The Sickness of Our Universities—and the Cure

 

The sheer madness that has gripped many elite universities since October 7 and the butchery, rape, torture, and mutilation of some 1,000 Israeli civilians by Hamas murderers have shocked the public at large.

The disgraceful, ducking, diving, dodging college presidents

 

It was a clarifying moment, wasn't it?  The presidents of MIT, Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania testifying for the House Education Committee about the wave of rabid antisemitism on their campuses.  Representative Elise Stefanik of New York asked the same question of UPenn's Liz Magill, MIT's Sally Kornbluth and Harvard's Claudine Gay.  Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your campus's rule of conduct, yes or no?  That was the question.  [...]
