Президентши универов продолжают показания в Конгрессе


The presidents of Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania were forced to issue statements clarifying their responses to a US congressional hearing on antisemitism after a barrage of criticism from business leaders and politicians that shows few signs of abating.

Тhey even drew a rebuke from the White House.
“It’s unbelievable that this needs to be said: Calls for genocide are monstrous and antithetical to everything we represent as a country,” stated Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman.

Some saw legal strategy in Gay’s testimony because of a complaint opened by the US Education Department. Harvard’s effort to shield itself from litigation led to Gay “grotesquely claiming that calls for genocide are acceptable on campus,” said Rebecca Brooks, director of advocacy for the Harvard Jewish Alumni Association.

“Harvard is retroactively inventing an interpretation of its own guidelines to pretend that it has complied with its policies and hasn’t shirked its most basic duties to protect students on campus,” said Brooks.

Two Massachusetts Congressmen, both Democrats and Harvard alumni, condemned their alma mater in a joint statement on X.

“Harvard ranks last out of 248 universities for support of free speech,” wrote Seth Moulton and Jake Auchincloss. “But when it comes to denouncing antisemitism, suddenly the university has anxieties about the First Amendment. It rings hollow.”

Какой то невероятный дурдом. Непонятно даже зачем это надо. Как-то мне не верится, что дело в пещерном антисемитизме. Похоже тут очень много арабских денег

не думаю, что именно антисемитизм, просто новая теория-религия про oppressors/oppressed, white vs non-white, decolonization etc
