It is somewhat hypocritical. Curiously their school paper (or w.e.) recently posted a treatise [1] on free speech, including this bit: > We also believe that the essential definition of free speech has itself been twisted and clouded. Free speech only entails the right of every individual to “speak freely.” It does not give one the right to speak free of criticism or protest. It does not give one the right to say something which could reasonably be construed as inciting chaos or violence. It does not give one the right to any forum that one desires... Certain speakers do not deserve the platform Harvard University offers, especially when their rhetoric runs antithetical to the values we should all hold dear. Also many news outlets have mentioned this bit from their admissions policy: > the university reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission if the admitted student “engages or has engaged in behavior that brings into question their honesty, maturity or moral character,” One might claim their "speech" displays a lack of maturity and moral character and avoid a paradox.
