As we and many others have pointed out, getting rid of Claudine Gay does not solve the bigger problems at Harvard.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Harvard Anti-Semitism Task Force Member Called Israel a ‘Regime of Apartheid’Harvard University’s newest appointee to its anti-Semitism task force has called Israel an “apartheid regime” and defended disgraced former Harvard president Claudine Gay amid calls that she be fired for her failure to condemn anti-Semitic protesters at the school.Interim Harvard president Alan Garber tapped Derek Penslar, a professor of Jewish history, to serve on the Presidential Task Force on Combating Anti-Semitism, created to identify “the root causes” of anti-Semitism at the Ivy League school.Garber also announced a task force to address Islamophobia, though there appear to be far fewer cases of anti-Muslim bias at the university. In one case, the wife of a Harvard professor referred to a keffiyeh—a black-and-white checkered scarf embraced by pro-Palestinian protesters—as a “terrorist scarf.”The Department of Education in November opened a civil rights probe into anti-Semitic incidents at the school, which included students calling for genocide against Jews. A day after Hamas’s terrorist attack, dozens of anti-Israel campus groups accused the Jewish state of provoking the violence. A group of Jewish students sued Harvard this month, claiming the school enables “Jew-bashing.” Two students said the school has allowed protesters chanting “glory to the martyrs” to protest inside the law school student lounge.The task force is launching amid criticism of Gay for her refusal at a congressional hearing in November to condemn protesters who called for a Holocaust against Jews. Gay resigned this month following Washington Free Beacon reports that she plagiarized much of her academic research.
