    Once again the New York Times butchers their coverage. Of course people in the administration are going to lie and say that it was mistakenly sent, which is why you can’t quote them anonymously without pointing out that fact, if you want to have any integrity.

    And as the university said, it was a signed letter. Don’t sign the letter if you’re not going to send it, right? Everybody knows that. If it’s a draft, that should be visible in the title. Everyone knows that, right? We learned these things in junior high school.

    Holy fuck “viewpoint diversity” reads like the most dystopian thing I’ve ever seen. Basically boils down to ‘you must also teach right wing beliefs even when they are near unanimously rejected by the scientific community’. If im reading that right it would mean they’d essentially have to have flat earth classes in the geography department alongside all the regular classes, and give them equal resources. Plus who knows what other bullshit. How do you draw a line when you’re mandating thar schools teach fiction based on what your followers believe?

      Wow, you really can’t make this up. Two paragraphs about how they need to foster “viewpoint diversity”, whatever that means, and they need to keep hiring faculty and admitting students until they have it, followed by a paragraph saying “no diversity in skin color is allowed”.

      Like, are they are saying a physics department needs to have equal number of physicists and fucking dumbasses, but God forbid the department keep track of numbers to make sure they’re not systematically ignoring black applicants.

    “It was malpractice on the side of Harvard’s lawyers not to pick up the phone and call the members of the antisemitism task force who they had been talking to for weeks,” said May Mailman, the White House senior policy strategist. “Instead, Harvard went on a victimhood campaign.”

    “Malpractice”? “Victimhood campaign”? Go fuck yourself, May.

      Yeah, “victimhood campaign” is probably the most blatant example of projection I’ve seen from them in a while, and that’s really saying something for this group of fuckfaces

    “Whoops! We fucked up.” “Sir, tell them we made a mistake!” said a sycophant with tears streaming down his face.
