The Scarlet A: Activism Under Attack at Harvard
""disqualify him from serving in his role at Harvard. They reveal an ideology unbefitting of American society, let alone its most elite institution of higher education. The university must fire him immediately.""
""Students came to us that way, with a set of expectations that they would not hear language or thoughts that would be offensive to them," he said, which Garber (correctly) called "inimical to the exercise of free speech.""
""Harvard Launches an Attack on the Culture of Liberty""
Harvard dismissed resident dean Gregory Davis after conservatives publicized old social media posts in which he made hateful remarks about Donald Trump and the police. The right-wing site Yardreport published his posts and demanded immediate termination, arguing the comments disqualified him. The firing recalls Harvard's 2019 removal of Ronald Sullivan, which drew condemnation from groups such as the ACLU and FIRE and criticism from conservative outlets. The episode is presented as part of a wider pattern of repression at Harvard that targets activism across ideological lines and raises concerns about campus free speech. President Alan Garber linked censorship to student expectations and a generational shift among faculty.
