The GOP called some college presidents, in a pretext, to ask them questions about, school policy, about some pro-Palestinian demonstrators. It became an attack on them and the colleges, one of the presidents, resigned why, NPR stated their crime this way, They answered a hypothetical question in a legal way. The GOP has kept this attack going for some time, and the sad thing most, all the news channels were, not even questioning, if it was real.
They asked Boston Mayor Wu about what happened, with the presidents. She dodged, the question, in a way, that answered the GOP attack, but not the question.
As it was a hypothetical, question, there was no answer, until it real happened.

Now, We get the rest of the story!
Bill Ackman took a Wall Street tactic to an Ivy League fight in his attempt to oust Harvard’s president
Ackman started sounding off about Harvard’s handling of antisemitism on campus shortly after the October 7 Hamas attack. He called for the students who blamed Israel for the attack to be outed so “that none of us inadvertently hire” them.
Later, he said on X that the leaders of Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania should “resign in disgrace” over their congressional testimony.
His campaign against Gay hasn’t managed to oust her. But Ackman carried the banner for an army of pundits and wealthy donors who have been on the attack against what they perceive as the leftist agenda on college campuses.
Ackman this week denounced the doxxing trucks prowling Harvard’s campus, which have displayed students names and faces and called Gay “the best friend Hamas ever had.” But in a follow-up post on X, he suggested the trucks harassing Gay may serve a legitimate purpose.
“Perhaps the doxxing trucks will give President Gay some perspective on what it is like to be Jewish and/or Israeli on the @harvard,” he wrote on X.
If Harvard were a publicly traded company, its stock may have fallen the minute Ackman went on offense, causing other investors to flee. But Harvard isn’t beholden to shareholders with a fiduciary duty to maximize value. As a private institution, it serves an array of parties, including students, faculty and alumni, many of whom bristle at the notion that one wealthy donor could wield such outsize influence.
“We can’t function as a university if we’re answerable to random rich guys and the mobs they mobilize on Twitter,” Ben Eidelson, a professor at Harvard Law School, told the New York Times this week.
Without CNN, I would never know who baked up this attack on Harvard!
