Quote of the day

Omar Sultan Haque is a long-time teacher at Harvard. It appears that he is currently a lecturer on Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and has also taught Anthropology, Psychology, and Religion and Law at Harvard. See his own mind-bobbling profile here. Chris Rufo and Ryan Thorpe interviewed Dr. Haque for City Journal in “Harvard Researcher: the University Is ‘Totally Corrupted.’” In the concluding question they asked him whether he still considers Harvard a university in the proper sense of the word. He responded:

Outside of fields where people use equations, Harvard is a non-sectarian university only in name. It has been captured and subverted: from syllabi to exams, from admissions to graduation, from hiring to promotion. Harvard remains in denial of its own radicalism. It sneers and looks down on most of America and on American values like color-blind equality, meritocracy, free speech, hard work, and individual responsibility. Today, Harvard resembles an aging billionaire secluded in his mansion, consumed by narrow moral obsessions, clutching his treasures, disconnected from a world he scorns. He fades into sanctimonious irrelevance, even as the world moves on to create alternative, courageous, and truly American educational institutions—better ones—unapologetically committed to the pursuit of truth, wherever it leads.

Whole thing here.
