Carole Hooven, a former Harvard professor, explains her resignation, citing being labeled a 'bigot' by students and the stifling effect of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) bureaucracies on free speech. The resignation of Claudine Gay, Harvard's first Black woman president, amid a federal lawsuit and congressional investigation into antisemitism, has caused turmoil. Amari Butler, a Harvard student activist, attributes Gay's resignation to a campaign to silence the Pro-Palestine movement. Harvard faces a crisis as the unraveling of Gay's presidency is detailed in a report. Hooven's departure from Harvard is highlighted, with her experience serving as an example of the fear that stifles campuses due to speech punishment. The issue of academic integrity at Harvard is raised, with a call for universities to maintain clear standards. The lack of public support from department administrators and colleagues at Harvard is emphasized. The impact of the crisis on alumni and the founding of the Council on Academic Freedom at Harvard are also mentioned.

Carole Hooven: “My department administrators told me they could not publicly support me because the ‘optics’ of the situation prevented it.” @SavvyAuntie is correct: with the exception of a few good colleagues (e.g., @sapinker and @jflier), @Harvard totally abandoned @hoovlet. https://t.co/YkYo5JcPH3
