Dear Members of the Harvard Community,
For years, the federal government’s grants to Harvard have helped lead to groundbreaking innovations. Recently, the federal government has threatened its partnerships over accusations of antisemitism on our campuses. A list of demands was issued, warning that Harvard must comply if we intend to “maintain our financial relationship with the government.” Most of these demands are unprecedented and represent direct governmental regulation of the “intellectual conditions” at Harvard.
They include requirements to audit the viewpoints of our students and faculty, and to “reduce their power” for their ideological views. We will not accept that. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. No government should dictate what universities can teach and which areas of inquiry they can pursue.
We do not take our moral duties lightly and we have taken many steps to address and fight antisemitism on campus. However, this will not be achieved by assertions of power, unmoored from the law, to dictate how we operate.
Sincerely, Alan M. Garber (President of Harvard University)

Incels: Masculinity in the Transition to Adulthood
Incels are men who are members of an online community that experiences an unmet desire for sex and blame women for their struggle. Since 2019 there have been several mass murder attacks committed by Incels motivated by Incel ideology creating a threat of future violence. While the vast majority of Incels do not commit such attacks, researchers have begun to study Incels to prevent violence and uncover the true nature of this community. The study of Incels is incipient; therefore, more knowledge about interventions to address the struggles of involuntary celibacy is needed. This paper emphasizes the masculinity strain experienced by Incels who attempt to perform hegemonic masculinity as part of the transition to adulthood but fall short because of their lack of sexual activity. This work proposes the creation and implementation of Incel-specific, online therapeutic interventions and continued research directly with the Incel community to uncover the complexities of Incel experiences.

Texto 3
The artist Glenn Ligon has stenciled the sentences over and over until the words dissolve into abstract patterns. He built on a text by Zora Neale Hurston, who describes leaving the protective black community of her childhood and suddenly confronting the issue of race. The smearing in the painting’s illegible words embody her confusion about this, something Ligon builds on: “Oil paint wants to spread out and smudge. After trying to make perfect letters, I realized that the smudging and disappearance of the letters was more interesting than trying to make perfect letters.”
