Greece's new minister of interior, former far-right activist Makis Voridis. Not "allegedly" and without a hint of exaggeration.

His past is wikipedia-level stuff
Voridis was violently anti-Semitic amongst other things
He is closely connected to the French Front Nationale, but in 2017 he tried to distance himself from them. BY CLAIMING THEY ARE ACTUALLY SOCIALISTS
To paraphrase Phillip K. Dick: the Golden Dawn lost, but the Nazis won
It's not even an isolated incident. More from my colleague here https://t.co/lOHGPSVgWC
That there are still people calling this administration "liberal" is truly beyond the pale
I wrote about all this here https://t.co/1If095HxBs
This piece by @dpatrikarakos also captures these tendencies very well https://t.co/5NmynknbsJ
This is what @haaretzcom wrote about Makis Voridis back in 2014 https://t.co/D6tgygtq0C
I hope people still following this fucking joke of an account feel a bit of shame

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
