Well, it happened.
Harvard's board voted 'yes' on keeping Claudine Gay as president of the university, despite her incredible failure to unequivocably condemn antisemitism on campus before Congress and the subsequent revelations that she apparently plagiarized some of her own academic work from others.
According to the New York Times:
Claudine Gay will stay on as president of Harvard University, the school’s governing board announced on Tuesday, despite an uproar over her evasive answers at a congressional hearing about campus antisemitism.
The members of the board, the Harvard Corporation, deliberated into the night on Monday before finally deciding not to remove Dr. Gay, the university’s first Black president, from her post.
“As members of the Harvard Corporation, we today reaffirm our support for President Gay’s continued leadership of Harvard University,” said a statement signed by all of the board members other than Dr. Gay. “Our extensive deliberations affirm our confidence that President Gay is the right leader to help our community heal and to address the very serious societal issues we are facing.”
The statement goes on, however, to acknowledge that Dr. Gay had made mistakes, including in her initial reaction to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel. “So many people have suffered tremendous damage and pain because of Hamas’s brutal terrorist attack, and the University’s initial statement should have been an immediate, direct, and unequivocal condemnation,” the statement said.
Well, it wasn't. And the freaks now run wild at Harvard, something that hasn't happened in recent years until Gay, who's a DEI enthusiast, came onboard.
Once again, the antisemites can rest easy and feel "affirmed" and good about themselves now that Gay is going to stay. As for the Harvard Jewish students who feel just a little threatened, well, now they have some lip service, but of course, it's only that.

So this is Harvard, eh?
I wouldn’t send my dog there to learn how to pee on a tree
Hardly.
It's worth almost a billion over a lifetime, WITH power to rule by decree that grows as you age, and brings all the sex that goes with both until you are on the wrong side of the grass.
Calling it worthless is just not telling the truth. Why do you think the competition for the acceptance letter is so fierce?
After you get it, looks like you are guaranteed a 3.7-4.0 GPA, plagiarism not a problem, direct entry into the Administrative State or Intelligence Agencies at age 22 (or 25 if you go directly to a top 7 law school, which your acceptance letter also guarantees), and eventual lifetime Federal judgeship if you get bored with administration.
Unless you commit suicide, die of a drug overdose, or are killed in a robbery (much less likely in Cambridge than New Haven), you basically are set for life at age 18, unless the ruling structures of the American Deep State somehow disappear.
It doesn't matter about that.
It's the acceptance letter that's valuable. Nothing that happens after that arrives changes anything very much.
I expect she will leave Harvard once everything settles down. When it won’t look she’s being fired for putting Harvard in the news over something they probably don’t want to be in the news for.
Perhaps, now, liberal Jews (99% of all Jews) will be able to see that liberals are not their friend.
“Calling it worthless is just not telling the truth. Why do you think the competition for the acceptance letter is so fierce?”
This is correct.
For anyone who wants to be part of the USA ruling elite, an Ivy League degree is a requirement.
The decline of academic standards etc. is irrelevant. Supporting nonsense shows that they are Regime loyalists.
That’s what Gay did. She made herself a fool, but she showed absolute loyalty to the Regime. And she doesn’t get fired.
Say there are fewer women in STEM at Harvard because there are fewer women entering STEM subjects bc of lower interest and you’re a white male, that’s a firing.
Commit academic fraud and display your anti-jew / pro-terrorist views as Harvard official policy and your a lesbo black, that’s cool. In fact, you’re a homophobic racist for bringing it up.
And the American Jews clap along.
Well, what did you expect. She’s a double affirmative hire - a black and a woman.
The one that resigned at Penn was just a single affirmative hire - a white woman.
The plagiarist, cowardly, DEI-affirming, and non-scholarly Claudine Gay is a BIG disgrace to Harvard—or at least to what Harvard used to be!!!!
Yes, I am a Harvard alum—who produced an oversized, non-plagiarized science Ph.D. thesis, based on original laboratory research!!
Now the faculty members who signed that petition supporting Gay say that alumni like me should have NO VOICE in who is Harvard president! Since the faculty petition is not available online, I have no idea who signed that cracked petition.
I hope that donations to Harvard fall precipitously, with big donors refusing to give until Gay is fired! And any Harvard student or faculty member who supports the baby-killers of Hamas must be expelled as well.
This is beyond antisemitism—if you support the murder of innocents, you deserve to be canned!!
proving once again that the head of a festering pimple isn’t the entire pimple.
Harvard and the Woke system encouraged her plagiarism and looked the other way when necessary.
As Dr. Carol Swain has said, Gay's whole career is based on fraud.
Harvard has inflicted a huge amount of damage on black America by promoting this incompetent fraud. Gay apparently doesn't give a damn whether she hurts her people or not. She just wants the money and position.
I’d imagine any Harvard undergrad who gets busted for plagiarism on a term paper can now have lots of fun during a disciplinary hearing - heck, in that situation they should call as a witness for their defense the university president to explain how easy it is to overlook silly little things like attributions and quotation marks when you’re busy working on the pursuit of your academic career.
Communists are successful because they stick together regardless of the mistakes one of their own makes...
The feckless GOP, on the other hand, crucifies any member who burps in public...
No wonder the communists own this country completely and, probably, permanently...
Jews are grieving their political predicament. They are in the denial phase, next the bargaining phase.
Just think how EVIL the Board is!
Harvard supports genocide.
