Not any more. Appointment rescinded.


"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

Well, apparently Harvard rediscovered "real" logic just in the nick of time. Manning got the word that the Fellowship had been rescinded in a phone call from Douglas Elmendorf, who is apparently the Dean of the Kennedy School at Harvard, just as Manning stepped off of the stage from accepting some participation award or another.

quote:

When Elmendorf reached Manning on the phone he sounded audibly nervous, the source said. He argued that Harvard had to "weigh" what each visiting fellow "brought to the table".

A member of Manning's support team (Eh? Those fake boobs aren't THAT big! - IC) challenged Elmendorf to explain why Harvard was so anxious about giving [Manning] the title of "visiting fellow" when in the same roster of this year's fellows they had included Sean Spicer, Donald Trump's former White House press secretary, and Trump's former presidential campaign manager Corey Landowski, who is charged with assaulting a reporter during the 2016 race.

They noted what they suggested was the absurdity of honoring two prominent members of a presidential campaign notorious for its bending of the truth and controversial stances on race issues in America.

Elmendorf further alienated the Manning team by responding that Spicer and Lewandoski "brought something to the table" and could teach the Harvard audience something. That, for the recipients of the phone conversation, implied that the whistleblower by contrast had nothing to contribute.

Which, oddly enough, I'm sure Manning didn't.

So Manning can go to Harvard, just not as a fellow… How ironic.

Apparently he can't go to Canada though:

Ah, those whacky Canadians and their consistently-held attitudes towards foreigners who've been convicted of felonies.

Yes it's ridiculous. In just a simple google search I couldn't find any article in the first page of results that didn't say "she."
