70 Harvard Faculty, Including Former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Larry Summers, Admonish Crimson BDS Endorsement

05/11/2022

Seventy Harvard faculty, including former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Larry Summers, today rebuked the Harvard Crimson for its recent endorsement of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, noting that BDS is not, in fact, a movement for social justice.

“As members of the faculty of Harvard University, we are dismayed by The Crimson Editorial Board’s enthusiastic endorsement of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel,” proclaimed the faculty.

Renowned leaders in their fields Gabriella Blum, Amy Comander, Alan Dershowitz, Gary R. Fleisher, Jesse Fried, Jeffrey Hamburger, Jon D. Levenson, Robert Mnookin, Eric Nelson, Elisa New, Steven Pinker, Steven Shavell, David Stern, Ruth Wisse and Richard Zeckhauser are some of the other Harvard faculty who have added their names to the statement, which was organized by Harvard-affiliated members of the Academic Engagement Network (AEN).
