It's been 2 weeks since 3 Ivy League presidents testified and answered questions about anti-semitist activities on their respective campuses. Harvard U., Yale U., and M.I.T. have had issues as a result. The furor has not abated, most recently when the Harvard Corporation Board announced that it will retain its sitting president, despite her words in response to questions posed by Congressional representatives.
The former student, Dan Sullivan, is not atypical of a Harvard grad: he's accomplished much since departing the halls of ivy. His resume is replete with significant accomplishment in further education and professional attainment. Additionally, the man has joined and served in the USMC and is now a colonel in the reserves. He has served in Afghanistan. Now he lives in Alaska where he has a family.
His recent column in a national publication(WSJ) states his discomfort with the state of university education at his alma mater. In his considered opinion, the students now enrolled are getting what they have paid for: a classic liberal education that examines all ideas. He claims that these students are being fed a diet of political opinion in line with today's ultra liberal bias found in the Ivy League. His thoughts are not alone as other alumni have voiced similar sentiments about their alma maters. Bill Ackman for one.
When will the cause calm down? Will the US have to wait for the end of Israeli IDF attacks on HAMAS rat holes? Probably. The students will have to endure more opprobrium through the time frame and the winter months. Good luck.
