Harvey Silverglate

And I donated one of those to Harvard.

It's hanging in Backhouse office.

The new president, Claudine Gay, is not known for respecting academic freedom and free speech.

People have said to me, well, give her a chance.

Well, I'm willing to give her a chance, but she does have a record.

And she's a bureaucrat.

I don't think she believes in free speech and academic freedom.

I think she's a progressive, not a liberal.

I'm not happy with the appointment of Claudine Gay.

And it has made more essential my attempt to get on the Board of Overseers.

You have to, in order to run and in order to vote.

This is my second run.

the first time I got enough signatures to get on the ballot.

Then the Harvard Alumni Association sent out a letter to all living Harvard alums recommending that they vote for the officially nominated candidates that excluded two petition candidates of whom I was one.

And

I wrote to the Alumni Association and I said, you have now sent out the curricula vitaes and the policy positions of all the officially nominated candidates.

There are two petition candidates on the ballot.

I would like to be able to send out my positions to the voters.

They wrote me back saying, our policy is to only send out the policy positions and the platforms of officially nominated candidates.

Can you believe that?
