“Snitches get stitches” is a threat typically made by adolescents to avoid punishment by intimidating those who might expose their misdeeds. Yet it seems Harvard is a glorified junior high these days, with Lawrence Bobo, its dean of social sciences, threatening faculty who publicly criticize the university for its mistreatment of Jewish students.
Writing in the Crimson, Bobo argued that it is “outside the bounds of acceptable professional conduct for a faculty member to excoriate University leadership, faculty, staff, or students with the intent to arouse external intervention into University business.”
Faculty who appeal to external actors to reverse gross injustices at Harvard may not get literal stitches, but

Shouldn't be a problem. They're all leftists anyway.

Harvard is a law unto itself and you'd better not cross the line. You've been warned.

Harvard cannot be taken seriously when it hires hustlers like Bobo and bestows upon them the status earned by legitimate scholars of the past. Today, the truly brilliant minds who once made Harvard great would be fired if they questioned whether welfare is being conned, unborn children ought to be killed for convenience’s sake or boys menstruate and give birth. Some Harvard alum who I know are embarrassed but don’t believe the funhouse of a school can ever go broke. Yes, it can and if it doesn’t shape up it will and then become unrecognizable as an enlightened institution of learning.

Like the UN, it seems that Harvard needs to be relocated to another country or be otherwise eliminated for the harm it brings to our country. It appears that Biden's West Point is in the process of outliving its usefulness to our country's military as well, unless Trump gets elected and cleans house at West Point and the leftist/Jihadi-infested Pentagon.

"with the intent to arouse external intervention"
Proving intent can be a bear. But has due process been eroded to a degree that intent need only be plausible, not proved?

Just another reason for Harvard to be "Bud Lited" in its recruitment of students. Bobo [what's in a name?] is part of the looming disaster. Bring it on!

Looks like Lawrence Bobo is a Nazi.

Under what circumstances is it OK to mistreat Jews for being Jewish?
Lawrence Bobo seems determined to create an environment of institutional bigotry at Harvard. Demanding silence from the faculty in the face of hostile treatment of Jewish students isn't leadership. It's more like an invitation to keep it up.

Well, should not Dean Bobo (is that a typo? Bozo?) be legitimately tarred with the ever-populat "Nazi!" smear?

Message should be sent to Jewish students, alumni, donors: Harvard doesn't want your enrollment or dollars.

Unless of course the complaint comes from the left in which case it is profound, prophetic, a lonely brave voice, a desperate yet deeply patriotic call for the renewal of a ... [yawn, you know the scene]

Do these people even listen to what they are saying? How can someone be so tone deaf?

Wikipedia lists Bobo, a black man, as the "W. E. B. Du Bois Professor of the Social Sciences." What's next, the Che Guevara Professor of Sociology?
You can't make this stuff up.

Two years ago, Bobo teamed up with Claudine Gray (remember her?) to punish and ostracize black Harvard professor Roland Fryer Jr. for having the audacity to question leftist racial ideology.
A documentary was produced about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8xWOlk3WIw

It looks to me like the fools in charge at 'HAAAAAAAVVVVVVAAAAADDDDD' are deliberately destroying the reputation for excellence that was earned by many decades of hard work by many very smart people. Hard to build, easy to destroy. Once the reputation is gone, employers will not seek to hire their graduates, the best students will go elsewhere, the best professors will likewise go elsewhere, donations will dry up, the organization will fade from national prominence into obscurity.
Gee, it couldn't happen to a better group of Leftist Totalitarians.
(Well, maybe Columbia U, which I believe is in a similar situation.)

"Harvard 'Corporation'" is less a University, than it is an Alumni Fund or International Investment Bank, what with billions of dollars in cash and assets that are under the "management" of only a few leftists. Oh, and they also get lots of money from the Federal government (aka "taxpayers")_ through "grants and assistance," as well as monies from less than savory international leaders, ostensibly to fund, "Chairs," or "Distinguished Professorships," or entire buildings.

I think Haavaad should start taking the school apart. Brick by brick. Sell them to people who know what to do with them--primarily BUILD something else.
