New piece with @maxeden99: “Ms. Gay’s institutional rise was marked by a pattern of destroying the careers of genuinely brilliant Black scholars who had the stature to point out her mediocrity…. Play DEI games, win DEI prizes.”

- My new study released today by @Heritage finds that easing access to puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones has actually increased youth suicide rates, contrary to the claims of the Biden admin, advocates, and flawed prior research. 1/
- Last fall I had a piece in @tabletmag on how universities with a critical mass of international students have hosted many more anti-Israel protests than universities where foreign enrollment is more moderate. The article profiled Mahmoud Khalil, who ICE is seeking to deport.🧵1/
- Columbia, Brown, & Penn have settled. Cornell and Harvard are reported to be next. UCLA, Northwestern, George Mason & others may soon follow. Some academics are mystified by why their leaders would settle or attribute it to cowardice. But settling makes sense. Here's why. 🧵1/
- The study that claims black doctors save the lives of black babies must be cursed. It's results have been mis-described. It has failed to be replicated by other researchers. And now a FOIA reveals that the authors hid results that undermined their desired "narrative."🧵1/
- Gay's resignation letter shows no sign of contrition and alleges that she was "subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus." Maybe the lesson is don't plagiarize, destroy the careers of rival black scholars, and tolerate Jew hatred at your university.From President Gay: "Dear Members of the Harvard Community, It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as president. This is not a decision I came to easily. Indeed, it has been difficult beyond words because I have
- Faculty at @UTAustin are threatening: "No classes. No Work. No Assignments." For professors who want to do that, how about they get: "No employment. No Pay. No public funding." These people forget that they have jobs that taxpayers and parents pay for.
- People have accepted without scrutiny @PENamerica's claim that 2,532 books were banned from schools last year, creating alarm about "widespread censorship." We bothered to check those school district libraries & found that the vast majority of these books remain available.🧵1/
- Medicine has a serious antisemitism problem. It especially has a problem among doctors, and a lot of that problem is concentrated among doctors educated overseas. @PeerReReview & I examined the profiles of 702 antisemites identified by @StopAntisemites. Here is what we found 🧵1/
- When Eisenhower sent the Natl Guard into schools to protect civil rights, he's a hero. But when Trump cuts university funding to protect civil rights, he's a dictator. It's bad that Summers and Eisengruber can't be consistent, but worse that they can't stand-up for fellow Jews.I am profoundly saddened and alarmed by @Columbia University and @PaulWeissLLP law firm's capitulation to the increasingly dictatorial Trump administration.
- Replying to @jaypgreene1) They're guilty. The evidence is overwhelming that universities failed to enforce rules to protect Jewish students. The fact that they have been engaging in racial discrimination by granting preferences in admissions and hiring is even more clear. Settling is smart. 2/
- The worst antisemitism in universities can regularly be found among the DEI staff. It is a feature of DEI ideology, not a bug.
- Columbia is holding beneficial research projects hostage, threatening to shutter those labs if Trump cuts $400 mill. Rather than yield to these demands, the Trump admin and large donors should relocate those research labs to other universities without Title VI problems. 🧵1/
- Replying to @jaypgreene3) Settlements help trustees regain control over their universities from groups of radical faculty who have hijacked their institutions for political agendas. Ironically, Trump is helping trustees institute organizational reforms they wanted but were unable to do before. 4/
