Things at Harvard just keep getting better.

“Around 30 Harvard professors gathered inside a university library Wednesday to hold a “study-in” protest in solidarity with pro-Palestine students who were punished for participating in a similar demonstration last month.”

Minor edit in first paragraph: “pro-plagiarism,”

(I remind myself how to spell “plagiarism” because for some esoteric reason I know how to spell “parliament”)

This just makes it an even more exclusive club with incoming students who self select to serve The Hive. Not an improvement.

Harvard need not change anything at all in regards to its anti-USA, anti-capitalism, jew hating, pro-Hamas policies.

They still take in enough money each year from donations plus the earnings from their massive endowment to keep their doors open.

As for applicants to Harvard, they still have many more applicants than available seats, so that too is not a problem.

Harvard will not change because they have enough dough to do whatever they damn well please.
Further, the elites of the USA, Jewish or not, for the most part are liberal progressive / socialists (if not outright communists) – perfectly in accord with the faculty / administrative politburo of Harvard – and they agree that Israel should be removed from planet earth.
These elites will keep funneling $$$ and applicants to Harvard.

Much more effective is to pull Harvard’s tax exempt status. We should check Harvard’s vast privilege by making them pay capital gains on their gargantuan endowment like the rest of us. Including even “unrealized” capital gains like those proposed by Harris. The overwhelming favorite of Harvard’s administrators , faculty and students. Trust me, this they would feel. Next we can pull their federal funding although most important is their privileged tax position which is really the source of their strength. Many in the know have said that at root Harvard and other top universities are primarily hedge funds with a small and exaggerated educational component. Pulling their tax exempt status is a just answer to the toxicity with which they have been polluting their student’s minds and the culture more generally.
