Rabbi David Wolpe, a visiting scholar at Harvard's Divinity School, has announced his resignation from the university's Antisemitism Advisory Group. In a statement on social media, Wolpe criticized the ideology that he believes many students and faculty at Harvard hold, which he says portrays Jews as oppressors and inherently evil. Harvard, along with other US academic institutions, has faced criticism for its perceived inaction against antisemitism following recent terror attacks and subsequent strikes in the Middle East. The university's president, Claudine Gay, testified before Congress about disciplinary actions and faculty hiring practices, but did not explicitly state that calling for the genocide of Jews would violate their code of conduct. After facing calls for resignation, Gay clarified her stance, stating that calls for violence or genocide against any religious or ethnic group have no place at Harvard. Wolpe's resignation came after events on campus and what he saw as inadequate testimony, leading him to believe he couldn't make the difference he had hoped for. Despite their differences, Wolpe believes Gay is a kind and thoughtful person. Harvard has faced mounting pressure from alumni and donors over alleged antisemitic incidents on campus, leading Gay to assemble an advisory group to address antisemitism. Wolpe was one of the members chosen for this group, but it is unclear if he will continue serving the student community in other capacities.
