Harvard’s president Claudine Gay accused of plagiarizing… Dr. Carol Swain?!

(Somebody get the popcorn—and quickly—because the show is about to start, and you won’t want to miss it.)

Yesterday, Christopher Rufo took to X and released bombshell evidence against Harvard’s current president Claudine Gay, accusing her of a serious infraction—but it had nothing to do with her refusal to expel the pro-Hamas students calling for the death of their Jewish counterparts (let alone condemn their actions), or the university’s scandalous hard-left policies… but Gay’s alleged plagiarism for her Ph.D dissertation. See the thread from Rufo below:

EXCLUSIVE: @RealChrisBrunet and I have obtained documentation demonstrating that Harvard President Claudine Gay plagiarized multiple sections of her Ph.D. thesis, violating Harvard's policies on academic integrity.

This is a bombshell. 🧵 — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) December 10, 2023

Rufo asks at his Substack, “Is Claudine Gay a Plagiarist?” Well from where I sit, I don’t see how she isn’t!

As Rufo also noted, Gay is a darling of the left, “touted as the first black woman” to run Harvard in its 368-year existence, but she’s been mired in scandal since the outset of her stint. Just a few days back, left-wing outlet The Daily Beast published Ameshia Cross’s anti-white diatribe attacking Bill Ackman, a billionaire businessman who claimed that someone with “firsthand knowledge” had told him the Harvard president search committee was only looking for a diversity hire. From Cross’s piece:

He [Ackman] went further, arguing that race, gender, and sexual orientation are ‘not the right approach’ for identifying the most qualified leaders for prestigious universities. And in a grotesque case of concern-trolling, Ackman added, ‘it is also not good for those awarded the office of president

Plagiarism accusations are racist. When non-whites take the writings of white people without asking, it's just an understandable redistribution of words, phrases, and punctuation.

You know, like verbal retribution.

Harvard’s first “black woman” president is a cheating, plagiarizing biatch. How appropriate. Now the brats are getting straight A grades just for pimpin’ the genocide of the Jews. That Cambridge “pub” (formerly known as Harvard University) is quite a joint. No wonder it’s drawing a lower level of students.

People need to realize the left created the DEI scam not for the stated purpose, but as a vehicle to get unqualified people into powerful positions. These selected people know they are unqualified and realize they are there as figureheads only to do the left’s bidding. It’s all just a control mechanism. Imagine the vast sums of money that run through and are controlled by these institutions, to say nothing of the indoctrination opportunities they present.

It is ( or in this case "It be" ) racist to apply white cultural norms to Dr. Gay.

African-Americans have long enjoyed a culture of openly sharing rather than selfishly hoarding property, children, ideas, answers to tests and graduate thesis.

From Wiki:

Gay's research addresses American political behavior, including voter turnout and politics of race and identity.

Not exactly a rigorous academic field, although she did get her bachelor's in economics from Stanford.

Plagiarism used to be a major no-no in college. Now it appears to be the norm.

Incompetence and stupidity doesn’t change in a person no matter what color their brain is wrapped in by skin.

Promoting morons solely because of their melanin doesn’t make the moron in them go away, and actually helps defeat whatever goal Affirmative Action seeks to accomplish by putting glaring stupidity on full display.

My communist older brother went to Stanford back in the 80s. He told me that after a student at Stanford committed suicide after getting a D in a class that Stanford quit giving out D’s. Stanford is just as bad as Harvard, an over, priced indoctrination camp for the rich idiots that go there.

I had a black supervisor who went on and on about the cleverness of the black remake of the old Karate Kid movie. Sho had no idea the idea wasn’t original.

What world do these people even live in???

I used to teach at a university, and it was a good salary. I did feel we way, way overcharged for our services and it only got worse over my 20 years there.

The only reason left to go to a prestigious school is the doors it will open for you from the rich and powerful—not anything you learned.
