Gay

I'm really excited because we come here in the first couple.

Yes, in here. Number one. Number one in here. Because we wake up in the early morning and come together, and the first one is us.

Because for the health and the tax in Thailand, if we get married, we have to list off the tax. And I have to sign the health and for the surgery or everything for her.

Yeah. And for the property I give her for the marriage is OK in Thailand if I sign the marriage license here.

Yeah.

So today, do you feel like you have the same rights as everybody else in Thailand? Yeah. Well, congratulations to both of you. Thank you. That gay employee, just one of around 200 couples.

Our commitment to free speech extends.

That type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me.

I've heard that thoughtless, reckless, and hateful language on our campus. Yes.

I will say again, that type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me.

It is at odds with the values of Harvard.

We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. It's when that speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies against bullying, harassment, and intimidation.

Is that speech according to the code of conduct or not? We embrace a commitment to free expression and give a wide berth to free expression, even of views that are objectionable, outrageous, and offensive.

As I observed earlier, I reject that characterization.

That long predates my time as president.

I have no reason to contradict the facts as you present them.

That is an incorrect characterization of what transpired. What's the characterization? I'm not going to get into details about a personnel matter.

As I've said, that type of hateful, reckless, offensive speech is personally abhorrent to me. today that no action will be taken. What action will be taken? When speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies, including policies against bullying, harassment, or intimidation, we take action and we have robust disciplinary processes that allow us to hold individuals accountable.

I can assure you we have robust disciplinary processes with actions underway.

Given students' rights to privacy and our obligations under FERPA, I will not say more about any specific cases other than to reiterate that processes are ongoing. Do you know what the number one hate crime in America is? I know that over the last couple of months, there has been an alarming rise of anti-Semitism, which I understand is the critical topic that we are here to discuss.

That's correct.
