COLLEGE PRESIDENTS’ DOUBLE STANDARD AND INSTITUTIONALIZED CAMPUS ANTISEMITISM
By
Post Editorial Board
Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Published Dec. 6, 2023, 7:57 p.m. ET
The presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania testified
before a House committee about antisemitism on campus on Tuesday. AP

If they made nothing else clear, elite university presidents testifying Tuesday
certainly showed they’re not serious about dealing with antisemitism.
The Harvard, MIT and University of Pennsylvania chiefs all admitted that
antisemitism is a problem, but dodged and weaved about confronting the hate.
All quickly retreated to a “free speech” defense, claiming their hands are tied
by their duty to allow unfettered dialogue.
Funny: The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression ranked Harvard the
worst school for free speech in 2023, with an “abysmal” record, and Penn as the
second-worst. (MIT is just middling.)
In other words, these universities have been letting the left shout down
unwelcome ideas; they’re discovering the dire need to protect “dissent” only now
that Jewish students are being assaulted, intimidated and forced to hide their
identities as crazed peers (and professors) defend Hamas’ slaughter of innocent
Israelis.
They also dodged rather than discuss what if any discipline is underway against
students who’ve engaged in outright violence.
It was all fuzz, fuzz, fuzz.
Harvard’s Claudine Gay said: “My administration has repeatedly made crystal
clear that antisemitism and other forms of hate have no place at Harvard.
Threats and intimidation have no place at Harvard.”

Then Rep. Elise Stefanik pushed: Are calls for a “global intifada” acceptable?
Gay asserted over and over that she found the rhetoric “personally abhorrent,”
but wouldn’t say if it violates Harvard’s Code of Conduct.
In fact, none of the three would explicitly say that calling for the genocide of
Jews would breach their schools’ rules.
Gay hedged: It’s “at odds with the values of Harvard.”
Penn’s Liz Magill blurred: It’s “a context-dependent decision.”
MIT’s Sally Kornbluth fudged: Calls for genocide constitute bullying and
harassment if “targeted at individuals” and not “public statements.”
If calls for mass killing don’t blatantly violate your code of conduct, then
that code might be useless.
All three of these presidents should resign: Their “leadership” tells you why
the majority of Jewish college students are terrified — with 73% report
experiencing or witnessing antisemitism on campus this school year.
Gay tried to clean up after herself the next day, tweeting, “Calls for violence
or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic group are
vile, they have no place at Harvard, and those who threaten our Jewish students
will be held to account.”
Held to account how?
And: She couldn’t think to spell that out in her prepared testimony for a
hearing on campus antisemitism?
Then again, it took her four rounds of statements after Oct. 7 to get around to
a full-fledged condemnation of Hamas’ terrorism and antisemitism generally.
At which point more than 100 faculty wrote her to complain that she’d gone too
far.

What do you think? Post a comment.
Which gets to how deeply this hate is embedded in modern academia: Many of the
kids chanting “from the river to the sea” likely don’t realize they’re mouthing
Hamas’ genocidal slogan, because neither their profs nor campus “leaders” like
these presidents have spelled it out for them.
Bottom line: Three leaders of America’s top universities basically just proved
that antisemitism is the most protected speech on campus.
The hate is institutionalized.
