Universities That Can't See the Forests of Antisemitism Of the Context Trees Will Lose Donations Big Time

 

Jess Unruh in California once intoned
“Money is the mother’s milk of politics” needed for political power to be grown
Money is also  the mother’s milk of the ivory towers
That grows the endowments and gives academics its influential powers
A 2 edged sword to inflate a donor’s ego with faculty professorship named after her or him
Or an academic or athletic building, training facility or gym
But if the lofty goals of a donor and the university diverge
And the multimillions to be pledged now are to be purged
The university is suddenly in a world of hurt and must be headed for academic purgatory when the endowment must be invaded
And the ever rising increase tuition and faculty salaries must be degraded
After the abysmal performance by the presidents  of Harvard, MIT and Penn
Ross Steven of Stone Ridge Asset Capital Management has indicated Penn will not receive one more dollar again
Has indicated Penn has violated the conditions of a $100 million gift
Due to antisemitism on its campus very rift
The CEO Bourla of Pfizer whose grandparents were gassed
Is context enough why we cannot let hate speech on campuses last
Wealthy Jews have thrown down the gauntlets to withdraw funding from schools that allow antisemitism to flourish
Which should be picked up by non-Jews for any donations to any school that antisemitism nourishes.
