A Shame

 The MIT News is a daily web site presenting what its writers feel is important items about MIT. After testifying yesterday about the antisemitism prevalent on the MIT campus, the current President's remarks and answers are uncovered. Compare this to the Harvard Crimson, which opined openly on her performance. 

Having been on campus as student and faculty during the Vietnam War period, I saw and experienced the difficulties then. However the Administration was protective of is students, faculty and staff, as compared to the current outsider President. Regrettably in my opinion MIT and its leaders have grossly failed in their duty as leaders.

As an update the MIT News finally presented the MIT President's words. Perhaps they read my posting or perhaps they were just posting more "woke" pieces to flatter their progress to destroy the institution. One need merely to read the question posed and the grossly incompetent answer by the Presidents of the institutions. One suspects that fund raising will shatter. The NY Times has a piece that reinforces some of these issues. Even the NY Post provided a readable summmary of this mess. The Stefanik question was spot on and one that any individual preparing for say a deposition would have a clear answer.
