Making the rounds of Harvard graduates is an email from an alumnus of Harvard (the oldest college in America) asking pertinent and penetrating questions, some of which are below. It may be that the email was sent only to Harvard graduates; it deserves much wider circulation. Seven of the questions are below.
- Why do you insist on paying Claudine Gay, an actual serial plagiarist who was forced to resign, a salary of $900,000 a year?
- Why should Claudine Gay, of all people, be teaching a class on leadership, using Harvard as a case study?
- What specific merits and talents does Chairwoman Penny Pritzker bring to the table? What is the specific justification for keeping her?
- For what specific reason is the university refusing to comply with federal law by not sharing the criminal history of its foreign students with DHS?
- Does it bother you that 97 percent of the faculty identify with one particular political ideology? If yes, what are two specific actions you’re willing to take to rectify the problem?
- What specifically have you done to ensure that the few conservative students left on campus aren’t self-censoring their work and opinions?
- Does it bother you that multiple faculty members, such as Professor James Hankins, admitted they or their colleagues were told that white men, in the post-George Floyd backlash, would no longer be hired if there was a (less-qualified) black or gay applicant?
Here’s another issue: Harvard has just released the names of the candidates for the Harvard Alumni Association and for the Board of Overseers. (They are the people who run the college.) We are told how well these candidates did in college and what they are doing now. But we have no indication of what they think about politics (or anything else, for that matter). It is possible, of course, that they have no politics.
