I wonder how much truth there is to Obama stepping up to support her, and I wonder how much clout he has.
I would google it, but I don't really want to google "obama gay".

You too, sir. I just opened this thread for the first time in weeks and saw your prediction 14 days ago.

By the way, the Harvard Corporation statement at least mentions her transgressions. Not with specifics but it at least mentions that there were some.

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.

Gee, don't you imagine the Columbia President is counting her blessings about a scheduling conflict right now. That was supposed to be the fourth witness at the hearing.

Makes you wonder how accurate these things are.

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.
Uhm, what?

Yes, it is.
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.
