Harvard cannot fire embattled President Claudine Gay because it risks undermining the "entire diversity enterprise," the Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley argued in his opinion column on Wednesday.
Harvard's top governing body has stood by Gay following intense backlash to controversial comments she made about antisemitism ... and accusations she plagiarized...
... Gay and University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill were "guilty of indulging antisemitism on campus," but faced different fates...
"You don’t need a Harvard degree to understand that Ms. Gay, the school’s first Black president, advances the diversity imperatives of her institution in ways that Ms. Magill, who is White, doesn’t" ...
"Anyone suggesting that Ms. Gay deserves the same treatment as Ms. Magill stands accused of racism by liberal elites who maintain that all Black people not named Clarence Thomas are off-limits to criticism," the Black conservative columnist argued.
...Gay's defenders for [behave] ... as though her academic qualifications earned her the top position at the elite school and it "had nothing to do with race."
"That’s baloney and they know it," he wrote.
...
"The truth is that Ms. Gay’s defenders don’t want to acknowledge that her administrative experience and scholarly credentials don’t begin to match those of other people in similar posts," he claimed.
...
After speaking with top faculty at the university, Ackman wrote on X, "It is abundantly clear that straight White males are discriminated against in recruitment and advancement at Harvard."
...
"Harvard’s dilemma illustrates a broader practical problem with racial-preference policies. Once you lower standards for hiring administrators or admitting students, you are forced to lower standards for evaluating their conduct and performance.

I have to say that the title nails it perfectly.
Yep.
“and accusations she plagiarized”
Plagiarized who? Hitler?
I don’t have the details of my fingertips, but she’s accused of repeated plagiarism. She’s been given a pass on it because she’s African-American, funny thing is the victim is as well.
how can you expect to hold someone to standards that weren’t applied when they got the job?
More information on ther plagiarism :
Thank you for posting the link!
“Other cases of possible plagiarism—all from Gay’s dissertation—were uncovered Sunday by the Manhattan Institute’s Rufo and Karlstack’s Brunet. Though the revelations are new, rumors of Gay’s plagiarism have been circulating on econjobrumors.com, a popular message board for social scientists, since at least January 2023.”
. “The plagiarist is breaking the trust of the community of readers. In the case of scholarship, the whole university community is the victim.”

Formal complaint with examples (37 page complaint)

YW.. the pdf file on the above post is a formal complaint with examples too
Dr. Carol Swain, a black professor, for one.
Because the lowering of standards is what it’s all about.
Jews and Asians should remove any support of the racist Harvard and other Ivy League .
Let’s see if they actually hold their financial feet to the fire.
It’s the only thing Harvard values anymore.
Harvard University President Claudine Gay was reported to have acted to expel many students from Harvard for plagiarism.
I would like to know if any of those she expelled were black.
If stealing elections is OK I fail to see what is wrong with a little plagiarism here and there...
We got to do some “social justice” and all.
;-)
Reference is made to Harvard’s “Research Integrity Officer.” So the woke school assigns research integrity to one person. I shudder to think what kind of person is chosen for this
politically correct position. This title sounds just like that chilling coinage, “Affirmative Action Officer,” which cam on the scene about 50 years ago - as a way to have lower or no standards for people with a bit more melanin in their skin than others at the university, but a deluge less of academic ability and achievement. Research Integrity is everyone’s business at a university - not just one person, who is given a broom to sweep cheating under the rug. If the academic integrity officer says that this or that cheating is nont cheating, then the case is closed.
If I were an employer, I would NEVER hire a Harvard grad.
EVER.
Their entire school supports LYING, THIEVERY AND PLAGIARISM.
I would expect that from EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. associated with that school and make sure they are NEVER EMPLOYED BY ME.
The stench coats everyone still employed there or attending as a student.
There is not one thing that liberals have touched that they haven’t destroyed.
I used to be in awe of that school but now don’t want to hear anything about it for the rest of my life. Such a disgrace and they have doubled down on keeping that ilk.
heard Dr. Swain on a radio program yesterday and SHE was pissed about her work being ripped off by the Harvard president. sounded almost like she wanted to use descriptive words and phrases that are NOT radio friendly.
It gets even better. She plagiarized another black woman, Dr. Carol Swain.
