January 24, 20241 yr House demands UPenn turn over trove of documents in antisemitism investigation Quote A House committee sent a letter to the University of Pennsylvania on Wednesday demanding the school turn over documents related to an investigation into antisemitism on campus. Rep. Virginia Foxx, the Republican chairwoman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, is requesting that UPenn respond to the document request by no later than February 7. The committee is seeking a wide range of documents, including reports of antisemitic activity on campus since early 2021; how UPenn responds to hate crimes; disciplinary actions against staff and students related to alleged targeting of Jews; documents and financial information linked to a Palestinian literature festival held on campus last year; and information on foreign donations, including donations from Qatar. "We have grave concerns regarding the inadequacy of Penn’s response to antisemitism on its campus,” Foxx wrote in the letter to Larry Jameson, UPenn’s interim president, and Ramanan Raghavendran, the chair of the board of trustees. Lawmakers launched a formal investigation into UPenn, Harvard University and MIT last month following disastrous testimony about antisemitism from the leaders of the three schools. Liz Magill stepped down last month as UPenn’s president in the wake of her testimony on Capitol Hill. Scott Bok, the chair of the board of trustees, also stepped down. UPenn did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Foxx slammed Harvard on Tuesday evening for an "unacceptable” response to the committee’s document request and suggested lawmakers could issue a subpoena if the university does not comply. Man, it looks like UPenn is filled with a ton of @Dave Moss's

February 21, 20241 yr Harvard condemns antisemitic image circulated by pro-Palestinian groups on campus Quote The cartoon, shared on Instagram accounts belonging to the Harvard Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine group, the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and the African American Resistance Organization, shows a hand etched with the star of David and a dollar sign holding nooses around the necks of what appears to be boxer Muhammad Ali and Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was a longtime president of Egypt. But they did say the were sorry....

They also lack basic problem solving and critical thinking skills. The Flynn effect has reversed according to recent data I’ve seen, but (queue the accusations of racism) it is essentially entirely explained by changes in racial demographics of our youth. On a racially adjusted basis, there is a slight/negligible decline since the mid 20th century or no change from what I’ve seen. Broadening the undergrad pool has had an obvious cheapening factor to the value of the undergraduate degree and quality of the students, particularly in non-math related majors. Basic problem solving and critical thinking skills are a derivative of intelligence; yes, students should probably be exposed to things like the Socratic method more frequently and at an earlier age to develop the ability to logically support their positions, but at the end of the day there is a minimum threshold of intellect necessary to engage in these sorts of things at a competent level.

February 24, 20241 yr Fascinating insight. Does Charles Murray have any thoughts on the type of people who believe Donald J Trump has a 90th percentile IQ? Asking for a friend.
