#Harvard #Divinity School announced last week it was pausing its #Religion, Conflict & Peace Initiative, a program that focused on #Israel-#Palestine as a case study. On…April 2, it cut the last remaining position in the initiative. Hilary Rantisi, the associate director…was told her position will not be renewed. She is…the sole Palestinian American staff member at the divinity school.“ | RNS religionnews.com/2025/04/03/ha

Good take by @harvard_law profs Nikolas Bowie and Benjamin Eidelson:
bostonglobe.com/2025/04/04/opi

"#Harvard has suffered real legal setbacks in recent years, including a major [#SCOTUS] loss on affirmative action, and some stakeholders may be leery of another public fight…But a 400-year-old institution should be making decisions with a time horizon of centuries, not news cycles. Making a principled stand now — with the law squarely on its side — is the single best thing Harvard could do to earn its continued place as a symbol of genuine excellence, free inquiry, and commitment to the public good. Filing suit would also enhance Harvard’s legal position going forward, as any retaliation by the administration would be an even clearer violation of the First Amendment."
