When I said "nothing like this has happened to them before," I was referring to the instantaneous, bi-partisan, and massive condemnation they received from highly educated and non-highly educated people alike, after uttering their wrong-headed remarks.
Agreed; but my reference was to the situation Gay had previously been involved with, not the response - which I'm sure is a first for her and the other academic prima donnas. That said, it's highly unlikely that Harvard is going to fire their black, female president unless some mega-donors start pulling $100 Million endowments as was the case with UPenn. Nothing gets the attention of these large, elite universities like the almighty dollar.
Stefanik is continuing the pressure and bringing the demanded resignations into focus. The other two may yet resign. MIT recently affirmed their president, but if pressure mounts ...

Taking out Magill and Gay would be a start in the right direction, but this letter of support signed by 511 Harvard faculty members is a good indicator of the deeper problem that exists within campuses all over the country. The core problem is the woke, elitist professors that promote false notions and unrealistic ideas to young minds that are vulnerable to vile antisemitic propaganda, and especially the more recent D.E.I. programming.Petitions and Letters for and Against the University Presidents
The question of the resignation of the two university presidents who have not resigned is not going away. This question has legs.

Now would be a good time for Congress to introduce a bipartisan bill to withhold federal funds from colleges that tolerate or support students, faculty and organizations that demonstrate threatening antisemitic behavior. The administration and faculty have the attitude that the unwashed masses have no say in how they operate, so they should be able to do without taxpayers' dollars.
That may solve one problem but create others. Some of the federal funding that goes to these universities funds research that has important national defense implications, supports businesses, supports desirable medical and scientific breakthroughs, etc. It's easy to propose funding cuts as a solution to one problem when you ignore the consequences of those cuts in other domains.
Federal funding cuts can be targeted; here's a good place to start.
Just to expand on this, here's some more evidence of plagiarism and violations of Harvard academic integrity policies by Harvard president Gay. She's got a long history of doing this, so one would think somebody should have noticed - but apparently she's special, or maybe they all do it and just look the other way. This sounds eerily similar to Washington politicians.Is she even qualified to be president of Harvard?
