Yesssssss! Harvard adopts a policy of institutional neutrality, or more specifically, a version of it, that addresses key issues of 'institutional voice' in a very thoughtful manner!!!! A great day for Harvard University and higher education!!

Do You Actually Hate Jews? Cynical Publius’s simple test to check ‘criticism of Israel’ for antisemitism

Dissent in The Crimson Opinion: There is No Palestine Exception

Faculty mis-governance Harvard University. Extremely concerning. Unless the Corporation steps in, this will incentivize even worse trampling on rules required to maintain University values and standards in the future.
