After a blistering report found flagrant antisemitism at Harvard University six months ago, the Ivy League school promised to reform itself — in order to get Trump to unfreeze $2.4B in federal funding.
But now Harvard has hired a graduate student charged with assaulting a Jewish student during an anti-Israel protest.
Elom Tettey-Tamaklo, 29, was granted a prestigious Graduate Teaching Fellow role in August with a stipend of up to $11,000 just months after he was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery in October 2023 against a first-year Israeli business school student during a “die-in” protest immediately following Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel.
The case was reportedly dismissed in November 2024, but a judge ordered him to complete an anger management course and 80 hours of community service, according to local journalists.
Meanwhile, Harvard was among the 14 universities nationwide that received an “F” from the StopAntisemitism group’s national survey of students. It reported among other things that 39% of Jewish students hide their Jewishness out of fear.
“Antisemitism on American college campuses is systemic and tolerated, and in many cases enabled by the very institutions tasked with protecting our American kids,” said Liora Reza, founder of StopAntisemitism.
The other institutions receiving an “F” for making Jews feel unwelcome and failing to protect them were Brown University, Columbia Univesity, MIT, the New School, Northwestern, Pomona College, Portland State University, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, University of Oregon, UPenn, University of Washington and Yale University.
On May 21, two staffers of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. were shot and killed for being Jewish. Rampant antisemitism is fueling violence.
At the time, Alan Dershowitz said, “This man who killed these two wonderful young people was stimulated and incited by what is being taught at places like Harvard and Columbia. There is blood on the hands of professors and students who are calling for a globalized intifada. In the actual intifada, 4,000 innocent people were killed; they were blown up in buses and pizza parlors.
“When people say globalize it, what they are saying is kill Jewish people, and that is coming from Harvard and it is coming from Columbia,” said Dershowitz, who is professor emeritus at Harvard Law School.
