Harvard University has suffered numerous blows to its prestige in recent years, but generally these have been earned. A recent report by Harvard’s Office of Undergraduate Education determined that Harvard has inflated grades for students so much that more than 60 percent of grades awarded to undergraduates are A’s. If everybody gets an A, merit … Read more
A courtroom battle between the president and Harvard University has reached a dramatic apex. The Trump administration seeks to terminate potentially billions of dollars in federal grants to Harvard University, which has, in turn, sued to compel the government to pay. Massachusetts US District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs has signaled that she is unimpressed … Read more
Harvard is one of many universities pissing and moaning about the Trump Admininstrations opposition to the discrimination embdedd in DEI programs. They must divest themselves of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion cult to get future federal funding. After all, this is the sort of top-down, swift-acting, executive-mandated government you asked for, and DEI is one … Read more
Dear Members of the Harvard Community,
Four score and seven semesters ago, our board brought forth on this great campus a new leader conceived in equity and dedicated to the proposition that all women are to be believed – unless they are black, apparently.
The Boston Globe, Michele Wu (Boston’s mayor), Ibram X Kendi, and others cite racism in the forced resignation of Claudine Gay. This is a patent lie. Claudine Gay was put in her position by the Harvard Corporation headed by Penny Pritzker, who was an early financial supporter of Obama for his presidential campaign back in 2008.
Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackerman took to X to share some thoughts, not just about Harvard, anti-semitism, racism, and anti-racism, but a deep-dive analysis of DEI, the appointment of Claudine Gay as President, and inside baseball at Harvard, which he suggests should result in its full board tendering their resignations.
The story of the sudden collapse of Harvard President Claudine Gay’s career should have nothing to do with DEI. The storyline should be about someone not qualified and prepared for the job being removed before any more damage could be done to the Harvard brand. But Gay herself made this situation about race with her poorly worded resignation.
Claudine Gay was celebrated as the first black woman president of Harvard. She is not the first black woman to have reached the giddy heights of leadership in the US however. Before she came along there were several notable ambitious and brilliant black women: Condoleezza Rice, Jennifer Rubin, Shirley Chisholm to name a few.
The 640 professors who signed the letter in support of Claudine Gay are all professors at a University whose motto is “Veritas” — the Truth. “Veritas” is used in the mottos of a number of other educational institutions as well.
When Hamas terrorists attacked and killed thousands of Jewish citizens, our current President Biden eventually did the right thing and supported Israel while condemning Hamas. That good thing isn’t lasting very long, though, as now he wants to send $2 billion of taxpayer relief money to Gaza.
What was the reaction of certain Harvard student leaders to Hamas’ attacks on Israel? Blame Israel. The Jews had it coming. See the tweet below. Harvard – and I am sure its peer colleges and universities- are apparently places where it is considered normal to condone killing Jews.
This week at the Republican Primary Debate, Nikki Haley referred to Donald Trump as the “most disliked politician in America”, apparently missing the irony of the moment given he didn’t attend the event because his popularity among the American voter is off the charts relative to her and the rest of the field.
It’s wicked expensive living near or around the City of Boston, so what are poor Harvard Grad Students to do when an institution with a 53 billion dollar endowment leaves them to fend for themselves? The cure is to sign them up for SNAP, the federal food assistance program.
The US Supreme Court has ruled that college admissions policies based on race are a no-go. The cases involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina, Harvard, for under-enrolling qualified Asian applicants while UNC was accused of failing to achieve diversity by other means.
After looking through the extensively documented and verified communications, pictures and overt commissions on the Hunter Biden laptop, as presented in the Marco Polo report, the magnitude of the Biden crime family is as global as it is unnerving. The amount of criminal activity in the United States alone is enough for Hunter, his dad … Read more
Get your “surprised look ready.” Experts from Harvard and Johns Hopkins co-published some research a few weeks ago that suggests the COVID19 vaccines are more dangerous than the Flu itself, and I can’t find any local press on it.
A group of distraught Dems in Massachusetts have discovered that the State Legislature has the constitutional authority to make changes at Harvard. The University. With an over 40-billion-dollar endowment, think of the possibilities.
On the eve of President Trump’s departure from office, and following the recent mayhem at the Capitol, Democrats and the left have engaged in what can only be called a feeding frenzy.
It’s no secret – at least around here – that wind power is an incredibly dirty energy source. The meager output and life expectancy can’t begin to abate the destruction required to make and dispose of them. They kill birds, bats, and now, according to Harvard, they warm the planet.
This is a quick note to let parents of seventh graders at the Cooperative Middle School in Exeter that a transgender (trans-male) athlete is scheduled to speak to your kids tomorrow. You may be fine with that, or not, but did you know?
