These three women are astonishingly unqualified for their positions...
Everyone knows exactly why these women are Presidents of Universities. It is certainly no secret.
No they’re strong women!!!!!
@@miket3910 they are afraid of having conservative thoughts on campus.... that's not very strong...they don't keep track because the numbers would overwhelmingly support this point.
@@friendme12345 I’m obviously being sarcastic
@@miket3910 yeah...thanks...it is crazy how far these schools have fallen
...and they seem unaware...which is troubling...
All federal money should be pulled from these universities and colleges
And from foreign countries ie Qutar
👍🏽👍🏽
@@kagnewcobra5228 And heavily, China
Obama contributed to these anti American, activists training. He kept his promise to fundamentally transform America.
No, but policies must be changed to promote open discussion of different political views
Shame on you Harvard, MIT, and Penn........
Conservatives often feed on emotion and not facts, this makes it hard for education to be conservative.
They are not the only ones there are a whole lot more universities and colleges that have corrupted a generation of students which have been infiltrated with enemy professors teachers and have brainwashed a lot of teachers in the education system and reaping what has been seen in society today with corrupted morals a hate for country truth and God and christians and discipline and think they are entitled and owed with no respect or understanding of history so they just yell scream won't listen to reason as spoiled behaviour demanding lawlessness without thinking just acting out.
@@brandonf1260 The opposite is true. Democrats are the weaker minded students n professors. They run n hide and scream dictator as soon as common sense opposes their terrible ideas....
@@brandonf1260 Not that many years ago I would've agreed with you, eight or 10 maybe. It's a very common opinion, and I thought the reason was that it was simply true. But at last, a little while later, I realized than my view of conservatives was highly caricatured. And I realized I'd been had.
For opinions like the one you expressed are what one is taught by: most university faculty (especially younger ones and TAs of course), most of one's fellow students at almost all universities, most American movies, most American TV shows, most American news outlets, most American magazines, most American celebrities, most or perhaps nearly all American teachers, very nearly all American liberals, all American left-wingers and all American wokesters. And it's been that way since about 1980.
The demonization of conservatism has been so energetic, so thoroughgoing, that you actually owe it to yourself to consider how it is that they haven't gone away. If your answer to that is that "Uh, because they're evil and immortal like vampires" and you say it because you don't think the question even deserves a moment's thought, I understand. I was once like you. It's what I would've said.
But I suggest you take it seriously anyway, simply out of non-conformity - if your original liberal spirit of non-conformity still has a flicker of a pulse after however many years spent conforming to liberal ideology and prejudices.
Consider if you will what liberal Americans have shown themselves willing to do and willing to give up in the past ten years alone in order to spare themselves the horrors of conservatism. Consider how many of them are grimly (or cheerfully) determined to re-elect a less-honest-than-average president with a clearly shrunken and wizened brain. Consider that they have joined forces to revamp the language down to its very pronouns. Consider that they stand up for the right of men to walk into women's locker rooms and showers and expose their sex organs in front of the women. Consider that they supported _unnecessarily_ depriving their children of a year or more of irreplaceable education and socialization in the classroom.
I could list another hundred irrational things they've done simply to thwart conservatism. And again, I understand. I understand that they think they have to do whatever it takes. They simply want to be good people. They want to oppose evil. They want to avert chaos, save democracy, ensure decency, save lives, rescue the planet and entrench everything else wholesome and desirable. Because conservatives are evil, ignorant, full of hate, they're a bunch of cartoon characters beyond redemption.
Only it's all a hoax. Conservatism is relentlessly straw-manned. What they are is simply people who believe that the oath of Hippocrates, _First, you shall do no harm,_ is well suited to more walks of life than just medicine, and especially to politics and social engineering. They are profound disbelievers in utopian solutions, in the idea that we today really might be the most morally enlightened and wonderful people of all time (we're not), in the idea that after numberless millennia of humanity struggling with eternal problems, it's the people born after 1945, '55, '65, '75, '85 or '95 who've _Finally Figured It All Out far, far more thoroughly and better than anyone ever has! Nay, perfectly!_ (Cf. Confucius: "The answers were all found long ago.") Actually we're just the latest cohort set to blunder childishly and spectacularly if we make the mistake of believing in ourselves like that.
That's what I finally realized after decades as a liberal. Not all at once, not right away. At first it was barely at all, in a painful haze of cognitive dissonance as what I believed and what I saw with my own eyes were in direct contradiction with each other. Then it was more and more, gradually, as I began to trust the rational and not the socialized part of myself. And at last I realized that my initial attraction to the 'truths' of liberalism was in fact an attraction to being in the 'right' community all along. I wanted to be "the sort of person who knows that [insert any of a thousand liberal tropes about how every liberal/left-wing tenet is by its very liberalness/left-ness inherently superior in morality]" and who is _recognized for it._
And I realized that it had cost me very dearly. It had cost me access to the very truth I thought I was picking off the shelf as easily as consumer packaged goods. I'd been had by a bunch of really rather awful people whose sole merit was sometimes or usually meaning well - especially when other people were looking - and whose demerits would take forever to plumb.
I shouldn't have taken so long to realize all this. I actually stifled the budding of these realizations for a long time because I genuinely feared it meant no longer "being a good person." Oh, what an id io t I was! But late is better than never.
(I also shouldn't have waited so long to start writing all this out. Again, better late than never. At least I've started now. Your comment somehow made it seem like the right time. So thanks.)
@@brandonf1260 Riiiiiight, all these blue haired profs that go to protests screaming till their faces are blue giving their students extra credit for going with them are totally rational and not driven by emotion
They have no answer because they fired all the professors who don't agree with their twisted views
The fact that they don't have that data because they're not interested in it, shows how they REALLY view the idea of diversity. Differences of opinion are not what they're looking for
@@coffeecake323 I'm throwing the bullsh!t flag on your comment. Ever heard of anonymous surveys? Every major university asks or requires their faculty to complete them from time to time. Nothing illegal or unconstitutional about that. Many do collect political and religious affiliation information, and professors are free not to answer. Nevertheless, everyone knows that the percentages of Republicans and conservatives at Ivy League institutions falls somewhere between miniscule and non-existent, because passive forms of political/ideological discrimination are baked into the faculty recruitment process, and it's even worse among some academic disciplines because those areas of study are inherently radical/progressive in nature, i.e., queer studies. Your comment offers a "fig leaf" of cover to these practices. When I was an undergraduate, and again in law school, we knew who every Democrat and Republican faculty member was in the Political Science and Economics departments, and among the law professors. On the poli sci faculty, there was one moderate Republican among 35+ tenure-track professors, and Democrats outnumbered Republicans 3 to 1 even among the economists. For law professors, it was more like 10 to 1, and it was an open joke among the faculty. All of the Republicans were older, and were clearly being replaced by an even more left-leaning generation. That was 25 to 30 years ago.
@@coffeecake323 but they have the data on all sorts of other things , as mentioned because of diversity bollocks. Convenient that having conservative values isn't important to what they call their attempts at wide ranging diversity. Convenient that you think that's fine to have entirely missing from the education system. Identity politics is the absolute bees knees at all other times, but not in this particular instance, amaright?!
@@coffeecake323 They know they look at peoples backgrounds thoroughly so every tweet every post they will find
I bet they know the percentage of libs working for the university at the drop of a hat...... Each University Prez words are dripping with lies..... everytime they open their mouths....
@@coffeecake323bruh these profs care and are watching there students politics. Otherwise they wouldn’t push far leftist ideology in what feels like every college.
Ps: you have a cell phone? They know your politics 😂
No diversity at universities
💯
It's to bad...no diversity. NO funding
They do have diversity hires.
@@kurtdowney1489 what is your definition of diverstiy.
@@misterwallace3479 The definition is the same I have an issue with how it is being used. It shouldn't be used as an advantage to get special treatment. I believe in the merit system. The most skilled and qualified deserve to not be bypassed by someone of a special color, Gender or sexual preferences.
These women would fit in well with a totalitarian state.
They have got their own totalitarian state. Whole college.
Notice how they grin when answering questions. The utter contempt they have is appalling.
Recent polls at Harvard show that 2% of students supported Trump while 1% of faculty supported Trump. Since the country was pretty much split down the middle at 50/50, the argument is that these universities do not embrace diverse thinking as they claim, let alone proportionately represent American thinking. The further argument is that as long as left wing thinking almost unanimously represents university thinking, it leaves very little room to support the existence critical thinking and diversity of thought. What we are currently seeing in these ivy league universities appears to be a direct reflection of a startling poor capacity for insight and ability to question. See what you will in that.
You put it exactly right! It sounds like fascism to me!
Correlation doesn’t equal causation… maybe if you spent more time in school you’d understand that🤷🏾♀️
Nah we have enough data from trump’s term and before to know to never listen to a word of a trumper
I mean I went to Liberty University where liberal thought was squashed so…maybe Conservatives don’t apply to work or attend Harvard because they’re taught to avoid places like this because of liberalism.
What if concepts like "Thought" and "Higher Learning" are mutually exclusive from concepts like "Ideology" and "Political Party Affiliation"? Wouldn't that result in exactly the same data?
Every one of these joke professors are liars..to say the least.
They're deceptively delicious...😅
They are Democrats, what else is expected.
Dei hire all of them
These elites have such a superior attitude. Sickening
The latest teacher's polls say:
98% liberals.
2% fired.
aint that the truth.
These women's snarky little smirks reveal what they think of the rest of us. Time to fight back against their nonsense.
You can see them smiling they are intrinsicly evil
Completely agree with this man . We stand with Israel 🤝🙏
Of course!, criminals stand with each others 🥱
Ty Forbes for exposing this to the citizens. None of this is covered anywhere else.
You obviously don't watch FOX NEWS.
In majority of US universities, colleges and schools conservative views are absolutely forbidden! If a conservative professor expresses his views, his contract for next year simply won't be extended!
Time to "measure" the diversity as it relates to conservative political hiring! AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!!! :)
Also true in Cananda, see Jordan Peterson
If you have tenure, universities can not fire you unless you messed up huge.
@@Cgxy2024 I meant very left (especially last years) very prestigious private high school where my wife worked for 23 years, they do not extend yearly contract if your views are different from their views. My wife kept her mouth shut all years, so it was very difficult to do last years, but other teachers who didn't, didn't stay in school, no contracts extended
Shut all colleges down now
Thank God my grandsons department head was conservative because he got lots of nasty comments from some of his liberal professors because he was in NavybROTC and wore a uniform some days in class so they knew he was probably conservative
Lmfao , sure !
There is no diversity at universities, I’m shocked!!!
Diversity of thought is THE most important goal of a university.
It should be in the broad spectrum of liberal arts, at least.
you mean "should be"... it clearly isnt
@@gardener3017 That would be a tech education, which with the possible exception of the surgeon, can be achieved without going to college, let alone an Ivy League one
Then you should be vehemently against affirmative action.
That is true
The more I watch these hearings, the more nauseating that smirk on the face of the UPenn president becomes. May she resign or be fired quickly.
Dont give grants to those colleges
😂😂😂😂” I can’t provide you data on intellectual diversity, we don’t collect that” they know it’s less than 5% and they’re in hiding
They don't want to collect that data because it exposes their liberal bias and their plan to indoctrinate students into wokeness during their time at college.
How did you calculate that figure?
@@maryanchabursky9148 they’re saying the data doesn’t exist while having it read to them
@@garenthal9638 yah my question was where did he get the 5% figure from?
It sounds like they are very tolerant of hate and inclusive in terms of threats of violence. The idea that such thoughts were buried just beneath the surface of these students is sickening.
You go Mr Wilson. It is about time that someone on the right speaks up about the campuses in this country. We indocrinting our students to hate this country in favor of horrible ideals.
Here is the FACT. The Harvard Crimson conducted a wide ranging study of the faculties at all of Havard's Schools including undergrad, Law and Medical. Less than 2% of the faculty self-identified (even though the survey was anonymous) as "conservative" and 0.0 percent identified as "very conservative." Harvard only values diversity of race, sex, and gender expression. They will not tolerate ANY deviation from the far left liberal orthodoxy and any violation of this orthodoxy will result in firing. Diversity? There is 0.0% diversity of thought at Harvard. Why any parent would send their kid there is becoming more and more the question. I would NEVER hire a lawyer from Harvard or any of these left wing indoctrination gulags.
Bruh I swear every time the Penn lady speaks she puts on a literal demon smile it’s so creepy
Instead of trying to eliminate their student loans they should get a law firm to start class action suits for failute to educate. $100,000 and they can't get good jobs.
These people should be forced to watch the HAMAS videos!!! The STUDENTS should be forced also!!!!!
Sadly, they would cheer.
The Students who have been terrorizing their fellow students who are here on Student Visas should be deported!
"Close to zero......because we believe in a wide range of opinions that match our own."
Conservatives are not allowed to speak at most colleges in America.
why does the federal government AKA the taxpayer have to support these colleges with the amount they charge a student to attend there, they are businesses pure and simple and should not be subsidized by the taxpayer
in a time when the president and faculty of a prestigious university have ticked all the boxes bare the ones with intelligence and competence is a show of where we are
A 100 million donation to the school was withheld until the lady resigned.
Ending AFFIRMATIVE ACTION in admissions and hiring will end most of these problems. We need to restore MERITOCRACY.
the DEI statements that aspiring professors now have to submit at many universities during the selection process will effectively erase any conservative views at universities.
Since wokeism regards meritocracy a threat against power to the international woke movement, and conservatives by default regards meritocracy fundamental for the better of humanity, almost all conservative professors have been replaced with “rightminded” - the term confirming newspeak is vital for the international movement.
These college presidents don't even know a conservative college professor.
Ask Brett Weinstein from WA state, he & his wife were run out of that college, a tenured professor
Man these ladies don't want to directly answer ANYTHING.
Diversity of race was ok until the courts said no, but diversity in thought was never sought!!!
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
“I don’t know if any, but I would make their life a living hell if i did.” - The Honest Answer
Its justice to have these questions asked .and hard to listen to the evasive incompetence of hate enablers
They cant give a straigt answer.
These universities have become a joke
For people who seem almost obsessed with the concept of diversity, they seem to have very little interest in actual diversity.
Keep your kids out of college until this mess gets sorted out.
I blame all of you politicians. You weren't keeping an eye on campuses across the country. How hard would it have been to demand staff breakdowns by political party?
Dude no.
The colleges were shoveling this diversity crap 33 years ago, so it’s been going on for even longer.
All 3 have mastered lying with a straight face.
They have post-doctorate degrees in lying.
Well done. It’s unbelievable…
Where is the professor that said he felt Elation and Exhilaration after he saw what hamas did to the Israel elderley, women and children. Is he still working??
well said
Please Republican leadership for the love of God this is a golden opportunity to right the wrong when it comes to Education K through college.
I really want to be a student at Harvard so I can constantly say "That's Gay" and say I'm talking about our president.
The cant track it. It would be TOO embarrassing. They HAVE To hide it.
Shameful!!!
Send this to EVERYONE
These colleges should receive no government funding
Great video thanks.
Go Joe Go!!! SC Proud
He nailed it.
Great question. More important than ethnic diversity.
This is just the beginning of a sea change in higher education.
I watched the entire video today and here's some reaction. I found the witnesses responses lacking personal morality, notably the Harvard and UPenn Presidents smirking facial features. Their responses were coated in legal paint and vague, while also deflective and never truly answering questions. The most important question is how, how did we arrive here today? Almost immediately after the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack, a well-coordinated pro-Hamas social falsehood erupted all over United States college campuses. How did this hatred for Jews manifest itself into our universities? How is it possible to increase antisemitism while the implementation of DEI was introduced back in June 2021? The answer to this question must be met swiftly and without hesitation. Society must hold our leaders accountable for their inaction and appeasement to destructive ideology. In my laymen opinion, DEI is at the epicenter of this issue. It is abundantly clear that whatever is lectured inside certain university classes, is breading hateful rhetoric while also rewriting historical truths. Society must also start holding students accountable for their actions, they are adults. However, the problem I think, goes back to grade school and parenting. To move forward in a moral society and limit antisemitism, society itself must balance a couple of topics. The topics include, a massive country wide investigation focusing on the root cause of antisemitism, leadership failures, DEI policy and its effect on morality, lack of factual Jewish history taught, and the manipulation of historical truths and facts. The Ivy League schools must be held accountable with changes in leadership and policy moving forward. The United States ideological core appears to be corrupted and influenced by foreign entities at our highest educational institutions, exacerbated by DEI and the "Colonist vs Victim" doctrinational literature. President Joe Biden initiated, by Executive Order, the implementation of DEI on June 25th 2021. Please reach out into the comments and let me know what you think.
Remove all fundings from our tax payer dollars or we will sit on our money and not pay taxes
"No inclusion of diversity of thought"
Well said Mr. Wilson!
Preach sir, preach....
Next time I am represented by a professional anything (doctor, lawyer, politician) I will ask for one that was educated at a conservative university. But then only one of these professions it should not matter what their politics are.
But they’ll track their color or religious beliefs 😂
Don't forget the 176> genders
thank you
Thank you, Congressmen, here is your non-answer.
A lack of abstract thinking...
Something they're terribly comfortable with embracing...
Inevitably inducing an aspiration for much lower expectations...
Reasoning that winning was far better than attaining anything that was remotely hard to see...
Comfortable in their self righteous bubble - stunned to have to answer in the open
Stop giving them Grants!
I am glad that student in our universities in my country is more reasonable enough about anti semitism.
IMO these three academics don't deserve to be in charge of universities, or anything else that might spread their strange views to impressionable minds.
"The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department." - Thomas Sowell
It was a great question! Did they ask, 'What is the percentage of conservative students?'
This governmental representative actually tried to argue that because college campus HR departments aren’t fascist enough and then tried to tie this into antisemitism and Hamas attacking Israel on October 7th. He then actually said that because universities won’t demand professors political opinions then this is an example of George Orwell type behavior.
…and people are praising him in the comment section. This is America now-fascism and the dunning-Kruger effect with constant fallacies, irony and hypocrisy.
God bless Joe Wilson! An insightful man daring to champion the truth.
In our Day we went to school to learn, gain knowledge in our chosen faculties. It seems that that has somehow become the last of the priorities in present Day academia. On top of that the output of these so called prestigious institutions behaves with such appaling arrogance -- these three presidents are a sample of a much larger set of extremely misguided individuals.
100% accurate. But nothing will be done.
Reduce the Money! That will fix it really fast!
PULL THEIR FUNDS NOW!
It's 0 because they won't hire any .
priorities. marxism in the United States is here and clear
time for a change folks
Time to relocate these schools to another country.....Venezuela, Cuba, Nicuragua.....The Gulf....
I have a great deal of teachers in my extended family. Only one is conservative. I actually asked him how is that possible. He said it was because he was the principal and it's a lot different when you're the principal. I have a hard time believing it would be 1% of professors that are conservative. That's way too high.
The only way to answer that question is for universities to require every professor to register their political leanings with the school. Imagine the howling if they had done that!
“Where’s the right to privacy?”
Just like a hive, buzz buzz buzz. They’ve been well trained to only listen to the sound of the buzzing. Anything else is not recognized.
Claudine Gay: the best friend of HAMAS ever had.
They should move to Iran or Quatar and teach there. Hope they don't forget their burkas.
I live in Ohio in 2020 i checked the OSU faculty political donations . As a public school by law they have to post it .
94% Dem , 6% Republican .
Bet it's the same in your state ?
They did not say there was no conservative Professors.
Your personnel is your policy. You have hired those who enhance your mission.
That lady from Penn seems to think it’s not important. She has a kind of smile on her face.
"Not data we collect"....."We do not track that information"....."We do not document applicants political views"....Right
Why are we giving away government grants to any of them?
