Harvard really taking it on the chin lately. First tons of student groups sign a pledge to blame Israel for the 10/7 attacks, then their president makes those idiotic remarks in front of Congress, and now it's found she plagiarized 40 times, including on her dissertation.
The board is still defending her, and making excuses regarding her plagiarism. This is supposed to be one of the very top universities in America, and is world famous. What a complete embarrassment.
Here's a great Boston Globe piece regarding how Harvard and other US universities need to clean up their act:

It's a nonpartisan article which does not glorify the right, nor Israel for that matter. I felt it was very fair, and very sensible.
Basically the author makes the point that universities have become hypocritical shitshows, full of draconic rules which are only enforced when convenient. He also makes the point that these universities have become slaves to DEI, to the point where they're afraid to take any action which could possibly cast DEI in a bad light.

Imagine ever thinking the once great Harvard University would be lacking in integrity? Times sure have changed.
