Harvard University has yet to reprimand publicly a prominent faculty who was found four months ago to have discriminated against Jewish Israeli students -- but hailed him last month as a civil rights hero.
The Dalai Lama laughs with Harvard’s Kennedy School Prof. Marshall Ganz after playfully pulling his mustache at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., Friday, Oct. 31, 2014. Harvard University has yet to reprimand publicly a prominent faculty member who was found four months ago to have discriminated against Jewish Israeli students — but hailed him last month as a civil rights hero.
The students enrolled in Mr. Ganz’s “Organizing: People, Power, Change” course and proposed doing a project on strengthening support for “Israel’s liberal and Jewish democracy, being a cultural, economic and security lighthouse.” An external investigation by Allyson Kurker found that Mr. Ganz told the students to change their topic “because other students and teaching fellows ‘objected to the premise of Israel as a Jewish democracy,’” the letter said, quoting from the investigation.
The investigation found the professor’s treatment “created a hostile learning environment for the students based on their Israeli nationality and Jewish ethnicity and ancestry,” in what Brandeis described as a violation of federal law.professor Marshall Ganz told a group of students that the words “Jews” and “democracy” can’t be applied to Israel and organized a “Palestinian solidarity” discussion during class.
Brandeis retorted that the “professor is no civil rights champion when it comes to minorities he personally finds distasteful, namely, Jewish Israelis. He is in fact a civil rights violator.” Harvard has been blasted for its cautious response to pro-Hamas campus activism since the Palestinian militant group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which included a letter from 33 student groups blaming the Jewish state for the terrorist raid that left more than 1,400 Israeli civilians dead.
