"For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison," the letter reads. "The apartheid regime is the only one to blame." Summers, who resigned as university president in 2006, previously served in both the Obama and Clinton administrations. He pointed to previous statements of support from Harvard University Monday, including flying a Ukrainian flag over Harvard Yard and issuing a statement in response to the murder of George Floyd.
"Instead, Harvard is being defined by the morally unconscionable statement apparently coming from two dozen student groups blaming all the violence on Israel," he said. "I am sickened. I cannot fathom the Administration's failure to disassociate the University and condemn this statement."
