West accused the university of spiritual rot. How sad it is to see our beloved Harvard Divinity School in such decline and decay, he wrote in a letter. The disarray of a scattered curriculum, the disenchantment of talented yet deferential faculty, and the disorientation of precious students loom large.

West, graduated from Harvard and earned a PhD in philosophy from Princeton University, and taught at Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Union Theological Seminary over the years. In 2002 he left the school after a public dispute with Harvard s then-President Lawrence Summers, but rejoined in 2017.
