Obama: “Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions — rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.”
Where else did this happen? The Nazi government’s project of remaking German universities was broadly successful, but it produced unintended consequences. The quality of education suffered significantly as classes were regularly cancelled for political assemblies and students' schedules became filled with ideological and paramilitary training.
Have you ever wondered what the world would look like now if Hitler had gotten the atomic bomb first? We were lucky that so many of the best minds left Nazi Germany.
