Now that Claudine Gay is out as president at Harvard after a plagiarism scandal, will Barack Obama become the university's next president?
Here's what's being bruited about in the media, according to the Daily Mail:
Barack Obama has been touted as a contender for the next president of Harvard after the resignation by Claudine Gay due to an anti-Semitism and plagiarism scandal.
The former president, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991, may be a candidate for the position - and he wouldn't be the first ex-POTUS to take charge of an elite college.
Alan M. Garber is currently the interim president of Harvard, but the institution is understood to still be weighing up its options for a permanent replacement for Gay.
Harvard University - who has not named any candidates yet - said the search for a new leader 'will include broad engagement and consultation with the Harvard community in the time ahead.'
Discussions over who should take over Gay have swirled on social media, with names such as Deval Patrick, Danielle Allen, and Barack Obama's popping up, according to the Boston Globe.
The Boston Globe article they cited had this:
On social media, a few suggestions have begun circulating, including Deval Patrick, a former two-term Massachusetts governor, and Danielle Allen, a former Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate and a professor of political philosophy, ethics, and public policy at Harvard. Barack Obama’s name has come up, too.
Gay’s interim replacement, Alan Garber, a Harvard physician and economist, could be considered as well, due to his experience as the college’s provost for the past 12 years.
...and...
Obama and Garber did not respond to requests for comment. Putnam, who knows Obama, said he doubted the former president would take the job.

If they were smart they’d try to hire Condi Rice, someone who checks all the same boxes as Gay (except not Marxist), and who actually wrote her own stuff. But it won’t be BHO, he’s going to be too busy getting involved in the who-replaced-Joe circus.
Probably a great idea. Keep Obama so busy screwing up Harvard he won’t have time for broader mischief.
“Danielle Allen, a professor of political philosophy, ethics, and public policy at Harvard”
Translation: She it a propagandist of anti-white hate for the New Reich.
If Rice’s name was brought up, you can be certain that the usual suspects will start a huge project combing through her past writings to find any minute instance of “plagiarism”
But how do you go from “We stand against plagiarism” to “We hired someone who faked his birth certificate.”
After he serves his 4th term.
That sounds like work. Barry don’t like to work.
Apparently neither does vacation Joe, he doesn't even talk to his secretary of defense apparently, and that's with our involvement in two regional wars.
Obama , LOL , no one even knows who he is
It wasn't him who faked his birth certificate. It was one of his minions, so his hands are clean. And articulate.
RE: Obama , LOL , no one even knows who he is
They SHOULD. He is the REAL President of the United States today, pulling the strings behind the puppet named Joe. This is in effect, his THIRD term.
“It wasn’t him who faked his birth certificate.”
Obama talks endlessly until integrity is required.
Then he sits down and shuts up....
Interesting story about Alan Garber: While he was completing his PhD in Econ at Harvard, he enrolled in Stanford Medical School and got his MD in his spare time.
What's that all about?
You think he would spend a day at wotk in Harvard?
Did he get his Social Security number from someone who died at his wife’s mother’s boarding house ?
Except his hands are the dirtiest of them all.
Obama did everything knowingly.
How can a digital .pdf version of a supposed photocopy one’s long-form birth certificate have separable layers?
As much as it pains the Marxist Democrat Harvard Board, the only way they are going to pull Harvard’s reputation up out of the septic tank it’s in is to hire someone whose meritocracy, no plagiarism credentials are iron clad.
That means no skin color hires, no gender hires, no dysphoria hires, no sexual preference hires.
And, in reality, all the above credentials mean they will most likely just have to hire a white guy and wait another century on the other bs.
That’s storybook, man!
