How is the world can an ivy league institution such as Harvard seek to hire a university president and NOT do the most basic of vetting of her qualifications? They reasonably should have researched all of her academic publications.

They have so many “researchers” these surely they could assigned some Ph.D. wannabees to do the legwork. This screams that she was only a virtue signaling EoE hire whose qualifications were never even glanced at.

Here’s an interesting thought.

What if she plagiarized from MLK, Jr.’s plagiarized dissertation?

Is that double plagiarism?

Who cares?

She’ll spend a little time at a think tank or non-profit, complete her time out and then back into the liberal job fair scam for another high paying position somewhere.

And as usual, the travesty is that she was allowed to “resign”. Had she not been a fellow leftist in “good” standing... she would have been fired immediately, Another example of that ssdd double standard.

BREAKING NEWS Claudine Gay QUITS as Harvard President and fails to mention her denial of antisemitism and plagiarism in sour resignation letter - and says she has been the victim of racism

In her email today, Gay complained: ‘It has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor—two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am—and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.’

She said it was with a ‘heavy heart’ that she was standing down, but confirmed she would retain some kind of role at the school.

‘I believe we have within us all that we need to heal from this period of tension and division and to emerge stronger.

‘I had hoped with all my heart to lead us on that journey, in partnership with all of you.

‘As I now return to the faculty, and to the scholarship and teaching that are the lifeblood of what we do, I pledge to continue working alongside you to build the community we all deserve,’ she said.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Not a real resignation. She was just demoted, as she says. She will be staying at Harvard. She still has a high paying gig there.

Surely you jest. Look back in time. When, if ever, have the Marxists ever bothered to “vet” one of their own? (See: Barack Hussein Obama)

One down...

That's two down.

U Penn prez went down already.

The only one left of the three grilled by Elise Stefanik is MIT prez Dr Sally Kornbluth.

Gay is playing the “I’m the victim here” card in addition to the race and gender cards.

“Damn those rascally, racist Republicans for asking me such insulting easy questions!”

That’s true. Money is far more important to the indoctrination centers previous known as educational establishments.

From her resignation speech:
"Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."

:-P

Gay is the Harvard Buffoon of Darkness. Gay and the Harvard Jackass Board of Overseers needs them some more clowning and insults on Twitter.

No way! It takes intelligence, initiative, and hard work to raise pigs. .

Not good enough. Just allowing hwr to rwsign is NOT good enough. Some board members and that woman MUST be put in prison for fiduciary malfeasance and plain old dishonesty. Something worse HAS to happen to all of them.
