I agree that Harvard is only one of many universities which have ignored blatant antisemitism. However, to Garber’s level, it’s not the federal government’s position to inform people what to assume or learn.
Unfortunately, President Trump and his supporters need to control each American. This is what dictators and kings do — not American presidents.

The world is spherical, so what goes round comes round.
