In the wake of the massacre of more than 1,400 in Israel, several universities have struggled to condemn Hamas’s depraved acts of terrorism. Harvard’s leadership has come under fire for their initial silence and their failure to condemn Hamas in a late statement. Cornell University has apologized for initially failing to admit that Hamas’s attacks were acts of terrorism. Stanford University said it doesn’t take positions on news events, despite previously commenting on the 2020 racial-justice protests and January 6 riot.

The hypocrisy is too much, and some donors have had enough.
