Harvard’s Offense

Writing for Power Line, Scott Johnson appends a copy of the government’s letter to Harvard in which it finds the university guilty of discrimination against Jewish students and Israelis. Here is a key paragraph from that letter.

Harvard’s inaction in the face of these civil rights violations is a clear example of the demographic hierarchy that has taken hold of the University. Equal defense of the law demands that all groups, regardless of race or national origin, are protected. Harvard’s commitment to racial hierarchies — where individuals are sorted and judged according to their membership in an oppressed group identity and not individual merit — has enabled anti-Semitism to fester on Harvard’s campus and has led a once great institution to humiliation, offering remedial math and forcing Jewish students to hide their identities and ancestral stories.

That is how to describe the woke/DEI obsession in goverment legalese.
