Fully Vaccinated Harvard Suspends In-Person Learning

“Harvard Business School moved classes for all first-year and some second-year MBA students online for a week beginning Monday, following a spike in Covid-19 cases the school attributed to off-campus social gatherings. In an emailed statement Monday, HBS spokesperson Brian Kenny wrote that the school made the decision to temporarily shift to remote learning with the support of Harvard University leaders, advised by city and state public health officials.

He added that contact tracers have determined that the virus is not spreading in classrooms”

Let me get this straight.  The virus is not spreading in the classrooms, so the Business School closes the classrooms to stop the spread of the virus which is not spreading in the classroom.

Once again, William F. Buckley, Jr.’s words ring true: “I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University. Not, heaven knows, because I hold lightly the brainpower or knowledge or generosity or even the affability of the Harvard faculty: but because I greatly fear intellectual arrogance, and that is a distinguishing characteristic of the university which refuses to accept any common premise.”
