On Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Wall Street Week,” Larry Summers, professor and emeritus of Harvard University and former president of Harvard University, declared: “Double standards exist throughout the Ivy League and elite higher education when it comes to anti-Semitism and other forms of bias. That suggestion in the lawsuit is about right.”
Professor Summers said, “There is nothing more appalling about Harvard than the fact that a keffiyeh was placed on top of the statue of John Harvard, a symbolic statute on Harvard’s campus, and a Palestinian flag was placed in the hand of John Harvard.” “I have never done so,” he said. . You can debate whether administrators should send in the police, and I think that should always be a last resort, but leaving John Harvard University undecorated with pro-Hamas symbols is The fact that I can’t do it is just shocking to me. I think there is no question that there is a double standard when it comes to anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry throughout the Ivy League and elite higher education. That suggestion in the lawsuit is about right. ”
