According to her former management positions at the U.S. Defense Department and a security company that sold weaponry to Israel, a group of Harvard University students who are anti-Israel criticized the recent session of the school’s fresh vice chairman and general guidance.
Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine, or HOOP, hung a symbol stating,” War Criminals No Welcome Around” alongside the name of the new appointment, Jennifer O’Connor, who took the helm July 29, the Harvard Gazette reported.
The team also hung a subsequent symbol over the summer studying,” Harvard Funds Genocide”, according to photos posted on Instagram. O’Connor was criticized for her “lack of practice” in higher education and her previous position as general counsel for the Department of Defense in the message of the post.
” Monday, Harvard announced its appointment of Jennifer O’Connor as the new Vice President and general guidance of the university”, the Instagram post stated.
She is a perfect match at this responsible organization despite having no prior knowledge in higher learning. She was also a former Tech Law VP to Northrop Grumman and a former general guidance to the US Department of Defense.
O’Connor recently worked with the security firm Northrop Grumman, which has sold arms to Israel and worked with U.S. immigration officials, and claimed that Harvard and O’Connor are complicit in a “genocide” committed by Israel against Palestinians.
” At Northrop Grumman, she oversaw the rules of a company which sells weapons to the murderous Jewish regime, possesses one of the largest deals with ICE, and develops prejudiced biometric security technology”, the team’s post stated.
” As Harvard becomes accomplices in the death of over 40, 000 Palestinians in the continuing Gaza murder, a war crime in their case is no surprising”, it stated.
The College Fix has recently contacted HOOP, O’Connor, and Harvard media relations for opinion, but they have not.

O’Connor, according to The Harvard Crimson, will be tasked with leading Harvard’s legitimate finger as the school responds to a number of social hazards from Washington, including an ongoing collection of summons from Congress, despite the fact that she “does not had experience representing higher education institutions.”
Since the beginning of the Gaza War in October 2023, HOOP has engaged in anti-Israel engagement.
According to the Harvard Crimson, it was the major organization behind Harvard’s anti-Israel camp, which included houses set up on school as part of a larger movement at colleges and universities across the country to compel schools to ban Israel. The camp ended in May, immediately after it was created.
Some users of HOOP, which is not a recognized student business, were refused their Harvard levels at undergraduate following their role in the camp, according to Harvard Magazine.
O’Connor’s protest by HOOP is not the first by anti-Israel student organizations to fire faculty who do n’t support their causes.
An April complaint at Columbia called for Israeli Professor Shai Davidai’s withdrawal following his outcry against the attacks of October 7. Davidai was likewise essential of the school’s response to a wave of anti-Semitism on campus.
” Students are experiencing adjusted detest,” he said. There’s perfect indifference from the school management”, Davidai told The College Fix in a telephone appointment at the time.
Anti-Israel organizations at Pomona College called for President Gabrielle Starr’s departure following the arrest of the officers in a building where students were allegedly occupying the president’s office to protest the conflict in Gaza.
” As a supposed member of your organization, your conduct has been fascistic in character and absolutely disgusting. Should you have any pity for your do, you may withdraw, drop the charges made on students, and withdraw their suspensions immediately”, the school’s section of Students for Justice in Palestine said in an email.
