A sad day for academic freedom.
Here's what Ms. Gay went thru and the tactics used against her as documented by the late great Dr Tony Martin.

Dr Tony Martin taught black history at Wellesly College for over 20 years when a strange thing happened,

:lol
Anyone know where I can cheat, get caught, and get an easy $900k/year job out of it?
LOL LIBERALS
Sad state of affairs in this country when the best regarded university repeatedly embarrasses itself over a 3 month period.
Harvard sells education and a social experience. If you don’t like it don’t send your kid there. fin.Quote:

Personally, I just can’t summon the energy to connect to this story.
Do not make the error of conflating Harvard with public school. It’s easy to do
Well here you go:Quote:

Always cite your sources pal
I don't think the Astros would sign me, even if I were allowed to use their trashcan.Quote:

Don't forget that she gets to still be a professor and make $900k/year.
The Harvard Corporation has been exposed as extremely corrupt. They're actually to blame for a lot of this (though not the plagiarism itself, obviously).
The Harvard Corporation hired Claudine Gay because of her gender and race, and ignored questions (even at the time) over her fairly light record of academic contributions.
The Harvard Corporation overruled a law firm preparing Gay for the Congressional testimony, and had their own lawyers direct her. The original law firm was going to advise her to give reasonable answers, but the woke Harvard Corporation lawyers instead advised her to give those cold, corporate-sounding answers of "it depends on the context" regarding genocidal statements, which of course went over like a lead balloon.
The Harvard Corporation of course stood by Gay after the controversy over the testimony, since it was their own idiotic lawyers who caused this mess in the first place by preparing her with horrible answers which would cause a huge backlash. (I'm not sure why the other two university Presidents basically said the same thing, though. I'm assuming they all communicated beforehand?)
The Harvard Corporation dragged their feet firing Gay after the plagiarism stuff came out, because firing her would validate the critics' narrative that Gay was a fake scholar hired only for her race and gender (which she was).
The Harvard Corporation finally asked her to resign when more and more plagiarism came out, and the school's rep was taking more and more damage with each passing day.
The problem here is that the 10/7 Hamas attacks caused a ripple in the woke force. Lots of the big donors to these universities, including Harvard, are Jewish. Most of these Jews are liberal or at least left of center, so they don't get too upset when the school pushes all of its DEI bullshit, or when they persecute conservatives. However, once it became apparent that campus lefties were all pro-Hamas to the point of being anti-Semitic, and all administrators were looking the other way as Jews were being harassed on campus, this woke up the rich Jewish donors, who weren't going to sit silent. Basically this was the moment when rich liberal Jews woke up and realized that their own party (and especially academia) hated them -- something I've been saying for years.
So the donors started pulling their money en masse, and the universities are currently in a bind. If they continue with their DEI bullshit, these donors probably won't come back. If they tone down or eliminate the DEI crap, then the established far left structure at these universities will rebel.
Harvard professors make $900k??
So Bill Ackman’s wife has now been exposed for plagiarizing wiki? She’s probably wishing he hadn’t went after Harvard so hard.

Yes, and now Ackman is tilting his face off on Twitter.Quote:

But that's dumb. First off, I have to imagine that most of the professors at MIT didn't plagiarize -- or they published very few research papers. Some disciplines are not research-focused. Second, it's a weird turnaround to go from the (correct) position of "serial plagiarizers like Claudine Gay should not be president of Harvard" to "all professors at MIT plagiarized the same way or worse than my wife did".
Instead of going on this bizarre campaign, Ackman should just say, "Yeah my wife accidentally didn't attribute some quotes to Wikipedia, but it was only one paper, and Wikipedia is different than a research paper. So yeah, she messed up a little, but let's not lose focus on the bigger picture here that Harvard was trying to protect a serial plagiarizer because she was president of the university. And let's focus on getting DEI out of universities, as it's a plague."
The "everyone's doing it and I'm gonna prove it" defense is not landing well.
typical hypocrite who thinks its ok when done and targeted to other's that dont have the same opinion and then crying foul when its done back to him
Ackman went to Harvard. How Harvard conducts their shit is pretty much irrelevant to us normies.Quote:

This outrage is a complete puzzlement to me except Congress needs to stay out of private affairs.
This feels like Shapiro has wound you up. Shapiro went to Harvard but that’s likely tangential to his identity politics streaming
