The secretive board called the Harvard Corporation that decided to retain Harvard president Claudine Gay after revelations about her repeated plagiarism had surfaced and she had made controversial statements about anti-Semitism on campus is facing increased pressure to address the problem more actively.
Two of the board members, nonprofit founder Tracy Palandjian and the private-equity executive Paul Finnegan, met with academics demanding they do more to counter the damage done to the school’s image after a growing number of donors said they were through with the school.
“You need to be more out front of this,” Jeff Flier, the former dean of Harvard Medical School, said he told the board members, according to The New York Times. “If people are saying the university is making mistakes — they are talking about you!”
Palandjian reportedly said replacing Gay was not enough, that the university required “generational change.”
Board member Penny Pritzker, who championed Gay’s hiring, served as secretary of commerce in the Barack Obama administration.
Although revelations of Gay’s plagiarism blew up in mid-December after her appearance before Congress about anti-Semitism on campus, the Times noted that the Harvard Corporation had been investigating Gay’s academic work since October after a New York Post reporter contacted the board with the allegations.
“Asked on Saturday whether the board would publicly reaffirm its support for Dr. Gay, the Harvard spokesman said the corporation had nothing to add beyond the Dec. 12 statement in support of Dr. Gay, which preceded the latest wave of plagiarism allegations,” The Times reported.

Harvard’s endowment is 10 billion $$$. Cut off contributions from alumni and they’ll just laugh,
Pritzker and Gay getting it on.

There’s the problem.
Harvard is in a nose dive and they cannot pull out. Harvard is going down to the bottom of the deep blue sea.
Ve - ri - tas
Criticize Gay all you want; she deserves it.
But don’t forget our primary mission is to cripple Harvard and other rotting elite universities - and to eliminate them since they are too far gone for rehabilitation.
The best way to do that is to keep the damaged Gay in charge and in a highly visible position. She is very polarizing although I suspect her keepers tell her she is loved by all.
If she goes away, Harvard will just hire another anti-American with a more PR skills. They certainly are not going to find someone with less.
We need to keep Gay at the helm to help us complete our agenda. Yay Gay!

Why does a secretive organization bankroll such a low IQ loser?
The endowment should be seized and shared with every white male in America as reparations for Harvard’s decades of hate.
When you appoint, endorse, and stand by a plagiarizing anti-Semitic academic fraud as the face of your institution, it does damage your image.
With WEF on speed dial?
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!!!
Penny Pritzker has also been appointed in charge of the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Hahvahd: “Yes we know she’s a lying incompetent affirmative action hire plagiarist. But she’s OUR lying incompetent affirmative action hire plagiarist!”
