Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has withdrawn from two Harvard fellowship programs, citing 'anti-Semitic vitriol' on campus in the wake of Hamas' deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has withdrawn from two Harvard fellowship programs, citing "anti-Semitic vitriol" on campus in the wake of Hamas' deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
He then said would "regretfully" no longer participate after more than 30 Harvard student organizations signed onto a statement that blamed Israel for the brutal attack. "Today's events did not occur in a vacuum," they wrote. "For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison. Israeli officials promise to 'open the gates of hell,' and the massacres in Gaza have already commenced."
In his letter, Hogan said that the students have "a right to free speech" but said "they do not have a right to have hate speech go unchallenged" by the university.
