BECAUSE THEY’RE RUN BY AWFUL, GREEDY PEOPLE: Why Are the Universities Cesspits of Anti-Semitism? “These international students, the large majority from countries with little freedom of speech and little or no tradition of academic freedom, are the shock troops of anti-Semitism. True, they bring some leftist students along with them. But the most anti-Semitic universities, like Harvard, Penn and MIT, are also the ones with the most foreign students from anti-Semitic countries. This was illustrated by the fact that when violently anti-Semitic students assaulted Jewish students at MIT, isolating them in the library and trying to break down the doors to get at them, MIT declined to expel the anti-Semitic thugs. Why? For fear that they would be deported. There are a number of reasons for the corruption of higher education; this is by no means the only one. But it is an important part of the explanation of why our allegedly top universities have gone so completely off the rails. This story in the London Times relates to the U.K., where reliance on foreign students is even more extreme than in the U.S. But it sheds a lot of light on why British universities are so tolerant of anti-Semitism and other left-wing outrages.”
