First, Fire Harvard’s Administrators

That is the radical platform on which Harvey Silverglate, long-time criminal defense attorney and vocal defender of campus freedoms, is campaigning for one of five open seats on Harvard’s Board of Overseers.

The university evidently didn’t want to take any chances with another insurgency from this lawyer, whose home in Cambridge, Massachusetts is just minutes from Harvard Yard. This time around a rule change boosting the required signature count more than tenfold, to 3,188, came into effect. The maneuver kept Silverglate’s name off the 2023 ballot. “Dirty trick,” Silverglate calls it. “You’ve heard of voter suppression. This is candidate suppression.

If Harvard could rid itself of most of the bureaucrats, Silverglate says, it could cut the cost of attendance in half. FIRE is non-partisan, Silverglate says: “We have represented professors on the far right and people on the far left…FIRE has managed to save thousands of individuals. What we have not changed is the culture.”

In 2020 a gang of academics attempted to get Pinker expunged from a list of fellows at the Linguistic Society of America, accusing him of a “pattern of drowning out the voices of people suffering from racist and sexist violence.” His offense: tweeting that the problem with police shootings is not so much the racism but the frequency. Pinker is sufficiently powerful that he was able to brush off the attack.

More than just Harvard! Virtually every university!

P.S. I am not a crackpot
