I love the smell of leftist dominated institutions burning in the morning.
A place at Harvard used to be something to boast about -- now students fear it's a stigma.
Early applicants who received acceptance letters from the university last week are considering applying elsewhere, The Post has learned.
Some are citing concerns about experiencing campus antisemitism, while others worry a Harvard degree could hurt job prospects as employers pledge not to hire its graduates because of the university's handling of anti-Israel protests.
This year, the school reported a 17% drop in early applications, representing a four-year low. And the acceptance rate creeped up to 8.7% from 7.6% last year.
One driver, according to college admissions consultant Christopher Rim, is students concerned that they may get tainted by the storm around the college's antisemitism problem.
...
Rim, the founder and CEO of Command Education, says every single one of his clients who applied early to Harvard this year was accepted -- but that not all of them are satisfied.
"Normally, once you get into Harvard, my team and I are done. We're like, 'Great, it's a success, congratulations, goodbye,'" Rim said.
But one particular client's family wasn't celebrating. Instead of accepting their offer from Harvard, the student is scrambling to send applications to the remaining Ivy League schools, Stanford, MIT and Emory.
The student, who is not Jewish, is applying elsewhere over concerns that going to Harvard might hurt employment prospects.
Rim was shocked: "I was like, 'Why would you do Emory if you've already gotten into Harvard?'"
...
"This was the first time this concern has ever come up with a client," Rim said. "They told me, 'I just don't like that attention on Harvard if it's going to hurt my child's chances of getting the right job in the future.'"
It's also affecting Yale, which is seeing its lowest rate of students accepting early admission offers since more than 20 years.
Non-Ivy top schools like Emory and Duke are seeing many more applications.
Employers are warning Harvard students, as well as all students from lunatic asylum schools: we have "zero tolerance" for anti-semitism.
Academics, doctors, lawyers and others are losing their jobs -- and more could find themselves struggling to get hired -- due to antisemitic activism.
Since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, many U.S. employers have grown increasingly wary about prejudice and hatred toward Jews. Some have issued warnings, and others have fired employees for making antisemitic remarks online.
"It only makes sense that displaying hatred or animus towards any minority will impact job prospects, because people want a hate-free environment," Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, told The College Fix.
...
Since October, more than 200 law firms have signed onto a letter to top law schools warning students that their firms have "zero tolerance" for antisemitism, according to information provided to The Fix.
"As employers who recruit from each of your law schools, we look to you to ensure your students who hope to join our firms after graduation are prepared to be an active part of workplace communities that have zero tolerance policies for any form of discrimination or harassment, much less the kind that has been taking place on some law school campuses," the letter states.
The law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, whose Senior Chair Joe Shenker initiated the letter, declined to comment, but a spokesperson directed The Fix to an updated version of the letter, which now lists about 250 law firms.
In the letter, the law firms said antisemitic activities -- including campus protests "calling for the death of Jews and the elimination of the State of Israel" -- will not be tolerated in their workplaces.
While most universities have not commented publicly on the letter, Jim Rosenblatt, dean emeritus of Mississippi College School of Law, told The American Lawyer that they "will pay attention to it."
In theory, I object to this form of #Cancellation by well-heeled establishment organizations, quashing thoughts they don't like via economic coercion.
But in practice, I don't mind these assholes being forced to wear the same cruel shoes they've forced us to wear for 10 years.
Another billionaire is ending, or pausing, his donations to the Hamas front organization "Harvard University."
A billionaire has joined the list of Harvard alumni and donors who are pausing their gifts to the school, which is standing by president Claudine Gay despite accusations of allowing anti-Semitism no campus and plagiarism.
Len Blavatnikm, whose family foundation has given the Ivy League at least $270 million, is halting donations to his alma mater until it addresses what they see as 'rampant anti-Semitism on campus,' as first reported by Bloomberg.
At the Daily Mail: A new poll shows that people want the presidents of the "Poison Ivies" (catchy!) to resign and go back to just doing antisemitism as a hobby.
A majority of Americans say that the presidents of Harvard and M.I.T. should resign after being humiliated over their antisemitism policies and that public funding should be withdrawn from universities that aren't doing enough to tackle anti-Jewish hate.
Those are the damning results of a poll for DailyMail.com as the fall-out from a stormy congressional hearing continues to roil the nation's most prestigious seats of learning.
It has already claimed the head of the University of Pennsylvania.
And voters have a clear message for Sally Kornbuth, president of M.I.T., and Harvard President Claudine Gay: Go now.
Some 56 percent of respondents said they should resign. Only 21 percent backed them to stay in their jobs.
And 65 percent, almost two-thirds, said that universities that fail to tackle antisemitism should have their funding withdrawn.
...
James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners, which conducted the poll of 1000 likely voters, said: 'Americans are clear that the behavior of university presidents on antisemitism has not been up to the standards they expect.
'These findings highlight the gulf between the university elite and the bulk of the public.
'To the public it is pretty simple: it doesn't require a university degree and a fancy title to identify antisemitism and it should not be ignored or underplayed. If it is then America's view is similarly straightforward: The presidents should go.'
