Harvard’s president saved the day when I could not write about an attack on Iran that has not yet happened.

Harvard promised us as we motored out of Cambridge that it would always be there for us. And while I think that they had other services in mind, I have to thank the current president of the university for providing comic material periodically to my email. His words are delusional. Harvard used to be the preeminent American university; now it is a left-wing incubator for unchallenged youth. It is riding on its reputation, but even that can only take it so far.

Harvard is very proud of its traditions. For example, graduation is always the 39th Thursday of the term. During my day, some students asked to have final exams before winter vacation so we could have study-free fun like our friends from other schools. The dean of students answer: “You are here for four years, we are here for our careers, and Harvard is here forever!”

Back to President Alan Garber, M.D. In his latest missive, he tells the university’s hundreds of thousands of alumni that things couldn’t be better. The title of his long note is “Looking Ahead” and begins his ruminations with the following:

“The past two years tested us. We confronted fundamental questions about our values and actions—how we combat hatred while protecting free expression, ensure genuine viewpoint diversity, and create environments where challenging ideas can be debated, not suppressed. We had hard conversations and made real changes.”

While President Garber is a distinguished professor of medical economics, he could have worked at any PR firm in the world. What are Harvard’s supposed “values”? And exactly what “hatred” did Harvard combat? One of the features of recent Harvard presidents and Hamas supporters is pure cowardice. Two presidents ago, “Call me Larry” Bacow found a student recording a private Harvard Senate meeting. He demanded that the student leave. The student did not budge. So Bacow continued the meeting with the student recording........
