    Two hours ago, I resigned from the @HarvardAlumni Association Board of Directors. I found @Harvard President Claudine Gay's testimony abhorrent and I reject the statement issued earlier today by the Executive Committee of the @HarvardAlumni Association's Board of Directors.

    The Executive Committee of Harvard University's Alumni Association on Monday gave its support for Harvard President Claudine Gay's leadership amid backlash to her congressional testimony on antisemitism. trib.al/WpyuIo6

    Replying to @DWeisburd @HarvardAlumni and @Harvard
    This wasn't the 1st time in my 3.5 year tenure serving on the HAA board that I observed gross oversteps from members of the HAA executive committee. The HAA is controlled by a select few that use the position to push personal agendas. This statement was the last straw for me. ✌️

    100 percent agree. I resigned my @harvardalumni board position last night after reading a misleading CNN headline about unanimous and unequivocal support from the Harvard alumni associations Board of directors, which until I read that article, I was a member of.

    They didn't. This is exactly why I resigned last night as a member of the @harvardalumni association's BOD. I learned of their actions via a misleading CNN headline. This isn't the only example of the HAA executive committee unduly politicizing the HAA.

    "Professors should not be carrying their ideologies into the classroom. Our job as teachers of β€œcitizens and citizen-leaders” is not to indoctrinate students, but to prepare them to grapple with all of the ideas they will encounter in the societies they will serve."

    I am surprised that the Dean of @hgse's October 8th letter to all students, drawing equivalency between Hamas and the Israeli government, was not captured in the 77 pages.. the *DEAN* of the *EDUCATION* school. This is a problem. cc: @CombatASemitism
