Cornel West, Harvard Affiliates Call for University to Divest from ‘Israeli Apartheid’ at Rally
To the editors:
Daniel J. Hemel’s comment on Harvard’s deafening silence towards the catastrophic quake that killed over 40,000 Pakistanis (“A Truly Global University,”
Oct. 14) deserves high praise. His is the first voice out of Harvard to
speak out and question why the University with its billions is being
miserly in donating to the millions left homeless. Such an uncharitable
attitude from the world’s richest academic institution only betrays a
callous bias against people far off and thus out of Harvard’s radar.
As a Pakistani-American and an Extension School student at
Harvard, I am disappointed at the lack of interest and concern shown by
those who know me. Having spent two months at Harvard Summer School
this past summer, I thought I had made some inroads with people who
knew where I was coming from. I was wrong.
