Dr. Claudine, current President of Harvard University, is one lucky woman or, as she might describe herself a “a lucky woman of color.” She first survived her dreadful testimony before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where she refused to unambiguously denounce calls from Harvard students and faculty to kill all Israeli Jews. It was an embarrassing performance filled with weasel words and amorphous defenses such as “it all depends on context” as if genocide might be legitimate in some circumstances. Gay’s second lucky break was to survive clear-cut evidence that she was a career plagiarist, and this scholarly dishonesty far exceeded inadvertent sloppiness.

Social Promotion and Affirmative Action are prime culprits in the panoply of causes of the fall of America. When excellence is eschewed in favor of diversity you end up with garbage like Gay, Lloyd Austin and Pete Butt-boy.

Indeed, #1. What you are is more important than what you do.

700 faculty members plus former presidents had to be all plagiarists in support of Plagiarist Numero Uno. If she goes down, they could all go down. Harvard is lost.

Addendum: As morally flexible as Gay is in being a plagiarist, that moral flexibility translate easily to anti-Semitism.

What matters most is not the "new" Harvard definition of "plagiarism," but the one in force when SHE attended the school and did her dirty deed. She's a serial liar and a fraud, like most leftists, and she must be GONE.

The reason she is still at Harvard is her Person of Color Privilege.

Sadly today, it's the norm to be a player and flout the rules with attitude and belligerence. Gay is not the exception to the rule, and we all lose by her obvious fraudulently gained status. IMO.

The people who are propping her up due to her box checking ability will not be so enthusiastic when the 20% drop in new Harvard student applications makes its way to the bottom line. She won't last another year.

" as she might describe herself a “a lucky woman of color.”" - ah, yes but ..... it's that "color" that got her the job and is what's keeping her in that job
- true demcommie partisan lingo

The prejudice working in her favor is not her color . . . it's her worldview. Otherwise the current President of Harvard would be Dr. Carol Swain, the awesome legal scholar and former Law and PoliSci professor at my alma mater, Vanderbilt. The black woman . . . the conservative black woman . . . this Gay poseur plagiarized.

#4. Correct, but at a more basic level, it all boils down to her being lazy. Of course, we could never say that.

I hope she has good hearing because I walk by her office pretty much on a daily basis and always have a few choice words for her delectation.

If Gay were as brilliant as we're supposed to believe, she wouldn't have relied on plagiarizing others as her ticket to "success." Her blatant theft of the work done by others. (including Professor Carol Swain) confirms that she was either too lazy, or lacked the confidence in her ability to actually EARN the credential she received without actually EARNING it. The fact that her colleagues stand with her, even after learning of her serial plagiarism, confirms that cheating IS acceptable in the Harvard academic circle. At least now we know.

The Claudine Gay scandal is actually a Harvard scandal and by extension a higher education scandal that is both a problem and an opportunity. Rather than limiting oneself to one black woman exploiting the system to reach beyond her intellectual capacity and worth, let us use this to expose and condemn the general rot that is hurting our children and their future in ALL institutions of higher learning. One, this is not just about Jew hate but hatred of ALL things American. And two, its not just tolerance but active promotion and indoctrination that is creating a deliberately toxic culture. I had assumed everyone naturally knew this fact about Universities and colleges. But this scandal made me realize how dangerously uninformed many people are about this danger.

Claudine used to be an American Indian - - but Fauxcahontas had already taken the token Indian slot - - so Claudine decided to identify as "black" - - so she could glom up the next token slot.

Many times in my career I've worked with individuals with multiple degrees, but seemed to be as dumb as a box of rocks. Now I know how that happens.

As soon as the alum money dries up, she will be moved to another position. Until then, every student at Harvard knows she is a liar being protected by her skin color and gender.
