As usual, Chris uses facts to make his case rather than simple opinions. I want elaborate on, and place some emphasis on, Ms. Gay's academic "accomplishments." They are so slim as to not merit tenure at any even mildly decent research university, much less Harvard. You don't have to simply believe me (or Chris), look for yourself on Google Scholar. Of course, university presidents need not be great academics but she has no compensating business or government experience. So what happens when, seemingly, the only criterion to lead a university is "identity". Well, issues like hard work, merit and classical liberal values are meaningless. It chills and kills incentives for truth seeking - the purpose of the university in the first place!

Harvard, along with many other “universities” chose this path out of their own free will. They were given a choice at a critical moment in time to use judiciousness and ethics to determine the just path forward, and they failed.

They chose the anti-intellectual, anti-truth, anti-ethical path because it was the most convenient. Nothing more needs to be said, they are frauds and charlatans, and atop this illiberal, racist Panderverse sits Mean girl, but who else better to divide and conquer, it’s her special talent to make everything in life bow to her will. She’s been taught that that is her role from the moment she was born, so to anyone with eyes wide open, this is no surprise, but the natural consequence of what Society has created?! A lot of things need to be called into question, whether they will or not is anyone’s guess, kudos to Rufo again for showing us what leadership should be!
