Harvard Must Find Its Moral Clarity

As a Harvard alumna, I believe we must demand that the most well-recognized and preeminent higher education institution in the world rediscover its moral clarity and eliminate antisemitism from its campus.

Dear President Gay, Don’t Forget About Us

As President Gay addresses Congress about antisemitism on our campus, she must not forget the ongoing climate of fear and intimidation facing Harvard’s Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian communities.

Harvard Is Failing Ukrainian Students

It’s a shame that at a University with so many resources, it’s so difficult to get support for a cause that is so clearly in line with its ideals. Harvard has a duty to support its students, especially those whose homelands have been devastated by war.
