“The quality of the institution would be so much better and that’s what I want, because we need high-quality universities. Right now, the problem is we don’t have them.”

Vice President JD Vance slammed Harvard University on Tuesday and said that the Ivy League institution was lacking “ideological diversity” and likened its political environment to that of North Korea, according to Fox News.

Speaking at the New World Gala hosted by American Compass in Washington, DC, Vance said he believes around 95 percent of Harvard’s faculty voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the last presidential election. He added that universities across the country have become “almost quasi-theocratic, or quasi-totalitarian societies.”

“If you ask yourself, a foreign election, a foreign country’s election, you say 80% of the people voted for one candidate, you would say, ‘Oh, that’s kind of weird, right? That’s like, not a super healthy democracy,’” Vance explained. “If you said, ‘Oh, 95% of people voted for one party’s candidate,’ you would say, ‘That’s North Korea, right… That is impossible in a true place of free exchange for that to happen.'”
