Harvard is a Poisoned Campus -Now Mired in Anti-Semitism & Racism
 
How Harvard Became a Poisoned Campus

Once a Centre of Excellence, The Prestigious University is Now Mired in Allegations of Anti-Semitism and Racism

I grew up in the Boston area, and Harvard was always a source of ambivalence: on one hand, a powerhouse par excellence to which anyone would be eternally thrilled to send their child, and on the other, an institution of profound arrogance and self-regard.


Awash with billions from a vast endowment and donations, and from a different universe to European or British universities, its professoriate seemed immensely posh, living in huge houses in Central and Harvard Square, hosting lavish dinner parties and holidaying in the Swiss Alps and Tuscany.

But, despite standard Ivy League cronyism and nepotism, snootiness and noisy virtue-signalling, the overall sense of the institution was one of true excellence. Professors like legal scholar Alan Dershowitz, who wrote the definitive The Case for Israel, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Roy Glauber, and dozens more of their ilk were just part of the local landscape.
It’s true that too many undergraduates were there because of family legacy, sporting prowess or donations from a relative. And some ethnic minority students had gained admission helped by affirmative action policies. But most students were at Harvard because they were just absolutely excellent: incredibly smart, talented polymaths who really were the best, whatever school they’d come from.

Since then, Harvard has become a very different place. What used to be mere undercurrents – cronyism and arrogance, and the pursuit of social justice through double standards – have become dominant, ideological and defining.
