While praising the free exchange of dissenting opinions, alumni and faculty allege failure to enforce existing codes of conduct has made universities a hostile environment for Jews
The Times of Israel, Cathryn J. Prince, January 5, 2024
Harvard Business School alum Clarence Schwab is done with the double standards.
As treasurer of the newly established Harvard Jewish Alumni Association (HJAA), Schwab said he’s tired of Harvard University’s failure to root out antisemitism and enforce its existing codes of conduct. He’s also fed up with the way much of the administration has dismissed the poisonous atmosphere pervading the Cambridge campus ever since the October 7 massacre in Israel, which saw 1,200 people brutally murdered by Hamas-led terrorists and 240 more abducted to the Gaza Strip.
“The school would not, and should not, tolerate menacing conduct aimed at Blacks or Latinos or the LGBTQ community. We want one standard applied equally to all,” said Schwab, the founder and managing partner of Kronor Capital.
Schwab hopes that whoever steps in to replace outgoing president Claudine Gay — who resigned Tuesday just months into her tenure amid accusations of plagiarism and criticism over her response to campus antisemitism — feels the same.
