Griffin made these remarks at a conference in Miami, where he reiterated that he is never going to hire the students who had put their signatures on the controversial letter that supported the actions of Hamas against Israeli civilians on October 7.
US universities have such a long and fantastic track record and so much money in their kitty to rebuild, they can afford a few Claudine Gays. India and Indians cannot.
Claudine Gay said that she finds it distressing that people are doubting her 'commitment' to confront hate even though she blatantly refused to condemn calls for violence against Jews in the varsity.
Earlier, Blavatnik had donated around $270 million to the University, including a $200 million gift to Harvard Medical School in 2018 – the largest single gift in the history of the institution.
Demands are Gay's resignation are being made over her attempt to contextualise the calls for genocide of Jews on campuses at a Congressional hearing on 5th December.
The political invasion of campuses in America which is being exposed with hatred for Jews and Israel has only compounded their already declining credibility.
Interestingly, the Harvard president's statement posted on varsity's X profile on December 6 got community-checked with a note reading, "While under oath before Congress, the President of Harvard stated that condemning antisemitism and calls for genocide of Jews “depends on the context” as opposed to being simply wrong."
