Remember this:

It was never about antisemitism.

It has always been about taking control of higher ed institutions and bending them to the will of authoritarians.

From today’s @bostonglobe.com. I’ll link the full article below, but for those who hit a paywall…

“Velchik — who holds two degrees from Harvard, one from the college and one from the law school — was the sole lawyer arguing the case for the White House in July.”

You really can’t make this up.

A DOJ lawyer accused
Harvard of 'indifference to antisemitism? As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler's perspective.
Michael Velchik once also told a peer that "Mein Kampf" was among his favorite recent reads.
Hilary Burns • Tal Kopan •
Updated September 2nd, 2025, 7.04 AM

The cornerstone of the Trump
administration's justification for cracking down on Harvard University is that the Ivy League school has allegedly allowed antisemitism to fester on campus.
"The choice was made, let's not give federal taxpayer dollars to institutions that exhibit a wanton indifference to antisemitism," the lawyer defending the government's case said in federal court in July.

Yet that lawyer, Michael Velchik, when he was a senior at Harvard 14 years ago, submitted a paper for a Latin class written from the perspective of Adolf Hitler, according to three people studying in the department with knowledge of the incident. The assignment was to write from the perspective of a controversial figure, but Velchik's choice of Hitler so unnerved the instructor that he was asked to redo the assignment.
And in an email to a peer about 18 months later, as he was preparing to enter law school, Velchik wrote that he'd enjoyed Hitler's autobiography and political manifesto, "Mein Kampf," more than any other book he'd read recently during a year of travels, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by The Boston Globe. He did not mention Hitler's perpetration of the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were murdered.
