I'm surprised these senior executives were unable to bob and weave on camera under questioning from these knuckleheads.

Q: Does calling for the extermination of Jewish people constitute a violation of $university Code of Conduct?

A: Thank you for the question. I and the entire University community categorically condemn Anti-semitism in all forms.

Q: You didn't answer the question. What about the speech code?

A: I don't think I can be any clearer, congresswoman. We categorically condemn all forms of Anti-semitism, and Islamophobia too, for that matter. Hate has no place at $university.

GOTO 10

This is in media training 101 for executives, at least in the tech industry.




not the sharpest tool in the box, considering https://boingboing.net/2023/12/11/harvard-president-claudine...

>In one example, taken from page 12 of Gay's dissertation, Rufo points out the now-Harvard president seemingly "lifts an entire paragraph" from a 1990 paper by Lawrence Bobo and Franklin Gilliam.

Appearing in Bobo and Gilliam's original paper, published seven years before Gay wrote her thesis, is the phrase "blacks in high-black-empowerment areas–as indicated by control of the mayor's office–are more active than either blacks living in low-empowerment areas or their white counterparts of comparable socioeconomic status."

Then in Gay's paper she writes "African-Americans in 'high black-empowerment' areas–as indicated by control of the mayor's office — are more active than either African-Americans in low empowerment areas or their white counterparts of comparable socioeconomic status."


Can the NY Post do something more on the paragraph scale?
