Harvard Professor Wisse on Harvard, Wokeness and the Military

Spectator | Ruth Wisse

In How Harvard Went Woke (9/13/21 Spectator), professor emirata Ruth Wisse recounts Harvard's increasing capitulation to fear and cowardice in the face of anti-intellectual assailants since her 1993 arrival.

"I would witness academic decline over the next 21 years: a decline I was powerless to arrest and see no immediate prospect of being reversed."

On 9/20/21, Wisse furthers her critique in her WSJ piece, Afghanistan Was Lost in the Halls at Harvard, arguing that the 40-year ROTC ban "sent a deeper message: that American civilization isn't worth defending."
