In addition to its leftist bias , its throbbing arrogance, and its incompetence as the supposed role model for American higher education, Harvard also lacks courage. The latest example is that the school recently removed Gregory K. Davis as Dunster House “resident dean” and sent him packing “immediately.”

Why? Trump Deranged, hysterically woke and anti-white tweets from the George Floyd freak-out and before, that’s why.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as the Resident Dean for Dunster,” Davis wrote. “I will miss my work with students and staff immensely.” Davis was appointed to the role in 2024 when Harvard’s DEI mania, exemplified by its disastrous selection of black, female Claudine Gay as its president despite her slim qualifications (besides being “historic.”) Dean Davis was plunged into controversy in October 2025 when Yardreport, a new anti-Harvard news aggregator, dug up old social media posts in which Davis advocated violence and looting at protests while making inflammatory statements about police and President Donald Trump.

In a 2020 thread on X, for example, Davis wrote that he would not fault individuals who wished harm upon Trump and attached a meme that stated, “If he dies, he dies.” In other posts, Davis characterized “rioting and looting” as part of a democratic process and called police officers “racist and evil.” Yardreport concluded that Davis was biased against “white people, police, Republicans, and President Trump” and called on Harvard to fire him immediately.

So Harvard did.

That decision reinforces everything I, conservatives and Donald Trump have been saying about Harvard and elite universities for years. Too frequently, all that mattered (matters?) to these schools is whether an administrator is marginally qualified, sufficiently progressive, and checks the right demographic boxes. As with Gay, other qualities that Harvard should have been concerned about in the vetting process were exposed to public scrutiny, and the school had no defense at all. It then defaulted to “Oopsie! Never mind!”

In saying that I’m defending Davis, then, I do not question that Harvard was foolish, irresponsible and lazy to appoint him in the first place. Maybe a better description is that I feel sorry for Davis. Now his character and reputation is being scarred because he will carry around the stigma of being summarily fired by Harvard from a rocking chair position for having the same attitudes that helped get him the job in the first place. I read Harvard’s alumni magazine, and for months it has been trying to get contributions by posing as a brave, defiant champion of academic freedom that refuses to “bend a knee” to the fascist dictator, then it does this. Davis is such a marginal figure that even the President wouldn’t waste time attacking him.

I bet that a disturbing proportion of Harvard’s faculty, administration and woke-programmed students agreed with Davis’s dumb tweets when he made them and do now.

Let me enlighten you regarding what the job of “resident dean” entails: babysitting students in the resident “houses,” which Harvard uses to chop up its student body into more manageable individual communities. I don’t know what the current stereotypes are, but, for example, Adams (named after John) was the radical house, Winthrop was the “jock” house, and Lowell, where I resided for three years, was the conservative house, remembering that “conservative” when I was an undergrad meant not having group sex with Cliffies, only getting stoned three days a week, and not demonstrating against ROTC on campus. What Harvard now calls “deans” were then called “House Masters,” but, see, that triggered black students as the Great Stupid began to spread over the land, so the position was re-named “resident dean.” The “deans” give periodic teas for the house residents, smile at everyone, and oversee house activities. The political views of these people don’t affect the students at all unless a dean gets way, way out of his metaphorical lane. However, when I was a student, the post was typically filled by a distinguished professor of some note whom a resident student would benefit from knowing and having access to for advice and counsel. Gregory Davis is only a doctoral student in African American Studies. Like Gay, he wasn’t qualified for the job Harvard gave him.

Following his outing as a typical Democrat during the 2016 Post Election Ethics Train Wreck and the George Floyd Freak-out, Davis grovelled regret for his posts, emphasized respect for campus colleagues, including members of the Harvard University Police Department. He also invoked the Demon Pazuzu, saying that those sentiments of just six or fewer years ago didn’t accurately reflect his current beliefs.

Okay, I might have fired him for that. As long was he wasn’t using his position to urge students to support Hamas and open borders, however, a brief investigation and assurances from Davis that he wasn’t trying to radicalize students should have been enough to keep him in his job. He did need to assure Harvard that he wouldn’t publish any more inflammatory opinions.

Now everything is spinning out of control for Davis. Nirisi Angulo, Davis’s wife, has gone full Little Match Girl. She set up a GoFundMe after her husband was kicked out of Dunster House. ‘This sudden and unplanned upheaval has left us scrambling to find a safe home for our family amidst the harsh winter months,’ wrote Angulo. ‘We have a beloved five-year-old daughter who is thriving in her current school, and a newborn son, whom we named Dean Davis because my husband’s role as a Dean meant so much to him.” She added that there is no extended family to lean on as the Davises struggle financially after her difficult pregnancy and several miscarriages.

Your generosity will allow us to find a new home, cover moving expenses, and take the necessary steps to rebuild after this unplanned transition,’ wrote Davis’s wife. “My husband would never ask for help himself, but as a mother and wife, I know how much your kindness would mean to him and our family.

As of this week, the web fundraiser had attracted $300 in donations toward its $22,000 goal. 

A GoFundMe campaign for the jerk who the President flipped off this week has already raised over $800,000 dollars.

As an aside, I will state that if you want a quick definition of “Trump Deranged,” giving money to a guy just because the President gave him a middle finger is a solid starting place.
