[NY Post] "We lost our ass for virtue signaling" Harvard University announced Tuesday that it will stay silent on public matters that do not directly concern its "core function" — months after the Ivy League school’s statements on the Israel-Hamas war caused a firestorm of controversy.
Leaders at the prestigious school who recommended the new policy said that Harvard "runs the risk of appearing to care more about some places and events than others" by issuing public statements on sweeping issues and global politics.
"And because few, if any, world events can be entirely isolated from conflicting viewpoints, issuing official empathy statements runs the risk of alienating some members of the community by expressing implicit solidarity with others," Harvard’s Institutional Voice Working Group recommended in a report.

It appears that even this worm can learn to shy away from pain.

^But it still remains the same pile of bird poop due to affirmative action faculty.

Any School or College Facility should have 1 mission.... TEACH.
There is no going back. The Student Body's ANTI-JEWISH, genocidal statements and protests have been made, and recorded for history.
Plus, going forward. Likely, many employer's HR departments will be on the lookout to avoid certain Ivy League grads for certain years, and the corresponding years of college faculty also.
Because why would any employer want to risk being known to have hired a Racist, genocidal supporting person to work for them?
In short, those arrested and those that ran to the Media for their 15 mins of fame and attentions, have screwed-up the pooch and their careers.
Either way, I see it taking a couple of years before big corporate donors will consider it safe to associate and donate, with any College that openly supported the Genocidal HAMAS.

Moral equivalence decays into inaction because controversy endangers salaries.

Relating to comment #2: "EVEN A FLATWORM IS SMART ENOUGH TO TURN AWAY FROM PAIN: Harvard won’t take official stance on controversial issues under new policy: No more ‘official statements about public matters that do not directly affect the university,’ president says." Quoted from an Instapundit post this day 29 May 2024. Maybe the professor reads Rantburg.

Controversial = the progressive take on anything, which any normal person will naturally be offended by.

Eye wash. Will most likely be business as usual though with regards to how they operate. No changes to how administration, staff or professors view or implement policies/procedures.
"We, the University, will just keep quiet about it 'officially' and let the students do the screeching with our help and direction."

[GEO.TV] British Foreign Minister David Cameron ...Empty suit Brit pol, former PM, has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel...> has said that an investigation by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) into the Rafah air strikes must be "swift, comprehensive and transparent", again calling for a pause in fighting.
"Deeply distressing scenes following the air strikes in Rafah this weekend. The IDF's investigation must be swift, comprehensive and transparent," Cameron said on X formerly known as Twitter.
"We urgently need a deal to get hostages out and aid in, with a pause in fighting to allow work towards a long-term sustainable ceasefire."
[GEO.TV] Denmark's parliament on Tuesday voted down a bill to recognise a Paleostinian state, after the Danish foreign minister previously said the necessary preconditions for an independent country were lacking.
The Danish bill was first proposed in late February by four left-wing parties.
"We cannot recognise an independent Paleostinian state, for the sole reason that the preconditions are not really there," Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said when the bill was first debated in parliament in April.
"We cannot support this resolution, but we wish that there will come a day where we can," Rasmussen, who was not present at the vote on Tuesday, added.
[Daily Mail, where Amreica gets it news] There are renewed fears of terrorist attacks at this year's T20 World Cup after a chilling poster was released hinting at bloodshed in New York.
A pro-ISIS outlet released a graphic which showed a hooded man with a rifle over his shoulder. It read 'You wait for the matches...' and then - written in dripping blood-red - 'And we wait for you...'
The poster makes reference to June 9 at 'Nassau Stadium', which is when - and where - bitter rivals India and Pakistain will meet in a group game.
It also includes images of drones flying over the stadium and stick of dynamite with a ticking clock. DailyMail.com understands, however, that the poster has not prompted US authorities to raise the threat level of an attack.
A spokesperson for the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement: 'The safety and security of everyone at the event is our No 1 priority and we have a comprehensive and robust security plan in place.
The T20 tournament is being held in the United States and the Caribbean between June 1 and June 29.
There will be eight matches held at a newly-erected temporary stadium in Eisenhower Park - 30 miles east of Manhattan.
They include the standout game of the group stages, when India and Pakistan collide in a sold-out clash at the 34,000 Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
The ICC and Cricket West Indies would not confirm that the threat had emanated from Islamic State, whose propaganda channel, Nashir-e Pakistan, are said to have encouraged attacks on sporting events.

[GatewayPundit] Islamic Leader Declares Muslim Domination of U.S. Politics Imminent — Vows to ‘Rule’ America from Congress to White House
Osama Siblani, a prominent Arab-American community leader and publisher, announced that Muslims are poised to take control of key political positions across the United States, including the Congress and the White House. from the river to the sea
During his speech earlier this month at a dinner honoring former Lebanese security chief Abbas Ibrahim, who has known for ties with Hezbollah, Siblani said, “We have the best we can offer to the United States of America – not only in Michigan but across the country – and we [have] offered our best… The best is yet to come. I can be very confident to tell you that we are on the road to the White House, to Congress, to decision-making everywhere in the United States,” he said.
According to Memri TV, Siblani’s remarks referenced a historical grievance dating back 40 years when a local mayor allegedly spoke of an “Arab problem” in Dearborn. He contrasted that with today’s reality where, according to him, “The Arabs are ruling Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and Hamtramck.”
“So, brothers and sisters, we are on the road. I am saying this because yesterday when we welcomed our brother and leader, [fmr. Lebanese security chief] Abbas Ibrahim, at the airport, he has seen and witnessed the kind of power and connections that we have,” Siblani said.

The enemy is within. Last month on Al-Quds Day, the last day of Ramadan, Muslim protesters chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” in Dearborn, Michigan.
Radical Muslim activist Tarek Bazzi spoke to Muslims in Dearborn.
Tarek Bazzi: We’ve been asked in the past, why are our protests on the international Day of Quds, why are they so anti-American? Why don’t we just focus more on Israel and not talk so much about America?
Gaza has shown the entire world why these protests are so anti-American. Because it’s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.
This is why Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Day of Quds, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America!
Dearborn Muslims: “Death to America! Death to America! Death to America!”
Tarek Bazzi: “Malcolm X said, and I quote, We live in one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth! It’s not Genocide Joe that has to go. It’s the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it, such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s earth. And so when these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist, the chant, “Death to Israel!” is the most logical chant that is shouted across the world today.

I am very glad he admitted it, makes it easier to convince the morons. Oct 7th and the Israeli reaction just revealed how deeply penetrated the demokrat party and the educational institutions have become. The amazing part is how the gay/LGBTQ power center within the same party cannot see how insane their alliance actually is as Islam takes hold.

"We have the best we can offer to the United States of America"
Empirical observation teaches us that Islam has a devastating impact on the cultural, political and economical development of the countries it subjugates.
"I can be very confident to tell you that we are on the road to the White House, to Congress, to decision-making everywhere in the United States,”
Filty sneak attacks by genocidal totalitarian theocrats apparently do pay off in the 21th century.
