- Alumni group appeals to university board after Gay’s testimony
- Rabbi David Wolpe resigned from antisemitism advisory panel
Harvard University’s antisemitism crisis is escalating after thousands of alumni wrote to the institution’s board demanding change, a congressional committee said it would investigate the school and an influential rabbi resigned from an advisory group.
“This week demonstrated that Harvard cares more about avoiding legal risk than it does about student life, the promotion of democratic and pluralistic values, or a commitment to eradicating bigotry from campus,” wrote the Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance in a letter to the Harvard Corp., whose fellows include Penny Pritzker and Ken Chenault.
