"Come to the Dark Side, Harvard."
Posted on 12/25/2023 1:28:02 PM PST by Libloather
The Harvard University board is under pressure to resign over its handling of the anti-Semitism furor.
In the wake of burgeoning calls for Gay to resign, faculty members are now also turning the spotlight on the other 11 members of the Harvard Corporation - the Ivy League's powerful governing body which continues to support her.
One professor has even suggested an overhaul of the governance structure to give lawmakers the opportunity to appoint board members who represent the public interest, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, the former Harvard Medical School dean Jeffrey Flier said he told board members Tracy Palandjian and Paul Finnegan to do more to address the ongoing turmoil surrounding the school.
'You need to be more out front of this,' Flier recalled telling the execs, as he spoke with the New York Times. 'If people are saying the university is making mistakes, they are talking about you!'
'They're under pressure, that's obvious,' Flier added while speaking with the WSJ.
'They are the fiduciary body and no one will deny that Harvard's reputation has taken a very substantial hit in the world… It's on their watch that it's happening.'
Professor Kit Parker said that the school faces a fork in the road and the board members must resign in order for it to choose the right path.
'The big question now is, how arrogant is Harvard?' the professor of bioengineering and applied physics told the WSJ.
'And when I say Harvard, I mean the Harvard Corporation. Do they think this is going to go away?'

“Lawmakers” are among the last to be searching for the truth.
The president of Harvard said some reprehensible things.
The president of Harvard seems to be guilty of plagiarism.
The solution is obvious:
The Board at Harvard should be forced to resign.
Both need to go.
Their attempted whitewash (yeah, I chose that word purposely ;-) failed miserably. Also couldn’t bury objections.
Failed, so now they gotta go.
“appoint board members who represent the public interest”
How about some board members who will stand up for white people?
I am not holding my breath for that one.
That whole mess needs to be cleaned out up there.
Good to see Harvard Board held accountable
How about those 50 FBI agents who all signed off on the form that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian Disinformation? Seems to me that they are either willful incompetent or committed Treason.
Incompetence at their level would be a difficult case to prove; but I am fine with 48 hours of rope and gravity. Treason should have but one punishment. Betraying the trust of the American people, who paid for their training and salaries for years; should make the penalty slow and public
The 700 professors who defended her need to resign as well.
Harvard is good with genocide against the Jews.
They were all kissy-kissy with the Nazis, back when the Nazis were new, and romantic, and dynamic.
Why don’t they just go with it? Embrace the Dark Side?
"Come to the Dark Side, Harvard."
Harvard is the definition of arrogance.
Anything more than that would be too extreme.
“One professor has even suggested an overhaul of the governance structure to give lawmakers the opportunity to appoint board members”
Ah Harvard is a private university, to suggest politicians appoint the board is ridiculous. The simple solution is to just quit donating money to Harvard.
There are plenty of homeless folks in Cambridge.
Turn the university into free housing for them.
Veritas
Harvard needs board members who will stand up for their motto - Veritas.
Not white people or black people.

Harvard board under pressure to resign after standing by embattled president Claudine Gay over disastrous antisemitism testimony
Probably some of these Harvard board members would fit right in with Disney’s board.
I hear the bus revving up
What was within memory an all male university now has a 7 to 5 female majority governing body.
