Claudine Gay Hit With a Bevy of New Plagiarism Charges, Harvard University Ducks and Covers

Embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay has been hit with a bevy of fresh plagiarism charges according to a new exclusive report

Gay first found herself facing controversy after she refused to say if calls for genocide against Jews violated her school's code of conduct. The now-former president of the University of Pennsylvania similarly waffled and ended up resigning. Harvard stood by Gay, though, giving her a vote of confidence. 

Shortly after that, multiple examples of plagiarism committed by Gay emerged, but again, Harvard stood by her, putting out a ridiculous response to the scandal. Now, things are going from bad to worse for the once-respected university as six new charges of plagiarism have been leveled.

Exclusive @FreeBeacon: Claudine Gay hit with six new charges of plagiarism. Harvard did not respond to a request for comment. The allegations extend into an eighth of Gay's 17 published works -

Harvard University president Claudine Gay was hit with six additional allegations of plagiarism on Monday in a complaint filed with the university, breathing fresh life into a scandal that has embroiled her nascent presidency and pushing the total number of allegations near 50. 

Seven of Gay’s 17 published works have already been impacted by the scandal, but the new charges, which have not been previously reported, extend into an eighth: In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.  

This latest news means that of Gay's 17 published works, nearly half of them include examples of blatant plagiarism. As noted above, in one case, she stole almost "half a page of material verbatim from a political science professor from Wisconsin.

When asked for comment, Harvard decided to duck and cover. They didn't respond, apparently believing that if they just keep ignoring this massive scandal, it'll all blow over. Perhaps they're right given the protection that Gay's intersectionality provides, but they shouldn't be. 

It is absurd to think that a serial plagiarizer would be allowed to remain at the head of what most consider to the America's most prestigious university. If Harvard won't take action willingly, then the alumni of the school, who keep it flush with donations, need to put their foot down. This situation is a total embarrassment not just for Harvard, but for higher education as a whole.

Being intersectional should not save Gay. She should be fired, and just about anyone else who didn't check the boxes she checks would have been.

Very clever, leaning right. You made me laugh …

Can I quote you?

I think there could be an almost boundless number of historical quotes Dr Gay could usurp. She seems to be very adept at stealing other’s work.

Harvard gained a solid reputation for excellence over hundreds of years. And that reputation is being thrown away for nothing?

What fools...

Elected president of Harvard through DEI.. Democratic Enabled Idiots.

Imagine getting a lawyer who has no merit but complies with a DEI woke agenda, identifies as a non binary they/them of color.

Like all Democrats now, they’ve gotten away with so much they now feel they can say and do anything and get away with it...

Does anyone have a Harvard Student Handbook that might spell out the consequences to a student for plagiarism? It could be a simple, powerful tool.

“I can say this is just the beginning.”

Get ready to partee.

There are probably thousands of affirmative action fakers out there just waiting to get caught.

Since they will plagiarize each other I can save them some time.

The proper defense:

“I dindu nothink!”

I have a copy of the handbook here.

“Plagiarism is acceptable behavior for the Royal Black Family.”

Here you go

https://handbook.college.harvard.edu/sites/projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/collegehandbook/files/harvard_college_student_handbook_2023-2024.pdf

Page 35

First line:
“It is expected that all homework assignments, projects, lab reports, papers, theses, and
examinations and any other work submitted for academic credit will be the student’s own.”

Last paragraph:

“Students who, for whatever reason, submit work either not their own or without clear attribution
to its sources will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including requirement to withdraw
from the College. Students who have been found responsible for any violation of these
standards will not be permitted to submit a course evaluation of the course in which the
infraction occurred.”

“Harvard President Claudine Gay should go on vacation and write about her “Roots”....”

If she gets into any more trouble we will find out that all along she has been a sharecroppers daughter.

Grew up very poor in a segregated town. Let her alone.

Gay’s opening paragraph on her doctoral thesis on race is raising eyebrows:

Mary had a little lamb
It’s fleece was black as coal, yeah
Everywhere the child went
That little lamb was sure to go, yeah

Harvard Corporation named her and Board of Overseers approved. It was barely a year ago. Same people as now.

Guess that means there's lots of fakes, frauds and lowlifes working at Harvard. How disappointing - their 'elites' are scum.
