Excerpt: This is the Final Report of the Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias.
This report summarizes the findings of the Task Force’s study of conditions at Harvard University. We gathered oral and written documentation between March and September 2024, and we devoted the rest of 2024 and beginning of 2025 to writing the report. Our work involved meeting with hundreds of students, faculty, and staff in listening sessions for specific segments of the campus community as well as private conversations with individuals. We also met with members of the wider Harvard community, including alumni. In our outreach, we spoke with non-Jews, American Jews, and Jewish and Arab citizens of the State of Israel within the Harvard community.
Nothing like a report about how many Jewish students are discriminated against at Harvard to get the antisemites to circle their wagons in defense, attempting to change the subject to “Israel.”
They obviously haven’t read the report.
What a disgrace. Fraudulently pushing the narrative that protests against genocide is antisemitism. Your other blatant fraud is claiming that “Jewish students don’t feel comfortable on campus.” If you only talk to Ziionist extremist genocide promoters, who are somehow deluded into thinking they are Jews in good standing, and literally NEVER talk with the significant percentage of Jewish students who actively against the genocide, of course you will get that distorted story. That PFS presents itself as an advocate of press speech while engaged in a multi-moth campaign to enable a blatant genocide campaign against civilians on behalf of a foreign country is despicable beyond words. In its current form PFS does not represent free speech, Princetonians or even the interests of American citizens.
By the way, why is that unlike most non-profits, you consistently leave details about your major donors blank on your IRS forms? Yes, technicalities legal permit it. Decency does not. If the major donors are proud of their blank check support of Israeli’s genocide operations, then why don’t they want their names known to the public?
This seems the opposite of free speech; seems this is a “Woke Right” report. It uses Jewish identity and its protection as weapons against criticism of Israel.
Princetonians for Free speech should lambast the producers of this report and those would block circumspection about US and Princeton support for Israel.

Excerpt: I am giving $100 million to the University of Austin because the feedback mechanisms of higher education are broken.
Almost every system that works, works because of feedback. Evolution works because helpful mutations survive while harmful ones die off. Democracy works because voters support effective leaders and remove ineffective ones. Markets work because prices tell producers when to ramp up or scale back. Science works because the data from an experiment tells the scientist how likely their hypothesis is to be false.

FIRE
Excerpt: FIRE has previously argued for colleges and universities to adopt institutional neutrality, both as a boon for the campus climate and as an insurance policy for the university. By declaring itself neutral on major political and social issues, a university ensures that it does not chill potential dissenters on campus by constantly taking official positions on unresolved topics.
But recently, two public universities demonstrated that they misunderstand what institutional neutrality entails. They used the principle to restrict student speech under the guise of protecting university neutrality.

Excerpt: A recent essay in these pages by Charles F. Walker posits that the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s rankings don’t actually measure the speech climate of college campuses because they penalize colleges for disruptive speech that is constitutionally protected. Walker’s argument is rooted in a number of misconceptions, not the least of which is that he seems not to understand what the rankings are for. Moreover, he misrepresents the law around disruptive protests. But because the first problem swallows the second, let’s start there.

They are really trying to conflate cricism of Israel and anti-semitism. I mean its in the title! Israel comes up over 1,800 mentions. While they should NOT allow inappropriate protests or anti-semitism. Criticism of Israel or anti-Israel bias is not the same.
They even used an Israeli professor as an example of “anti-semitism”. She wrote an article in the British journal, The Guardian:
“I’m an Israeli professor. Why is my work in Harvard’s antisemitism report?
