"Conservative professors have been systematically purged. It's a disgrace. You [students] are being deprived of an education," he said.
He blamed Harvard's administration for keeping "incompetent" professors in entrenched positions through it tenure system and for coddling leftist ideas.
He also criticized the administration's failure to take more drastic action against the Progressive Student Labor Movement (PSLM) and its members that have occupied Massachusetts Hall for close to two weeks.
"I have gotten emails from conservative Harvard students asking what to do about the loonies out there on the lawn," he quipped. "If I were in the University administration I would arrest their asses and expel them."
Considering Horowitz's recent basking in the media spotlight, campus publicity for the event was relatively scarce.
"I would have liked to have seen him [Horowitz] at the counter protest [against PSLM]," Joseph M. Goodstein '04, an audience member, said.
"I think the lack of publicity was absolutely deliberate. Harvard's conservatives on are so worried about getting David Horowitz protested," Goodstein said.
