The mask has been discontinued. Claudine Gay, the troubled university president, is circling the wagons around emophilic university president Claudine Gay. Liz Magill of UPenn was forced to resign for her part in last week's shameful congressional testimony into an on-campus anti-Jewish hate speech, appearing alongside Gay and MIT's Sally Kornbluth. Rather, this most prestigious of American institutions is leading the world: Antisemitism is welcomed here. How rancid was it? President Gay has unanimous support for the Harvard Corporation, according to our reporter on Tuesday. A letter from 700 faculty members to the university has also been sent. Proof, if any were required, shows that the gruesome institutional rot goes much deeper than just the head.

President Biden praised his time in the 'trenches' with outgoing chief of staff Ron Klain, and revealed that COVID coordinator Jeff Zients would replace him on his pending departure. Biden and Klain have worked together for decades, in the Senate, in the Obama White House, and in Biden's own. The move deprives Biden of a seasoned advisor at a time when he is facing congress, a looming debt ceiling crisis, the desire to avoid a crisis, and a tense reelection fight that may have him face the man he defeated in 2020.

After Ronald Klain steps down next month, Zients, who previously worked as Biden's COVID coordinator, will be Biden's right-hand man. On February 7, he is expected to leave after the State of Union. Zients became a member of Facebook in 2018 and did not seek re-election in 2020. He said on Facebook that he had 'devote more time to his company and other professional interests.' Zients chaired Facebook's Audit and Risk Oversight Committee while on the board. According to Securities and Exchange Commission reports, the ex-COVID coordinator was paid $100,000 in cash and $300,000 in stock for his work chairing Facebook's audit committee.
