Don’t be fooled: Harvard’s neutrality pledge is just lefty butt-covering

Harvard University has announced it will stop using its institutional voice to weigh in on “matters that do not directly affect the university’s core function.”

We’d love to applaud this as a return to sanity, but the move looks purely cynical.

Look: There’s no earthly reason a university should ever comment as a school on contentious social issues. 

Harvard has one mission: to educate. 

And between its insane DEI policies and the wider transformation of American universities into four-year spa/baby-sitting combos for rich kids and aspiring rich kids, it has quite enough trouble doing that already.
