Hvad fik Harvard's præsident til at træde tilbage? Lær om de spændende detaljer her!
Harvard's præsident, Claudine Gay, trådte tilbage efter massiv modstand mod universitetets manglende diversitets-, ligheds- og inklusionspolitikker. Hedgefondschefen Bill Ackman gik til angreb med en 4000-ords rants mod Harvard's bestyrelse og krævede deres afgang. Den kontroversielle milliardær Elon Musk gik endnu skarpere til værks og udtalte, at DEI blot er et andet ord for racisme. Diskussionerne udløste en bølge af reaktioner og debat omkring magtstrukturen og politikkerne på det prestigefyldte universitet.
På en mere let note, Lake Superior State University frigav deres 'Banished Words List' for 2024, hvor 'cringe-worthy' ord som 'hack', 'rizz', og 'slay' blev bandlyst. Denne humoristiske tradition har fortsat i årtier og tilføjer et strejf af latter til sprogverdenen. På trods af de kontroversielle diskussioner omkring ord og politikker, er det tydeligt, at ord stadig har magt til at forme og ændre vores opfattelser og handlinger i verdenen.
