What's the Opposite of Diversity? University

The College Fix brings us a story from the Ivy League. Harvard course on black women in politics omits prominent conservatives

Conservatives are nowhere to be seen in a Harvard University course focused on black women in politics, according to a copy of the syllabus obtained by The College Fix.

Left off of the syllabus are Zora Neale Hurston, Roberta Church, and Dr. Mildred Jefferson. Hurston is an accomplished writer and Republican, while Church served in both the Eisenhower and Nixon presidential administrations. Dr. Jefferson (pictured) was the first black woman to graduate from Harvard’s Medical School and advocated against abortion.

Well how could a Harvard Professor teach about a black woman opposed to abortion?

Free Speech Is Dead at Harvard

What's the opposite of Diversity? University. Harvard is named worst school for free speech — scoring zero out of possible 100

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released its annual college free speech rankings on Wednesday, which dubbed the state of free speech at the Ivy League school “abysmal.”

“I’m not totally surprised,” Sean Stevens, director of polling and analytics at FIRE, told The Post. “We’ve done these rankings for years now, and Harvard is consistently near the bottom.”

Fire was generous with the zero rating because Harvard's actual score on there survey was -10.69.

The score is calculated based on factors including how strong the school’s policies in favor of free speech are and how many professors, students and campus speakers have been targeted by authorities for their speech.

It was made worse by the number of professors that Harvard sanctioned over issues of free speech.

You are not allowed to say things that are not approved. You are not allowed to think thoughts that are not approved.

This is pretty much the opposite of what colleges were about back in the Dark Ages, when I went to college.

The number one school for free speech was Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan. The school earned 78.01 out of 100 possible points.

“I’m not necessarily surprised that a technological school has a better speech climate, primarily for the reason that they don’t really talk as much about controversial topics,” Stevens said. “They’re there to make things work as engineers.”

More Plagiarism at Harvard

Are we shocked? From the NY Post - Harvard’s diversity chief hit with 40 plagiarism accusations in wake of Claudine Gay scandal: report.

Harvard University’s chief diversity and inclusion officer has been hit with dozens of plagiarism allegations tied to her academic work — including one claim she failed to properly cite her own husband’s study.

The Ivy League school was handed an anonymous complaint on Monday listing at least 40 examples of alleged plagiarism by Sherri Ann Charleston dating back to 2009 — a decade before she joined Harvard, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

This is probably not the end. Aside for Claudine Gay and plagiarism, there was also scientific fraud. I doubt this is the end.

The hat tip goes to Michael Knowles and his video Things Are STILL Getting Worse for Harvard.
