Hamas University Chief Change?

[Merry Christmas!]

For John, BLUF:  I admit I think she should go, but then I also think the faculty needs a lot of pruning also.  And the Administrative Staff  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Rumor on President Gay

I have heard from a source that is reliable but a step or two removed from the situation that the @Harvard Corporation has asked President Gay to resign and she has refused.

Gay has apparently said that if she is fired, she will sue. Gay has retained her own counsel.

I can’t 100% confirm the above is true, but if it is, I am sure the Board is concerned about what may emerge in legal discovery in the event of litigation.

At this point, however, what choice does the Board have?

If the Board makes an inappropriate deal on severance or gives Gay a guaranteed position at Harvard, it will look like a payoff to keep her quiet. I can’t see how she stays at Harvard in any capacity.

President Gay’s performance and her academic record issues provide plenty of cause for termination without compensation.

But at every step so far, the Board has made the wrong call and dug a deeper hole for themselves and Harvard.

As we all know, the best time to start making good decisions is now.

The sooner Gay is gone, the sooner repairing the damage can begin.

this is, apparently, an age thing.  People of my age, and a couple of decades younger, find the pro-Hamas demonstrations at Harvard and other high class Universwities in the Northeast to be disgusting.

And, frankly, I find it ridiculous to clasify all of Europe as one culture and call it Western.  I blame President of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weigarten, and her ilk.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
