This is a moment of intense pain and grief for a great many people in our community and around the world. I feel that pain and grief myself.
As members of a university community, we have a choice.
We can fan the flames of division and hatred that are roiling the world.
Or we can try to be a force for something different and better.
People have asked me where we stand. So, let me be clear.
Our University rejects terrorism – that includes the barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.
Our University rejects hate—hate of Jews, hate of Muslims, hate of any group of people based on their faith, their national origin, or any aspect of their identity.
Our University rejects the harassment or intimidation of individuals based on their beliefs.
And our University embraces a commitment to free expression.
That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous. We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views. But that is a far cry from endorsing them.
It’s in the exercise of our freedom to speak that we reveal our characters.
And we reveal the character of our institution.
We can issue public pronouncements declaring the rightness of our own points of view and vilify those who disagree.
Or we can choose to talk and to listen with care and humility, to seek deeper understanding, and to meet one another with compassion.
We can inflame an already volatile situation on our campus.
Or we can focus our attention where it belongs on the unfolding tragedy thousands of miles away. We can ask ourselves how, as human beings, we can be helpful to people who are desperately trying to protect themselves and their families, people who are fighting to survive.
How we go forward as a community is up to each of us.
I have spent most of my career at this institution. I have seen the people of Harvard come together despite their differences.
I know that we are capable of meeting this moment—and meeting one another—with grace.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Harvard has been a joke for 40 years (at least).
The people I meet with Harvard papers are openly mocked.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Rather lukewarm to say the least. Basically said nothing

Harvard has been full of radical communists and racists practically advocating white genocide for a couple of decades. But step over the line in criticizing the Jews? Well, that schit has got to stop right now.

"Our University rejects hate" Yet, they gave a free ride scholarship to a dude who hates people who own guns.

Mr. President,
I remind you that actions speak ever much louder than words. Actually, it's Ms. President. This is what you get when you select a president based on affirmative action and DEI and whose last name is "Gay."
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Maybe that stupid POS should go & live next door with the Muslims & try to get along with a culture that wants to remove from the face of the earth, all non-Muslim cultures.
Meaning his life would be in danger every minute of every day.

As individuals the most effective way to shut up liberal horses asses is to quit giving the turds money and any other financial support for higher education that turns way to many into idiots. Too many young are sent to college today for career paths instead of trades. When you work for what you want in a career you learn the value of it. Mom and dad handing it to you is not the way to make productive citizens. Stop supporting institutions of higher learning they just piss away your contribution on developing more liberals..mb

Well now that he has put it on paper, the next time the institution censors and rejects conservatives they need to hold his feet to the fire and fan the flames with this statement.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

That is why I did not attend Harvard. x 2 I chose instead, to go work at a lumber yard for $4.00/hr where all my co-workers were white Scandinavians except Dolly, the deaf-mute Mexican, janitor lady. She was a hoot. She would shuffle along all hunched over carrying her bottle of cleaner and clucked like a chicken when she walked. The guys in hardware super glued a quarter to the floor one day. Hoo boy, Dolly was a shufflin and a cluckin around that thing in circles, trying to pick it up and put it in her pocket. Everyone laughed and laughed. Except me. I thought it was mean.
