An Open Letter to the Harvard Corporation
We are all members of the Harvard community, and each of us values our affiliation. It has been said that "places, like people, only prosper if they are loved," and know all of us love Harvard. We sign this pledge—committing to donate one dollar, and no more, to the University for the foreseeable future —not in anger, but in sadness and in hope.
Harvard has changed in ways that have made it unrecognizable to us. When living up to its ideals, Harvard fosters healthy disagreement but demands decency. It’s a place deeply imbued with a sense of moral purpose.
But Harvard's response to the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7th revealed that the University has lost its way.
Many questions of right and wrong are hard. But some are easy. Raping women is evil. Torturing and murdering children is evil. Filming those heinous acts to glorify the perpetrators, humiliate the victims, and bring further pain to the families of those harmed is evil.
It should not require three statements (the latter two following a faculty protest) for this University and its leadership to condemn these evils. Still more, University leaders, while giving proper due to the demands of free speech and robust debate, should have the moral courage to tell their students who support evil that those students are wrong.
Harvard's initial silence and its ongoing failure to condemn the abhorrent statement endorsed by 30 of its student groups is part of a larger problem. A campus culture has developed in which Jews feel unsafe, and there have been several instances of intimidation and even violence leveled at Jewish students. And those who do not adhere to an increasingly militant ideological line are unwelcome. The time has come for meaningful remediation, such as that advocated by the new Harvard College Jewish Alumni Association.
We want to support Harvard to further its mission of seeking truth, advancing new ideas, and promoting enduring knowledge—but we cannot do so until Harvard rediscovers its historic values and takes concrete steps to address the growing problem of antisemitism and intolerance that has taken hold within its gates.
