Tarek Masoud: “I want ... my students who have strong positions to actually know why they hold them and to have those positions be subject to the most rigorous test possible, such that if they realize that their position was wrong, they change it.” https://t.co/yIj6KeC5sN

Tarek Masoud wanted to show that Harvard could confront the tensions around Israel-Gaza without vitriol or shouting. So far, it’s worked.

Marc B. Shapiro: “Public support for genocidal terrorists” by faculty should not be tolerated in the name of academic freedom because it “smashes headlong into another professed value of almost all universities: providing a ‘safe space’ for all students.” https://t.co/uNr7u7s6PU
