    And though she has resigned as president, she still keeps her job at Harvard as a (cough) "scholar."

    The salary is about $900K, which is more than I made in 7 months.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      And the Associated (with Democrats) Press finds conservatives pouncing. Or is is seizing?

        I thought that was from the Bee when I read it.

        But no!

        It is real AP.

                    On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote “SCALPED,” as if Gay was a trophy of violence, invoking a gruesome practice taken up by white colonists who sought to eradicate Native Americans.

                        Wonder if he would take Gay's old job?

                          What I learned, however, was that DEI was not about diversity in its purest form, but rather DEI was a political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI’s own methodology.

                          Under DEI, one’s degree of oppression is determined based upon where one resides on a so-called intersectional pyramid of oppression where whites, Jews, and Asians are deemed oppressors, and a subset of people of color, LGBTQ people, and/or women are deemed to be oppressed. Under this ideology which is the philosophical underpinning of DEI as advanced by Ibram X. Kendi and others, one is either an anti-racist or a racist. There is no such thing as being “not racist.”

                          Well summarized.

                            I might have mentioned before, but when I was doing graduate work at Syracuse University in 2016, I was surprised that "safe spaces" were literally physical locations. Signs in a coffee shop would declare the space "safe space for all" or something... until then I thought it was just a joke/phrase! Of course, I was tempted to test if the space was really safe for "all" or if it was really just a place to be safe from opinions that might hurt your feelings.

                              The question that Ackman hints at, in a general way, is this: Would any person with a CV consisting of 11-12 publications be considered qualified to be president of Harvard University, or would a higher academic standard be invoked?

                                I think the publications could be waived for a person of stature.

                                How many pubs does Condi Rice have?
