“Fire Claudine Gay posthaste,” Swain posted Thursday on X, as part of a post titled “Some free unsolicited advice for Harvard University.”
“She can be relieved of duties until the terms are negotiated.
“Hire the best man or woman who can steer the university back towards sanity.”
[Choose merit over identity, in other words. Maybe Carol Swain could do that job. They’d never hire her in a million years, but perhaps the Harvard Corporation should reflect on that for a while to start thinking about the root of their problems. — Ed]
