they could with limited options. Put cruelly, they’re midwits on a power trip. Perhaps a tad less cynical. A little skinnier. Glasses a bit higher end. But platonically speaking, college admissions officers and DMV workers emanate toward the same form: the ultimate low busybody.

DMV workers afflict the immense class of drivers with their mediocrity. Admissions officers’ victims are a smaller set — people who go (or don’t go because of them) to college. An even smaller set are those who go to colleges that matter, usually measured at about 200 or 300 schools in the mass field of 4,000 predatory loan farms that offer college degrees. And even smaller still are those who go to the best of the best, the places that supposedly mint the leaders of the Western World, the Ivy League.

Why Universities Are Failing

The obvious is that they are run by liberals. It’s the same group of people who were protesting in the 60’s that never left school and took it down the drain.

Now DIE, CRT, victimhood, affirmative action and other nonsense policies have made the sheepskin and education you were supposed to get worth little to not much.

Gone are the days when the best tried their hardest to get in and then get ahead. Besides being woke, the Ivy’s discriminate against Asians and Whites, forcing them to have higher entry standards so that the schools can manipulate their quota’s.

It’s not fair to the students who don’t get in, nor to the students who did get in but can’t keep up. At this point, I could get into the failure of the education system feeding the colleges, but that’s not the point.

While Harvard is the poster boy for the issue, it by no means has a stranglehold on this problem. The California schools are just as woke and have been since hippies.

Since I’m taking university classes right now (Hillsdale College), I’d advise students and parents to evaluate carefully how they spend their money, not waste it.

More on Meritocracy:

We need to return to meritocracy and not diversity for the sake of appearances. It’s not fair to anyone and is only a position of bending over to the woke. Stop it.

Harvard President Claudine Gay claims that she is being forced to resign because of racism. As Greg Gutfeld aptly observed on Fox, Gay is not a victim of racism — she was appointed because she is the beneficiary of racist policy. Ms. Gay is a sterling example of how DEI is the antithesis of meritocracy.

While it may seem that Gay is on the chopping block because of plagiarism or her defense of calls for anti-Jewish genocide, the real reason for her downfall is her lack of qualifications for the job. She was appointed not because she was the best or the brightest, but because she fit the diversity profile that Harvard wanted. Gay is the perfect symbol for a university that has become a bastion of left-wing ideology and the enemy of meritocracy.

Does Harvard really want diversity? If you are a conservative professor, try to get hired at Harvard. People who demand diversity, such as the people who run Harvard, are against viewpoint diversity — also known as free speech. Diversity means “it is great to look different as long as you think the way I do.” Conservatives need not apply.

Your Wednesday Harvard Fail Report, Diversity Hire Resigns, Of Course Claims Racism

The Harvard Crimson reported that President Claudine Gay will resign on Tuesday afternoon:

Harvard President Claudine Gay will resign Tuesday afternoon, bringing an end to the shortest presidency in the University’s history, according to a person with knowledge of the decision.

University Provost Alan M. Garber ’76 will serve as Harvard’s interim president during a search for Gay’s permanent successor, the Harvard Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — announced in an email on Tuesday.

Harvard spokesperson Jonathan L. Swain declined to comment on Gay’s decision to step down.

Gay’s resignation — just six months and two days into the presidency — comes amid growing allegations of plagiarism and lasting doubts over her ability to respond to antisemitism on campus after her disastrous congressional testimony Dec. 5.

Gay’s resignation letter contains no denials or admitting concerning plagiarism. She also did not mention antisemitism.

Glenn Reynolds wrote, “Not-so-great people tend to choose not-so-great people. In this, Harvard is like so many of our institutions, in and out of academia. If the best people aren’t getting to the top — if, in fact, the people at the top are often the worst people and are consistently mediocre — then your selection process is at fault. And if you don’t want to change the selection process, then you’re happy having your institutions run by bad leaders, with the inevitable results. That’s where we are all across America today.”

Al Sharpton said, “President Gay’s resignation is about more than a person or a single incident. This is an attack on every black woman in this country who’s put a crack in the glass ceiling.” He of course lives as a race hoax hustler for money who has lied to get where he is (Tawana Brawley)

Your Thursday Harvard Report, Plagiarism 101, DEI And A Failure Of Leadership

Harvard president Claudine Gay has been embroiled in controversy for
minimizing Hamas terrorism and plagiarizing material in her academic
work on race. Both scandals have discredited her presidency, but neither
should come as a surprise. Throughout Gay’s career at Harvard—as
professor, dean, and president—racialist ideology has driven her
scholarship, administrative priorities, and rise through the
institution.Over the course of her career, Gay quietly built a “diversity” empire
that influenced every facet of university life. Between 2018 and the
summer of 2023, as the dean of the largest faculty on campus, Gay
oversaw the university’s racially discriminatory admissions program,
which the Supreme Court found unconstitutional. Even after the court
issued its ruling earlier this year, Gay said that it was a “hard day”
and defended the university’s policies, which were deemed discriminatory
against Asian and white applicants. Gay promised
to comply with the letter of the law, while remaining “steadfast” in
her commitment to producing “diversity”—a not-so-subtle message that
Harvard would find a way, as the University of California has done, to
evade the law in practice.

As president, Gay leads a sprawling DEI bureaucracy—officially, the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging—that seeks to influence how students speak, think, and behave in relation to race. Though the university deleted nearly all DEI materials from its website following President Gay’s disastrous congressional testimony related to the Hamas terror attack, I have recovered some of these documents through an Internet archive. Harvard’s DEI administrators encourage students to internalize the basic narrative of critical race theory: America is a nation defined by “systemic racism,” “police brutality,” “white supremacist violence,” and the “weaponization of whiteness.” In another resource, students were invited to “unpack” their “white privilege” and “male privilege,” and to consider their “white fragility,” which stems from “the privilege that accrues to white people living in a society that protects and insulates them from race-based stress.”

Columbia students call Hillary Clinton class huge disappointment

Hillary Clinton’s fall class at Columbia University felt more like being in a “late-night talk show” audience than a college course, one of many complaints from underwhelmed students, according to a Huffington Post op-ed published Sunday.

Clinton did not read students’ assignments, attend discussion sessions, or hold office hours, and students complained that their questions about controversial topics were avoided, according to the piece.

The column by student Cate Twining-Ward was headlined: “I Thought Taking A Class Taught By Hillary Clinton Would Be Empowering. I Was Wrong.” Twining-Ward expressed her disappointment about the class and interviewed a few of her peers, one of whom said, “I could have learned everything just from reading her memoir.”

The class, “Inside the Situation Room,” taught by Clinton and international relations Professor Keren Yarhi-Milo, focused on “how to analyze and understand the complex interplay between individual psychology, domestic politics, public opinion, bureaucracy, the international environment, and other factors which feed into decisions about foreign policy,” according to the course description.

But Twining-Ward said it “wasn’t really a class — it was a production.”

A filming crew recorded every class, and their equipment tear-down cut half an hour from every session, she wrote.

“Together in class and on tape, we acted much like an audience at a late-night talk show, distracted by the cameras and yet immersed in the vanity of the production,” Twining-Ward wrote. “We followed an unspoken script where we were both active and passive at once — expected to laugh at certain anecdotes, but not encouraged to raise our hands.”

Harvard Guarantees Mediocrity, Anti-semitism And Wokeness

Harvard University announced Tuesday that under-fire President Claudine Gay will keep her job — even after reportedly losing more than $1 billion in donations since her disastrous congressional testimony about antisemitism.

The Harvard Corporation — the university’s highest governing body — made its announcement Tuesday following night-long talks between Gay and university leaders, a source familiar with the decision told the student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson.

“As members of the Harvard Corporation, we today reaffirm our support for President Gay’s continued leadership of Harvard University. Our extensive deliberations affirm our confidence that President Gay is the right leader to help our community heal and to address the very serious societal issues we are facing,” the group said in a statement.

It acknowledged that the university should have released an “immediate, direct and unequivocal condemnation” of Hamas’ terror attack on Oct. 7, noting “Calls for genocide are despicable and contrary to fundamental human values” — in apparent contrast to Gay’s testimony last week.

Ackman, the CEO of Pershing Square, has made a name for himself as an outspoken critic of Ivy League presidents whom he accuses of failing to stamp out antisemitism on campuses.

That escalated after Gay, Magill and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth failed to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews at their schools during a fiery congressional hearing.

As well as the hit on its reputation, Harvard has suffered a staggering financial loss in the scandal, the hedge funder claimed.

“President Gay’s failures have led to billions of dollars canceled, paused and withdrawn donations to the university,” he wrote in a letter to the school’s governing board of directors on Sunday, which he also posted online.

“I am personally aware of more than a billion dollars of terminated donations from a small group of Harvard’s most generous Jewish and non-Jewish alumni.

The Hill reports:

Penn loses $100 million donation after antisemitism hearing

The University of Pennsylvania (Penn) lost a major $100 million donation on Thursday amid the fallout from Penn President Liz Magill’s comments at a recent House hearing on campus antisemitism.

In a letter to Penn Senior Vice President Wendy White, lawyers for Ross Stevens, the founder and CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, said Stevens would be withdrawing his gift, now valued at about $100 million, that was expected to fund the Stevens Center for Innovation in Finance.

Stevens’s lawyers allege Penn violated the terms of Stone Ridge’s limited partner agreement with the school.

“Mr. Stevens and Stone Ridge are appalled by the University’s stance on antisemitism on campus,” Stevens’s lawyers wrote. “Its permissive approach to hate speech calling for violence against Jews and laissez faire attitude toward harassment and discrimination against Jewish students would violate any policies or rules that prohibit harassment and discrimination based on religion, including those of Stone Ridge.”

The letter noted Stevens and Stone Ridge would be open to discussing the matter further and would give the school the chance to “remedy” its alleged violations of the agreement.

“Until then, there can be no meaningful discussion about remedying the University’s ongoing failure to honor its obligations,” attorneys Neil Barr and Dana M. Seshens wrote.

Stevens is a graduate of Penn and also has a child who recently graduated from the school. Another one of his children is a junior at the university.

“Absent a change in leadership and values at Penn in the very near future, I plan to rescind Penn’s Stone Ridge shares to prevent any further reputational and other damage to Stone Ridge as a result of our relationship with Penn and Liz Magill,” Stevens wrote in a note to his staff on Thursday. “I love Penn and it is important to me, but our firm’s principles are more important.”

The report shows 78.9 percent of grades given out in the 2022-23 school year were an A or A-. This is a slight dip from the 2020-21 school year when 81.97 percent of grades were above a B.

“As you can see, a large majority of grades in Yale College are in the A range (A or A-),” Dean Pericle Lewis told the student newspaper. “This results in compression, making it difficult for instructors to use grades for their intended purpose of helping students understand areas of strength and others that need attention.”

Professor Ray Fair, who provided the report to the student newspaper, said the inflation is a leftover from the COVID-era. “Some thought [the COVID effect] would be temporary, but it has more or less persisted. [It’s] probably the faculty going easier on students because COVID was a pain,” he told the student newspaper.

By comparison, students in the 2010-11 school year were less likely to earn a graded in the A range. Only 67.23 percent of students that year earned an A or A-.

There is a difference between the hard sciences and the liberal arts, particularly majors such as gender studies and African-American studies.

“In general, STEM subjects seem to have lower percentages of A-range grades, and humanities subjects seem to have higher percentages,” the student newspaper reported.

For example, only half of economics students achieved an A. Meanwhile, 82.21 percent of African American studies students earned an A or A-, according to the reported data for courses with an “[e]nrollment greater than 500.”

The student newspaper also provided data from several courses with lower enrollment. The numbers show 92.6 percent of gender studies’ grades were in this range.

This is not the only Ivy League that has seen high grades. Harvard University gave 79 percent of students an “A” grade in the 2020-21 school year according to data released this semester. This is a 20 percent increase from a decade ago, as previously reported by The College Fix.

Scholars who oppose grade inflation have reportedly found themselves out of jobs as a result of their decision. This includes former Indiana University-Northwest scholar Mark McPhail and Kendrick Morales at Spelman College.

Some professors have explicitly advocated for easier grading in the name of gender equality.

Your Saturday Harvard Report – Students Occupy University Hall For 24 Hours – Accomplish Nothing

Do you really want to hire these idiots for your business? I know I wouldn’t waste money on them, like their parents did.

Pro-Palestine Harvard University students ended a 24-hour campus occupation Friday, listing their demands which included the administration to “call for an immediate ceasefire” in the Israel-Hamas war.

Student group, Harvard Jews for Palestine (HJP), organized an occupation of the school’s University Hall on Nov. 16, posting a statement to Instagram regarding their reasons for the sit-in. About a dozen students initially occupied the hall, according to The Harvard Crimson, which led the Harvard University Police Department to block access to the building and tighten security nearby.

“We are a collective of anti-Zionist, non-Zionist, and Zionist questioning Jewish students at Harvard who call for an immediate ceasefire, Palestinian liberation, and the protection of pro-Palestinian voices on this campus and across the world,” the post stated. 

Ivy League universities across the United States have seen a divide among students and faculty since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel. More than 30 student groups at Harvard posted an open letter on the night of the Hamas attack blaming the “Israeli colonial occupation” for the war.

Since the open letter, donors and alumni have fled the school due to its failure to not take a stance against the rising anti-Israel rhetoric on campus. Billionaire Lex Wesner called out the school in a letter condemning them for not taking a “clear and unequivocal stand against the barbaric murders of innocent Israeli civilians by terrorists.”

Harvard students who had backed the anti-Israel letter were later doxxed by a truck driving around campus revealing the names and photos of students who allegedly had signed it. 

Harvard President Claudia Gay officially released a statement on Nov. 9 calling out the antisemitism on campus stating that the school was committed to “doing the hard work to address this scourge.” The HJP, however, stated that they stood in “complete solidarity” with the pro-Palestine student groups that had backed the open letter. 

“We do not feel at all unsafe, but rather deeply empowered by their presence on this campus, and we aim to amplify their fight through our uniquely Jewish perspective,” the HJP post continued.

A student in the University hall was filmed during the sit-in calling to protestors outside who could be heard cheering them on as demands were yelled from inside of the building.

“Our demands are for the university to call for an immediate f*cking ceasefire…Our demands are for the university to support and protect students who are vulnerable. Like you guys who have been f*cking doxxed,” the student yelled. “And for them to stop conflating anti-Zionism and antisemitism, because babe it’s not the same thing. We go to Harvard and we have some big f*cking brains.”

Along with the ceasefire request, the HJP noted that they wanted the school to establish an investigation committee that would look into “anti-Palestinian racism” and the “suppression of pro-Palestine advocacy,” according to a supporting student group. 

The HJP protestors eventually left the hall without their demands being met, and it is unclear if any of the students will face disciplinary actions.

Your Wednesday Harvard Report – Proving The Students Are In An Inoculation Facility

It used to be that you’d have to look to point out the lack of education they get at Harvard, or any of the Ivy’s. I’d see it at work whenever they’d try their classroom techniques to fail spectacularly.

Now, they announce their deficiencies while still in school.

This Harvard Student Group Wants To Combat ‘Misinformation’—By Promoting News Sources That Peddle Hamas Propaganda

School’s Palestine Solidarity Committee, which blamed Israel for Hamas’s attack, is now blaming the media for biased coverage

The school’s Palestine Solidarity Committee, which penned the infamous student group statement that held Israel “entirely responsible” for Hamas’s attack, last week criticized American news sources for pushing “misinformation” on the “violence in Gaza.” The group urged its followers to instead get their news from Gazan “journalists,” who the group said are “working on the ground to convey the reality of being Palestinian in Gaza right now.”

Those so-called journalists, however, have for weeks shared false and misleading claims on the war, some of which has come from Hamas itself. Nearly all of the Palestine Solidarity Committee’s suggested news sources, for example, parroted the now-debunked Hamas claim that Israel bombed the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds of innocent civilians in the process. Another committee-endorsed source—a Twitter account called “Times of Gaza”—has used years-old photos from Syria to claim that Israel is using white phosphorus in its retaliatory attacks on Hamas.

Harvard graduate student union endorses anti-Israel BDS movement

Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, more than 60 percent of Harvard University’s graduate student union voted Friday to endorse statements endorsing the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement against Israel.

Approximately 64 percent of about 600 union members voted Friday in support of a BDS statement from some rank-and-file members of the United Auto Workers, the national union to which the Harvard Graduate Student Union belongs, The Harvard Crimson reported Monday.

The BDS movement promotes withdrawing business from companies, groups and institutions with ties to Israel.

The statement demands the end of “occupation and colonization of all Arab lands” and has not been adopted by the UAW, according to The Crimson. 

The turnout for the vote was the largest in the union’s history, excepting votes pertaining to contracts.

The Harvard Crimson reports:

Harvard Proctor Indefinitely Relieved of Duties Following Confrontation at Pro-Palestine Protest

A Harvard College proctor has been indefinitely relieved of his duties following his involvement in a confrontation at a pro-Palestine protest, according to a petition that began circulating Friday evening and a student with direct knowledge of the situation.

According to the petition, the First Year Experience Office — which oversees freshmen residential life — notified Elom Tettey-Tamaklo on Wednesday that he would be relieved of his proctor position “for an indeterminate amount of time.”

Tettey-Tamaklo, who is a second-year student at Harvard Divinity School and a proctor for Thayer Hall, declined to comment.

Proctors are Harvard graduate students, instructors, or staff who oversee a group of freshmen. They are unpaid and receive compensation in the form of meal swipes and housing in a freshman dorm. According to the petition, Tettey-Tamaklo was asked to vacate Thayer on Friday.

“Elom’s treatment by the Residential Life administration seems to be in direct conflict with Harvard’s supposed ‘vital commitment to free expression,’” the petition states. “Expressing and organizing around our beliefs should not place us in jeopardy of housing or vocational insecurity.”

Your Thursday Harvard Report – Anal 101

If these kids are so smart, you’d think they’d be going to college to get more for their money than this. I went to College decades ago and no one had to teach me about this stuff. What we didn’t know, we figured out, like everyone does.

I wonder if the parents go along with this because of the Harvard name. You’d think they’d have a little more respect for their kids than to send them for this.

Harvard University is holding a “Sex Week” that includes lessons like “Anal 101,” according to their event page.

The week is hosted by Sexual Education by Harvard College Students (SEHCS), which was founded in 2012, and is taking place between Oct. 30 to Nov. 5, according to their website. Other events during the week include “Caring for Your Coochie: Healthy Vulvovaginal Practices,” “I Can See Queerly Now: Demystifying LGBTQIA+ Intimacy” and “A Different Toy Story: Sex Toys 101.”

“Every year, we’re lucky to host workshops and presentations with educators from around the country.  The Sex Week ‘sex’perts do a fabulous job teaching our community about topics that range from ‘getting cliterate,’ to the philosophy of porn, to body positivity during intimacy, and so much more,” their website reads.

Experts from the Boston’s Children’s Hospital will be headlining the “Caring for Your Coochie: Healthy Vulvovaginal Practices,” according to Harvard Sex Week’s Instagram. The SEHCS also held a “Anal 101” event on “all things anal, from safety to pleasure” on Tuesday.

“Our workshops are lead by experts in the fields of sexual health and intimacy, who ensure that each individual in attendance leaves feeling knowledgeable and empowered.  We firmly believe that it’s just as important to get an education inside the bedroom as it is inside the classroom,” the website reads.

Multiple sexual product companies including Astroglide, Boy Butter, Condomania, EmojiBator Vibrators and BananaPants, are sponsoring the events, according to the event’s website.

Harvard and SEHCS did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
