As an alumnus, I say that Harvard MUST get rid of its new president, Claudine Gay!! They must also dissociate itself from the “leadership” of Penny Pritzker!

This is about a lot more than just Israel!

I propose that we do to Hamas supporting college students EXACTLY what Hamas does to Jews. Period. Let’s see how the little illiterate turds like it...before they assume room temp.

Defund the universities.

Severely curtail exchange student programs of students from Arab Muslim countries as well as China.

Or eliminate these programs altogether.

estimates suggest they might lose up to half a billion dollars just from those who have spoken out in the past week.

It'll take a while. Harvard's current endowment is over $53 billion. While I wouldn't discourage philanthropists from attempting to use the power of the purse here (having taken all three of the universities in my will, out), that becomes more difficult when ideologues have stolen the entire purse for themselves, and consider their institutions ground gained in a decades-long military campaign often dubbed the Long March Through The Institutions. That gain isn't to be reasoned away, it was gained by force, patience, connivance, and misdirection, and is likely only to be surrendered the same way. What passed in the 70's, for example, as an antiwar bias turned out to be prowar against existing society; what passed as anti-authoritarian turns out to be militantly pro-authoritarian in favor of the new orthodoxy. The masks have come off because they hold the ground.

Every revolution requires student passion, and the less critical those students are, the better for the revolutionaries. What passes as educational turns out to be anti-educational, the most visible signs being the outrageous cheapening of academic credentials, especially in the liberal arts, and the relentless attempts to degrade the STEM curricula as well. The donors supporting much of this haven't been private at all, they've been the public taxpayers even in nominally private institutions, and believe me, none of the recipients of this largesse has the slightest inclination either to acknowledge this or to inquire as to the intentions of the frequently critical involuntary sources whom they consider their inferiors.

What is the purpose of a “university education” if not to provide society with a more civilized person who better understands the world around them and acts in an ethical and civil manner?

A university education use to mean something, especially if it was from a college of arts and sciences. However, when degrees began to digress to the woke fad of the year, like certain minority studies, gender based studies, etc. The concept of a university educated person began to loose its historic meaning.

I can understand why college loans to support such educations are not worth the money any longer.

“Instead of waiting for universities to change, we should consider developing more Jewish alternatives to higher education that will be open to Jews and non-Jews alike and attract the best minds worldwide(....) “


This is a much more sensible option than mourning the decline and decay of the Ivy League.

The elite universities are gatekeepers for entry into America’s elite institutions.

When this Regime collapses, those institutions will as well, and the graduates who filled those institutions will also be out.
