In another blow to Israeli shares, the Harvard Management Company notified the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday that it had sold all its holdings in Israeli companies during the second quarter of 2010. No reason for the sale was mentioned. The Harvard Management Company manages Harvard University's endowment. (Snip)Harvard Management Company's 13-F Form shows some interesting investments. Its two largest holdings, each worth $295 million, are in iShares ETFs, one on Chinese equities, and the other on emerging markets.

How long before the #$%&@ Saudis put a big mosque on campus?
Well it must be you-know-who’s fault that Haaaaaaaaaarvaaaaaaaaaaard funds took a dump downwards!
According to Genesis 12:3b more dumpings to come!
Must have gotten a hot stock to sell tip from insider financial expert Mahmoud Ahmedinejad! Buy Iranian plutonium precious metal shares instead.
Yes, all the Ivies are hard up. They find Saudi money irresistible (not that they were necessarily going to resist in the first place!).

Of course someone will come along with a list of names to prove that the Jews do run Harvard; it's just that they're now out to get Israel.
The Ivy League used to rule college football (believe it or not). Of course, that was back in the days of raccoon coats and swallowing goldfish.
Then in the New Deal the Old East Coast Establishment decided leftism made a better ideological justification for Hamiltonian Federalism than conservatism did and the IL teams tanked.
I mean, what kind of kid plays football in the Ivy League today? Thurston Howell Guevara III?
top-notch in name only it’s been a hotbed of liberals,progressives,& all the other junk in the universe that’s been floating around for the past 40-50 yrs

Bet they'd scream bloody murder if Manhattan were in compliance with Halakhah. That'd be a violation of separation of church and state, you know.
Say what you will about Larry Summers, but during his tenure he would not bow to pressure to divest Israel.
Yes, I knew that, at least to an extent. That was in the late 1800s and very early 1900s. Even until about 1950, the "Ivy League" teams competed at what would be called the "major college" level. Harvard and Columbia played in Rose Bowls, when the Rose Bowl was only bowl game in existence. Columbia won, don't know about Harvard offhand.
Then, about 1950, they kind of decided that they weren't going to spend all that much money to compete in a game that, in many intellectuals' minds, glorified brutality over sensibility, so they decided to "deemphasize" football and sports in general.
Believe it or not, there was no formal Ivy League in an athletic sense until the 1050s, although the schools that eventually formed it had played against one another as independents for many years before that, and Harvard vs. Yale was the biggest rivalry. They organized the formal Ivy league collectively so that they could play more against each other and wouldn't get beaten up as much by stronger teams.
To claim that the New Deal and leftism precipitated the decline in Ivy League sports is a bit of a stretch, because the timing doesn't exactly fit that theory.
I think you missed my point. I was taking a swipe at the paradoxical radicalism of the Old Eastern Seaboard Establishment and at the hinterlanders who see it as "the real power behind Communism."
