Gregory Davis had a pretty sweet gig. Resident dean at Harvard’s Dunster House. Responsible for student welfare. Supposedly committed to being “open and inclusive.”

Then his old tweets resurfaced. And suddenly Harvard discovered that wishing death on the President and ranting about “whiteness” might not be the best look for someone mentoring students.

Davis is out. His X account is deleted. And Harvard is pretending this never happened.

The Greatest Hits

Let’s review what Gregory Davis thought was appropriate to post publicly while serving as a Harvard administrator.

On police: A reminder “to love each other and hate the police.”

On Trump getting COVID in 2020: He shared a meme saying “If he dies, he dies.”

On white people: “It’s almost like Whiteness is a self-destructive ideology that annihilates everyone around it. By design.”

On the 2020 BLM riots: “Rioting and looting are parts of democracy just like voting and marching. The People WILL be heard.”

This wasn’t some anonymous troll account. This was a Harvard dean posting under his own name while being paid to support students of all backgrounds.

“Open and Inclusive”

The delicious irony is that Davis claimed to run an “open and inclusive” residential community.

Open and inclusive — unless you’re white. Or conservative. Or a police officer. Or someone who didn’t want the President to die from a respiratory illness.

For those people, Gregory Davis had nothing but contempt. Posted publicly. For years. While Harvard paid his salary and trusted him with student welfare.

Imagine being a conservative student at Dunster House, knowing your dean had publicly wished death on the President you supported. Imagine being the child of a police officer, knowing your dean told people to “hate the police.”

That’s Harvard’s version of “inclusive.”

The Timeline Tells the Story

Davis posted this garbage from 2016 to 2021. Five years of public hatred toward police, white people, and conservatives.

Harvard either didn’t notice, didn’t care, or actively approved.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reported on Davis’s posts back in October. By that point, Davis had already set his account to private — the classic move when your old posts become inconvenient.

But the screenshots were already out there. The receipts were collected. And Harvard finally had to act.

Not because they thought Davis was wrong. But because they got caught.

The Riot Endorsement

Let’s spend a moment on Davis’s 2020 claim that “rioting and looting are parts of democracy just like voting and marching.”

This wasn’t some abstract philosophical musing. This was posted during the summer when American cities burned. When businesses were destroyed. When people died in violence that Davis apparently considered equivalent to casting a ballot.

A Harvard dean — someone responsible for teaching young people how to participate in society — told them that burning down a Target was just as valid as showing up to the polls.

And Harvard kept him employed for five more years.

The “Whiteness” Obsession

Davis’s posts about “whiteness” reveal the ideology that’s infected elite academia.

“It’s almost like Whiteness is a self-destructive ideology that annihilates everyone around it. By design.”

This isn’t analysis. This is racial animus dressed up in academic language. Imagine a dean posting that “Blackness” was a “self-destructive ideology.” They’d be fired within the hour and unemployable forever.

But hatred toward white people? That’s just critical theory. That’s sophisticated discourse. That’s what gets you promoted at Harvard.

Davis also claimed that “Black people do have a unique — and often authoritative — view on what is racist” and complained about “micro-aggressions” against “non-English names” as evidence of “white supremacy.”

This is a man who divided the world into racial categories and assigned moral worth based on skin color. And Harvard made him responsible for student life.

Why Now?

Davis got away with this for years. Why did Harvard finally act?

The Trump administration has been putting pressure on universities. Federal funding has been threatened. DEI programs are being scrutinized. The political protection that shielded people like Davis is evaporating.

Harvard isn’t firing Davis because they think he was wrong. They’re firing him because keeping him became more expensive than letting him go.

If Hillary Clinton had won in 2016, Davis would still be posting about “whiteness” and “hating the police” without consequence. The only thing that changed is who controls the federal government — and the funding spigot.

The Replacement

Harvard appointed Emilie Raymer as interim resident dean. No word yet on whether she’s publicly wished death on any presidents or endorsed rioting as democracy.

The bar is pretty low at this point.

The Bigger Problem

Gregory Davis isn’t an anomaly. He’s a symptom.

Elite universities are filled with administrators and professors who share his views. They just learned to be more careful about posting them publicly.

The ideology that “whiteness” is inherently destructive, that police should be hated, that rioting is legitimate political expression — this is mainstream thinking in academic circles. Davis’s only mistake was saying it out loud where normal people could see.

For every Gregory Davis who gets caught, there are dozens more who keep their social media clean while teaching the same ideas in classrooms and enforcing them in administrative decisions.

Firing one dean doesn’t fix Harvard. It just teaches the others to be more discreet.

The Student Perspective

Think about what Harvard students learned from Gregory Davis’s tenure.

They learned that hating police is acceptable — encouraged, even. They learned that “whiteness” is an evil to be denounced. They learned that political violence is just another form of democratic participation.

And they learned that expressing these views won’t cost you anything — at least not until the wrong people notice.

These students will graduate and move into positions of power throughout American society. They’ll bring Davis’s ideology with them. They’ll hire, fire, and promote based on the racial categories he taught them to worship.

One dean got fired. The damage he did continues.

What Accountability Looks Like

Harvard’s statement, such as it was, confirms only that “Gregory Davis is no longer serving” in his role.

No apology to the students he was supposed to serve impartially. No acknowledgment that his posts were wrong. No explanation for why he was allowed to remain in his position for years after posting this content.

Just a quiet removal and a hope that everyone moves on.

That’s not accountability. That’s damage control.

Real accountability would mean examining how Davis got hired in the first place. What vetting process approved someone with these views for a position mentoring students? Who else passed through the same process?

Harvard won’t ask those questions. The answers would be too embarrassing.

The Bottom Line

Gregory Davis is gone from Harvard. His deleted Twitter account suggests he knows he went too far.

But the ideology he represents isn’t going anywhere. The belief that America is fundamentally racist, that police are enemies, that political violence is justified, that “whiteness” is a disease — these ideas are the water elite universities swim in.

Davis just made the mistake of saying it where everyone could see.

The next Gregory Davis will be smarter. He’ll keep his real views private. He’ll say the right things in public while teaching the same poison behind closed doors.

And Harvard will keep cashing the tuition checks, producing graduates who believe exactly what Gregory Davis believed.

One dean fired. The factory keeps running.
