The university presidents did not answer yes or no and instead gave nuanced responses.
Is calling for the genocide of Jews against the code of conduct for Harvard?
Well, it depends on the context, answers Ego Nwodims Dr. Claudine Gay, the president of Harvard.
Stefanik replies, That cant be your answer: UPenn lady, same question, yes or no?
So I will ask you straight up.
Do you think genocide is bad?
Could I submit an answer in writing at a later date?
Chloe Finemans Kornbluth answers.
Then, suprised, Stefanik says, Am Iwinningthis hearing?
Stefanik embraces the moment.
I am here today because hate speech has no place on college campuses.
To clear things up, what does violate the code of conduct at your schools.
What about if someone on campus yelled, I poisoned the water supply?
Gay answers, If they poisoned it with diversity, that could be wonderful.
It sounds delicious, Magill responds, as the skit skewers DEI.
Later, a frustrated Stefanik asks, Can you take a moral stance on anything?
Can anyone here say yes to a single question?
See, see, finally.
A real president of a real university, Stefanik says.
Thats actually our school motto: U of P:We are a real university, he answers.
And will you promise to eliminate all antisemitism from your campus?
Then, he hedges.
My campus is the internet.
Antisemitism is kind of our most popular major and our mascot is porn.
Stefanik asks, Okay, well then will you offer a course explaining why antisemitism is wrong?
He answers, Lady, we will offer a course onanything.
Watch the skit above.
