Harvard Faces Criticism for Appointing Wife of NY Times Columnist to Board of Overseers Committee
“It is one of its two governing boards and is said to play a key role in the governance of the university.”
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof is the writer who is pushing the completely insane idea that Israel has trained dogs to rape people.

Harvard appointment of Nicholas Kristof’s wife to key role draws criticism from students, alumni
Harvard is facing criticism after naming Sheryl WuDunn, the wife of embattled New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, as vice chair of the Board of Overseers’ executive committee.
The Board of Overseers is made up of Harvard alumni who “bring to bear their best judgment and deep commitment to Harvard’s overarching academic mission and long-term institutional interests,” according to the university. It is one of its two governing boards and is said to play a key role in the governance of the university.
WuDunn’s appointment was announced alongside the election of Judge Raymond Lohier as board president. Both were praised by Harvard University President Alan Garber as “distinguished alumni whose devotion to the University shines through their service.”
“They share a deep commitment to the well-being of our students, as well as a keen interest in strengthening our visitation process,” Garber told The Harvard Gazette.
“At a moment when higher education faces extraordinary challenges and scrutiny, I believe the role of the Overseers in helping safeguard the University’s academic excellence, integrity, and long-term mission has never been more important,” WuDunn told The Harvard Gazette.
Kristof found himself at the center of controversy after the publication of his column on May 11, which contained several claims of alleged abuse by Israeli guards against Palestinian detainees. The piece included claims that Israel trained dogs to rape humans. The piece drew significant backlash and even threats of a lawsuit from the Israeli government.
While WuDunn has not publicly been identified as playing a role in the controversial column, she did repost a New York Times statement defending her husband’s work as a “deeply reported piece of opinion journalism.” The statement also said that details in the piece were “extensively fact-checked.”

Harvard is obligated to assert its Jew hatred at least once a week. Nothing to see here.
Well, she has a ten-year record in much the same position at Cornell, so let’s hear about it.
Harvard they’ve never found an antisemetic shill they didn’t love. Why don’t they just rename the school the University of Qatar and have it done with?
Maybe rename it Banu Qurayza University? In 627 AD Muhammad exterminated all Jewish males who’d reached puberty, turned the females into sex slaves, and turned the boys into slaves or slave soldiers.
ISIS only did what Muhammad did before them.
shes another grifting apologist for the lefts agenda based on her theory that everyone must start out equally ..makes no sense but they lap it up as if she were michelle obams>>oprah
