Thanks for the 4 years tuition though!
I could see them barring them from walking for their degree, but to hold it completely is messed up. Bullshit that ‘the corporation’ overruled the faculty vote.
And that’s why nobody should ever go to a fot-profit school.
The fun thing is that people say “I graduated” or “I’m graduating” but it’s technically more correct to say “I am being graduated (by the university).” I might be mixing it up a bit, but the idea is that the university always has the final say over whether or not you get that important piece of paper at the end.
One of my teachers in high school taught us this, but I never actually thought I’d see it in action. It’s cruel.
Headline is misleading. The article notes that they arent necessarily withholding them permanently, but because they are going through the disciplinary process, and so currently not in good standing, they can’t get them at graduation.
Similar to Israel telling Palestinians that they can’t have a state “right now” and have to come to “agreeable” terms first.
If there is no term given it means permanently.
But they did “give the terms”: they are not in good standing right now, and when the disciplinary action is complete then a final decision will be made.
As long as the students are not allowed to graduate the headline remains correct.
It might be technically correct because bar does not necessarily mean permanently, but it implies that, and your claim that it means permanent is definitely false, especially if you’re basing it on the logic you used to claim it’s permanent.
Technically are permanently barred unless overturned. But the title never used the word permanent.
Technically are permanently barred unless overturned.
The articles notes that they are not in good standing because they are in the process of disciplinary action. So considering this is not a ruling against them that needs to be overturned. If you have some kind of evidence otherwise, I would like to see it.
This is what happens at Harvard when you try to do good. Look at their alumni. Filled with IRL super villains.
Super villains and comedians. Sometimes combinations of both, as in the case of BJ Novak.
Blow Job Novak?
I don’t do (letter period letter period). It’s a conscious style choice.
Fucking pathetic
Vile. I hope those students sue those bigoted, genocidal pigs into the dirt.
McCarthyism is well alive.
Nah, To many republicans sucking Russian Dick for McCarthyism to be doing anything but spinning furiously in its grave.
This is the New McCarthyism, there’s a different enemy now didn’t you hear?
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia…
Yeah, they’re Russians now, not Commie USSRians

My read on the article was that this was the corporation tipping their hand on how that process was going to play out, but I could certainly be wrong. read to me like the faculty voted for them to graduate, but this was the board vetoing that and affirming that they were still to be dealt with, and that the consequences were going to be grim. Hopefully that’s not the case.
So they aren’t being given their first amendment rights… Oh boy I can’t wait to see how this plays out at other companies.
Harvard isn’t a government funded organization, so the first amendment doesn’t apply. Hopefully the students find a way to sue based on the college’s own rules though.
I should like to think the law sees this a violation of the right the students have. Because to me if a private organization that has the power to give you a degree as you’ve paid for it’s services and proven yourself as competent and that degree is recognized by employers, the government etc. Then it should have no right to impose it’s values on people while withholding the end product of their use of services provided in the first place.
Anything otherwise would imply the organization can supercede the government. That would mean cases like this could come from other organizations that prop up would-be government functions and cause a ton of chaos.
I would understand if the protest was a major violation of the rules or it was intended to be a riot or some such other violent event but if my source for what happened is correct then that’s not the case and this whole thing is a petty squabble coming directly from the board of Harvard.
Good ol’ United States of Israel. Once the Global South becomes the new world order, the global power, chit is gon’ get really real.
I wonder when Americans, or better yet, the citizens of the world will ever realize that… the only form of protest that works is BDS.
Money is their god. Disrupt their money and they will listen.
Harvard must not be what it used to be, a little strategy would have told them to keep up their efforts but lay low until they get the degree. Don’t worry, this conflict will be around long enough for your kids to act like maniacs with you. Sticks and stones may break my bones but idgaf about your down votes!
Sticks and stones may break my bones but idgaf about your down votes!
People who don’t care about downvotes don’t announce how much they don’t care. You’re like the people who are very insistent on how straight they are: we all know it’s a BS cover.
Ok
Your comment history is cancer. Easiest block ever.
Run and hide baby
It is pretty common to kick or suspend students who disobey oder misbehave in a University. Occupying University property is a dumb move.
I suggest they publicly excuse and next time act smarter, e.g. not trespassing private property during protest.
With a bit of honesty and luck they can graduate next year.
Call that a valuable lesson in Civil Law.
Congratulations on knowing civil law, fuck you for not having basic human decency though.
