Dr. Claudine Gay, current President of Harvard University, is one lucky woman or, as she might describe herself a “a lucky woman of color.” She first survived her dreadful testimony before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where she refused to unambiguously denounce calls from Harvard students and faculty to kill all Israeli Jews. It was an embarrassing performance filled with weasel words and amorphous defenses such as “it all depends on context” as if genocide might be legitimate in some circumstances.
Gay’s second lucky break was to survive clear-cut evidence that she was a career plagiarist, and this scholarly dishonesty far exceeded inadvertent sloppiness. Side-by-side comparisons of Gay’s writings with the published work of others displayed smoking-gun proof, and the official Harvard definition of “plagiarism” offered zero wiggle room due to substituting a new word or two for the original. No student or faculty member of Harvard could possibly accept Gay’s excuses and, ironically, as a Harvard dean Gay had presided over the expulsion of 27 undergraduates for plagiarism. Predictably, she denied everything: “I stand by the integrity of my scholarship,” she wrote. “Throughout my career, I have worked to ensure my scholarship adheres to the highest academic standards.” Keep in mind the former Harvard president Larry Summers suffered defenestration for merely opining that men and woman differed in mathematical abilities.
But, once again, luck was with her. The Harvard Corporation, Harvard’s governing body, praised her work (blatant plagiarism was referred to as “a few instances of inadequate citations), 700 faculty members signed a letter of support, and a group of former Harvard presidents proclaimed, “As former Presidents of Harvard University, we offer our strong support for Claudine Gay as she leads Harvard into the future....

LOL, the future Sheepskins will bear the herald “Plagiarvard”.
LOL
She will be ended if and when the wealthy alumni decide. They are the real power in academia.
Your President is a plagiarizer. So the door’s wide open.
Harvard has destroyed itself.
LOL! True.
What a delightful thought, one I hope is true.
Harvard:
Fire the serial plagiarist and all-around incompetent Claudine Gay!
Dump Penny Pritzker!
Reinstate all faculty, applicant students, and others dumped by the vicious tyrant Claudine Gay!
Expel all Palestinian students, and fire all Palestinian faculty and employees!
Make Hopi Hoekstra—the current Dean of Arts and Sciences and a natural scientist—the new Harvard president!
These steps will restore integrity and peace to Harvard!
One more thing:
Accept no money from Qatar! (It is Qatari money that requires Harvard to accept Palestinians, especially Hamas supporters!)
Systemic racism is allowed, and even encouraged for black folks. This is just one of many examples how black folks get preferential treatment. But the “white supremacists” are guilty of ‘racism’ simply for being white?
Claudine Gay cheated and is in a high paid job.
This will only encourage others from following her and sen Elizabeth Warren who claimed she is an indian. Her cheating kept a qualified person out of Harvard.
This kinda makes you wonder if Harvard ever really did have “academically rigorous standards” or if that was just for poor white folks they didn’t like anyway.
