Harvard Dean Crusades Against Greek Organizations

quote:

Khurana has attempted to justify his effort by claiming that the clubs are exclusive, elitist, and not “appropriate” for the university.


Isn't Harvard both of the things he listed? Exclusive...Check. Elitist...Check. It seems like they align well with Harvard.

They will just do what they have done forever and have secret clubs. The advertised ones were basically a joke.


The secret clubs are the elite ones, but a lot of guys in the standard fraternities were also in the secret clubs.

Harvard is THE most recognizable name in higher education on the planet. It has been that way for more than a century. It has an astronomically large endowment and a business model that would sustain their elite academic status for another century.

Yet the new Dean wants to take big, steaming shite on it. You want the super-rich prep school kids to go there because they are the ones that donate massive amounts of money post-grad. Super-rich prep school kids are the ones that join fraternities and sororities and something they value when looking at which Ivy League school to go to.

Not to mention the powerful, mega-rich alumni that were members of those clubs and greek organizations that will be very pissed off by this.

Sad to see JFK was involved in these sexist clubs in his day. His name should be removed from the airports and space centers nationwide.

Bet that if the alphabet soup of perversion decided to form rainbow clubs, they'd be all about that shite.

Liberal Fundamentalism devours everything in it's path. Eight years ago America was relatively normal, now I'm living in some Kafka-esque dystopian novel.

So no more men's and women's basketball, soccer, baseball/softball, or any other sport.

I guess this will end title 9.


Only student-run groups, the school can still have gender-specific sports because social justice.

They need to get some of their men to claim they identify as women. Problem solved.

What I think is hilarious is the fact that Drew Faust, the President of Harvard, attended Bryn Mawr which is an all women's school. I think that it is very hypocritical for her to say such an environment is toxic because she herself was EDUCATED in such a system.
