IS HARVARD THE NEW BUD LIGHT?

<p>Cornell Law Prof.&nbsp;William Jacobson says the antisemitic controversies at Harvard, M.I.T., Cornell and Penn are a reflection of the decline of our elite academic institutions.&nbsp;Whether it’s DEI or CRT it’s elevating politics over academic substance and it’s centering race in the middle of everything. It has a fundamental anti-American, anti-capitalist flavor to it.&nbsp;Unfortunately in this toxic mix underway in academia, the most radical elements have chosen to single out Jews as the object of their hatred.&nbsp;Elite institutions are not educating people.&nbsp;We don’t see protests and riots in community colleges, just at the most elite institutions and Jacobson thinks it’s a complete failure of the system.&nbsp;We have elevated identity politics over merit, and equity where outcomes are equalized over equality where everyone is treated fairly.&nbsp;We’re not graduating future generations that we need to keep this country strong.&nbsp;We’re graduating people schooled in the ideology of tearing down our society.&nbsp;Jacobson says DEI is poisonous.&nbsp;It breaks people into identity groups, pitting one group against another and it puts people against the country.&nbsp;We have to get rid of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>GUEST:&nbsp;CORNELL LAW PROF.
