If you don't possess any discoverable information, then why do you keep sending your security team and lawyer to intercept subpoenas?

Harvard just opened an investigation into Larry Summers's ties to Epstein.

That's just PR cover for Harvard.

They've known this entire time.

Epstein literally had an office at Harvard for years.

Watch your feeds.

Who’s engaging with this crisis—and who’s acting like it’s business as usual, still promoting themselves?

In my forthcoming memoir, and follow-up book, I discuss the ways in which academic sexual misconduct is akin to human trafficking. Here's one sign I'm right.

Higher ed loves “critical thinkers” until they challenge the wrong people.

💡 What if academia valued truth-tellers over gatekeepers?

Higher Ed retaliation is real.

The fact that so many survivors stay silent isn’t proof that it doesn’t happen—it’s proof of how well universities suppress it.

If a student is struggling, the university asks: Why aren’t they working harder?

But the real question is: Why isn’t the system working better?

Academia loves asking for proof.

Proof of abuse. Proof of discrimination. Proof your pain is valid.

But when it’s time to hold institutions accountable? Suddenly, testimony isn’t enough.

In the ‘real world,’ abusers get fired. In academia, they get tenure.

UNIVERSITIES = CORPORATE BUREAUCRACIES

📈 Admin salaries rise
📉 Teaching budgets shrink
🎓 Students pay the price

If universities really valued education, why does admin expansion outpace faculty hiring?

The more prestigious the school, the harder it is to hold them accountable.

💡 What if universities had to disclose abuse cases like they do employment rates?
