Removing Claudine Gay won’t change a thing at the odious Harvard

Claudine Gay is a symptom of a systemic issue that s been pervasive at Harvard for quite some time.

We would be naïve to believe her removal would result in a change in an already-hardened belief system on campus.

If Gay were fired, her replacement would benefit from reduced scrutiny since most people are focused on the person and not the system that elevates someone like Gay into power.

Once the conflict between Israel and Gaza comes to a grinding halt and media attention sways to the next outrageous story, the general public will follow suit.

Even threats from alumni like Bill Ackman of pulling donor money are a minor financial inconvenience to an institution that has an endowment of more than $50 billion to sustain itself.

If you give it enough time, the leftist monsters Harvard created will become the next generation of donors, and they ll have no problem feeding a system that encourages bombast and behavior we find deplorable.

Harvard has long been facilitating the rhetoric of radical left-wing activists who were openly calling Israel an apartheid state, pushing for its eradication and supporting BDS (boycott, divest, sanction) efforts against Israel.

On a 2015 Harvard Law panel, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors publicly advocated the end of Israel to bring liberation to the Palestinian people: Palestine is our generation s South Africa. If we don t step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that s called Israel, we re doomed.

Too true. Harvard has lots of President Gays and can always recruit more. I bet the faculty does support her. Can other Harvard “stakeholders” — donors and alums — make Harvard change? I doubt it.
