On Tuesday, Harvard University's President Claudine Gay denounced the acts of terrorism committed by Hamas in Israel. This statement comes after a contentious joint declaration signed by student organizations at the institution, which blamed Israelis for the recent regional conflicts.
"Let me also state, on this matter as on others, that while our students have the right to speak for themselves, no student group — not even 30 student groups — speaks for Harvard University or its leadership," she said. Former Harvard President Lawrence Summers strongly criticized the university's belated response on Monday, asserting that the statement failed to "address the demands of the current situation."
Senator Ted Cruz, a Harvard Law School alumnus and a Republican from Texas, echoed Summers' remarks on Monday, asserting that the university's silence is "utterly indefensible."
