Harvard University covered up a high-level investigation into whether its controversial president was a plagiarist — and used an expensive law firm to threaten The Post over our own probe.
...
Harvard did not disclose that it had conducted a plagiarism investigation into its president Claudine Gay when she appeared before Congress last week.
...
Anne Williamson, of Miami University, Ohio, said she was “shocked” by the parallels to her work and one of Gay’s papers and said: “It does look like plagiarism to me.”
...
The 27 instances were in two academic papers published in two peer-reviewed journals between 2011 and 2017, and an article in an academic magazine in 1993.
The Post was sent the material anonymously and had conducted our own analysis before asking Harvard to comment on whether Gay had plagiarized or failed to properly cite other academics’ work. We have continued to investigate since.
...
Among the papers under scrutiny are 2017’s “A Room for One’s Own? The Partisan Allocation of Affordable Housing,” published in Urban Affairs Review and written while Gay was dean of social science at Harvard.
In the paper, Gay uses phrases which closely parallel ones in a 2011 paper by Anne Williamson, a professor of political science at the University of Miami in Ohio.
Williamson told The Post she was “angry” when she read the excerpts.
“It does look like plagiarism to me,” she said. “If they are going to do what they did, then I should be cited as a reference. My first reaction is shock. The second reaction is puzzlement. There was a way to draw from my paper. All she had to do is give me a credit.”

Worst case scenario for Gay is that she “steps down”, then gets a cushy high-paying position at some other liberal-run establishment.
It happens all the time. A liberal will fail spectacularly in some “important” position, then essentially get rewarded for it.
Harvard has not learned the lesson about holes: when you’re in one, stop digging. And persuade Gay to step down ‘to spend more time with her family’.
And if it destroys Harvard s reputation on the process?
Frankly, Scarlett, they don't give a damn.
Ain't nobody got time to gib creds!

Black version of “It’s Pat”
Rufo accuses Gay of plagiarizing her thesis by pulling material written by scholar Swain as well as material written by Lawrence Bobo and Franklin Gilliam, Richard Shingles, Susan Howell, and Deborah Fagan.
But it's apparently okay with Harvard's board.
When the president of Stanford got busted for plagiarism recently, he had to resign.

Race Card about to be played in 3..2..1..
Looks like she has the ultimate shields.
College student quoted in an article I cited once before:
“I just cannot understand how a student could allow himself to flunk out when all he has to do is cheat.”
The current term among college students is “contract cheating” which replaced essay mill or term paper mill around 2000.
As of 2020 60.8% of college students admitted to committing some form of cheating in surveys by the Int. Center for Academic Integrity as reported by Dr. Donald McCabe.
But paying for papers is done by an estimated 11%.
On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars for a professionally written essay or admission letter.
An incompetent, irresponsible, Jew Hating affirmative action hire is how they roll at Harvard these days. And they’re just super fine with that.

“Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?”
It must be the glasses.
She isn’t going anywhere.....checks all the right boxes.
woke hire who plagiarized, why does this not shock me
Is this part of an attempt to make Governor DeSantis look bad?
Ron went to Harvard, I think.
All of a sudden those Harvard pedigrees don’t seem very impressive.
Real shame that the endowment is in the billions.
They just copied this coverup from other Ivy League schools.
