Yeah, but are there any possible candidates who are not bleeding heart liberals?

Likely this leftist loser had to leave so that she would have enough time to feed all of her cats.

I guess she didn't even consider expelling those making threats to Jewish students.

How long before Jewish students are verboten at these "elite" schools? For their own good of course.

I think I see what’s been ailing the Ivies - just about every single one of them has/had a woman president, including MIT!!

More proof that DidntEarnIt(DEI) is a disaster.
