@Copper said in The Curious Case of Claudine Gay:

If you are writing code you can plagiarize as much as you want, nobody cares.

Sure.

[George K]

Examples in the thread. When 40% of your publications have questionable attributions...

[Aqua Letifer]

I'm sorry, that's not a minor problem that's absolute fucking plagiarism.

[Jolly]

Hey, hey!
Ditch the Gay!

I don't know anything about this organization, but...

National Association of Scholars pops up on my youtube feed occasionally. They are heterodox thinkers who don't need no stinking overton windows.

The curious case just got curiouser...

Had she been a white Jewish cis-male, she'd have been gone a week ago.

Had she been a straight white guy she never would have gotten the job.

A cis white male at her level would have difficulty being a professional academic.

The Crimson

“As members of the Harvard Corporation, we today reaffirm our support for President Gay’s continued leadership of Harvard University,” the board wrote in a University-wide statement on Tuesday. “In this tumultuous and difficult time, we unanimously stand in support of President Gay.”

Oh...

In the statement, the Corporation revealed that it learned about the plagiarism allegations against Gay in late October. The board’s concerns also call into question the presidential search committee’s vetting process for the search that ended in Gay’s selection less than one year ago.

The concerns raised by Harvard’s highest governing body about the plagiarism allegations against Gay mark a head-spinning twist in the controversy surrounding Gay’s tumultuous first semester as president.

While some speculated the Corporation might oust Gay over her response to the Israel-Hamas war, the statement on Tuesday suggests the academic dishonesty allegations might prove more perilous to the future of Gay’s presidency.

They knew about it two months ago.

[Jolly]

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Imagine the epic joy on the board when they found a black woman named Gay!

They will never let her go.

[George K]

I'll wait until I see details...

[Copper]

The Harvard board has redefined plagiarism, problem solved.

[George K]

Surprised it took this long.

Being against plagiarism is...

RACIST!

[Jolly]

One of these days, the race card won't work.

That day can't come soom enough.

[Copper]

The Emperor has no clothes.

It becomes embarrassing.

Rufo is making too much out of the fact that Harvard conducted their investigation quietly. Of course they did. Any organization would. Its the right thing to do.
