Attempting damage control

She has some nerve blaming everyone else for “confusing” her very words.
This from the same place that punishes for micro-aggressions & wrong pronouns.
The comments are rightfully roasting her. There is no way she should be allowed to stay at the helm of Harvard. But that should only be the beginning of the reform that is needed there.

The only one confused is her and the institution she represents.

She’s not confused. This is their policy going back a century.

”If the speech becomes conduct (רח״ל) it can be harassment.”

They’ll need to look into it & maybe have the students vote on it to determine if it will be considered harassment.
Unreal!!
Thank goodness nobody is being misgendered.

“Absolutely mind-blowing video. The presidents of Harvard and Penn smirk during testimony and say that calls for genocide against Jews is not actually against campus policy.

Now, before we applaud their steadfast devotion to the first amendment, let’s remember that these people happily censor students and faculty on a daily basis on everything from vaccines to gender ideology. They are behind efforts to curtail speech in every aspect of American life, and are among the most censorious human beings this nation has ever produced.

But they’re VERY careful about not limiting the right of antisemitic radicals to call for Jewish genocide on campus. On this one issue they’re card-carrying Randian libertarians. No you still can’t openly debate whether men can become women, but they’ll fight to the bitter end to ensure brain-dead sociology majors can scream genocidal threats into a megaphone outside a Jewish fraternity house.

What an absolute disgrace.“

Part of this is silly. The "conduct" referred to is not genocide, but any relevant personal interaction.

Columbia released a statement that this event wasn’t actually a CSSW event and it wouldn’t take place, and yet it did:

Ironically you can hear the speaker invoke Mao, who caused the deaths of many millions of his own people. How appropriate.
