«هارفارد» بين الغموض والاتهام.. الطلاب يتغيبون والأستاذ يطلق النار

A committee of faculty members at Harvard University has revealed a shocking report about the reality of university students who are significantly absent from classes, relying instead on watching recorded lectures rather than attending in person. The report indicated that students prefer to spend their time on extracurricular activities such as clubs and competitions, while successfully achieving high grades due to the significant inflation in assessments.

Culture of Fear and Silence

The report clarified that the fear of expressing dissenting opinions within classrooms has led to weak discussions and a decline in the quality of academic dialogue, as many students feel compelled to align their views with those of the professors to avoid impacting their grades.

Measures to Address the Issue

In response, the university has begun taking steps to improve discussions within classrooms, such as implementing attendance, encouraging students to take notes by hand, and establishing rules to ensure the privacy of ideas exchanged in class.

Controversial Incident

In a notable development, the university administration placed a visiting professor at Harvard Law School on administrative leave after he fired a rifle near a synagogue during one of the Jewish holidays. The police stated that the professor was attempting to hunt rats, and that the incident was not motivated by anti-Semitism, despite the heightened tensions recently due to increased anti-Semitic violence.

Mixed Reactions

The incident has drawn the attention of government officials and ignited a wide debate about the safety of religious places and how to handle incidents occurring in university surroundings.

University Challenges

While Harvard University struggles to reform the culture of attendance and discussion within classrooms, it also faces challenges in maintaining the safety of its academic and religious environment amid rising societal and political pressures.
