Cambridge’s Problem of Hair By James Reed

     Shame on you, Cambridge University for not having enough special ethnic hairdressers to deal with the hairy joy of diversity; lift your game or be eternally whipped with the lash of racism:

“Black students are failing to apply to Cambridge because there is a lack of Afro-Caribbean hairdressers in the city, the university’s pro-vice-Chancellor has said. The “unexpected” finding arose during research into what deters black students from considering the institution, according to Professor Graham Virgo. Speaking at an event held at King’s College, Cambridge, he said this was one of the barriers that black students face in applying to the university. “We have been doing some quite detailed research, particularly with black students, particularly in London, looking at obstacles to applying to Cambridge and thinking about Cambridge. And number three on the list was hairdressers,” he said. Prof Virgo, who is a QC and expert in criminal law as well as Cambridge’s senior pro-vice-Chancellor for education, said this revelation sent a “really important” message to the university.”

     Indeed it is. So, the university needs to divert funds away from trivial pursuits like medicine and physics, and direct such funds to more important areas such as ethnic hairdressers. Personally, I see this as yet another reason to close the universities down, and perhaps create entire business parks devoted to the service of hair care. At least good old Harvard University is right into the spirit of things, having graduate ceremonies for illegal migrants:

“A special graduation ceremony was hosted at Harvard University on Wednesday for illegal immigrants titled “UndocuGraduation.” The ceremony, a first of its kind at Harvard, included a speech by a professor arrested while protesting President Donald Trump. The graduation ceremony — dubbed “UndocuGraduation” — was hosted at Harvard on Wednesday to celebrate illegal immigrant graduates, according to a report by The Harvard Crimson, which added that one of the ceremony’s guest speakers was history professor Kirsten Weld, who had been arrested in 2017 while protesting President Trump. The professor had been one of the thirty-one Harvard professors arrested in the fall of 2017 for blocking traffic during a protest of the president’s decision to repeal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

“The road to being whoever you want to be and figuring out what that means has been longer,” said Weld, “and it’s been more winding for you than it has been for many of your peers at the College and at the graduate schools here at Harvard — and I think that’s really what we’re recognizing here today.” Along with professor Weld, the illegal immigrant graduation ceremony also included former Act on a Dream director, Pierre R. Berastain, Harvard Financial Aid Initiative director Michael Esposito, and Harvard custodian and Temporary Protected Status coalition organizer Doris Reina-Landaverde, as guest speakers. The “UndocuGraduation” ceremony was brought to the school by the “Act on a Dream” student group, which seeks to push Harvard administrators to increase the school’s support for illegal immigrant students and advocate for legislative measures designed to abolish ICE, according to the group’s website.

“The event was organized to highlight the struggles and the ways in which undocumented students persevere on this campus,” said Act on a Dream co-director Emily A. Romero, according to The Harvard Crimson, “This campus can be very difficult to navigate, yet here are so many people who came out at the end of this tunnel as better individuals than how they entered it.” Salvadoran-American poet and activist Javier Zamora was reportedly present as the event’s keynote speaker, where he told the graduating students that “nobody, not this institution, not this president” could have anticipated the accomplishments of illegal immigrants. “And that’s their lack of imagination,” added Zamora, “That’s their lack of dream.”

     Hey Donald, if you still have any juice left, how about cutting their funds?
