Danilewitz is--including the co-chair of Harvard Students for Israel and another active member of Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel. We did not employ quotas in our selection of columnists, and we did not reject anyone because of his or her race, religion or gender. In fact, we increased the total number of columnists from 10 to 17, with the number of Jewish columnists rising from eight to 10 this semester.
