WASHINGTON (AP) — The downfall of Harvard’s president has elevated the threat of unearthing plagiarism, a cardinal sin in academia, as a possible new weapon in conservative attacks on higher education.
Claudine Gay’s resignation Tuesday followed weeks of mounting accusations that she lifted language from other scholars in her doctoral dissertation and journal articles. The allegations surfaced amid backlash over her congressional testimony about antisemitism on campus.
The plagiarism allegations came not from her academic peers but her political foes, led by conservatives who sought to oust Gay and put her career under intense scrutiny in hopes of finding a fatal flaw. Her detractors charged that Gay — who has a Ph.D. in government, was a professor at Harvard and Stanford and headed Harvard’s largest division before being promoted — got the top job in large part because she is a Black woman.

And she’s still getting $900K/year, annoying to an article a couple days ago. So much for consequences.
Weapon? Just wow, AP that weaponizes scandalous activity by covering it up for liberals and making it up for conservatives.
And everyone involved in hiring her, including every board member who approved it, needs to resign. She really is that bad. This episode has made it clear she was only hired for her female parts, skin color, and sexual preferences (which I assume align with her name).
pity.
Can we assume from this article that the author assumes that liberals regularly cheat?
A-Holes Pretending to be journalists (AP) -”only conservatives think plagiarism is a problem”
Except in the case of Melania Trump - remember this one?
AP = Always Progressive.
I too was in 11th grade in 1975 and experienced the exact same thing in my English class. My teacher, Mrs. Anderson, made dang sure her students understood the folly of plagiarism.
But yet when the left digs up a decade old video or recording of a Conservative saying something not politically correct in today’s world, apparently that is perfectly fine.
Leftist “black scholars” and plagiarism go together like a horse and buggy.
With AI the hunt is on!
The AP Style Guide is Deep State propaganda in action.
Black Schlors are like Black skiers and Black backpackers........ there aren’t any
Some years ago plagiarism did in Mike Barnicle of the Boston Globe/had radio show/ Imus in the morning regular IIRC.
Rival writer and talk host Howie Carr excitely kept repeating “Barnicle resigns!” in his radio studio
(Washington com-Post:”What can I do about that? I’m stupid and embarrassed.” Mike Barnicle said he never read the George Carlin book that contained 10 of the jokes in his column. )
The article is a reference guide to liberals on how to frame this incident in their minds.
That the whacko hard left is evidently so invested in stealing intellectual property that they’re terrified of being caught is hilarious beyond words.
The newest conservative weapon against flash mobs: Looting.
Yeah. Sounds about right.
Not anymore if you believe the authors of this trash…it’s conservatives fault for speaking the truth. Poor Claudine! My ample ass.
I couldn’t read it after the first sentence. I would have thrown this garbage in the trash if I was their editor. That’s right, I forgot, editors are passé.
Good point—Abby Hoffman should have titled a book:
“Steal This Intellectual Property”.
