It’ll be interesting to see who they put in next.

I’ll put my money on another minority puppet.

If there is such a creature, it must unconditionally love Israel.

Well, score a point for Jim Don Bob

On to the next question. Who will be her replacement?

It is interesting that even Obama could not save her.

P.S. Really wish Ron would fix the bug about displaying the first comment(s?) in a thread. Does anyone understand what causes it?

Alerted on Bloomberg, nice to hear. Wonder the incentive to leave…10X her ~$2M salary, US presidency in 2028,…?

The fresh complaint filed yesterday might have been the last nail in the coffin:

https://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Complaint2.pdf

Seven of Gay’s 17 published works have already been impacted by the scandal, but the new charges, which have not been previously reported, extend into an eighth: In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.

That article, “The Effect of Minority Districts and Minority Representation on Political Participation in California,” includes some of the most extreme and clear-cut cases of plagiarism yet. At one point, Gay borrows four sentences from Canon’s 1999 book, Race, Redistricting, and Representation: The Unintended Consequences of Black Majority Districts, without quotation marks and with only minor semantic tweaks. She does not cite Canon anywhere in or near the passage,

https://freebeacon.com/campus/harvard-president-claudine-gay-hit-with-six-new-charges-of-plagiarism/

What’s amazing in the end is that she got away with this for so many years because no one in academia wants to scrutinize the work of a Woman of Color anyway. She never got any push back from her professors on her earlier plagiarism (which they knew about – some of the plagiarism involved her thesis advisor’s own work which he clearly recognized) so she just kept doing it. A white male student would have gotten a warning (or perhaps even a suspension if caught again) back in his freshman year but they just let her keep doing it, because who wants to be a racist?

Also that she would have KEPT getting away with this if she hadn’t put herself in the bullseye with her stupid remarks. You would think that being President of Harvard is high profile enough but apparently not. Nowadays if a top U. considers a white guy for pres. (not very often) they are going to investigate the hell out of him to find out if he wore any funny costumes to Halloween parties or ever got drunk at a frat party and had a one night stand with a drunk girl (aka “rape” if you don’t call her to ask her out again the next day). But a cardboard cutout like Claudine Gay you don’t want to poke at too hard – it would be racist anyway.

Claudine Gay to Resign

Oh darn, I was enjoying watching her twist in the wind.

Step on the wrong toes and suddenly a bunch of dirt conveniently comes out of the shoe.

Poor Ms. Gay thought she was the Thunderbird, but now she’s learned she isn’t….

On to the next question. Who will be her replacement?

Again, at the rumor level, but per The Boston Globe a Jew.

OK, Alan Garber is currently provost, so like Gay previously as top dog of the “Faculty of Arts and Sciences” (largest unit, includes the college, R1 graduate and research unit etc., but not the business, law, medicine etc. schools) would have been on the short list, but…. Jews have all but owned this position since 1991.

Darn, was hoping this would drag out a bit longer. This was another one of those things where I have heard first-hand from left of center people that the situation was ridiculous and unacceptable. Hopefully the Chris Rufos of the world are out sniffing around for more high profile diversity hires to out as lightweights.

What will be interesting is if the board doubles down on diversity or asks some kind of Larry Summers type of person to step in for a few years.

Statement from Dr. Claudine Gay. teve_Sailer @AnnCoulter @realchrisrufo #claudinegay #harvard pic.twitter.com/0kjmJzZdYv

I’m sure they would love to do this, but under the circumstances the next president must also be a highly esteemed scholar with unimpeachable credentials. The Ven diagram of “black people” and “highly esteemed scholars with unimpeachable credentials” has small to no overlap. If I had to guess, they are going to get an Asian or a subcon or a Middle Easterner. Someone like Shafik at Columbia. There are also some whitish Latinos who are pretty solid. Preferably a woman. And preferably some STEM person whose work is not controversial. There are a lot of female biologists – something like that.

So we won’t have Claudine Gay to kick around anymore. In the end being a black woman wasn’t enough.

If Gay had been a lesbian like her sister, would she have scored enough extra intersectionality Pokemon points to save her job? Probably not, but one wonders.

Her interim replacement is … a Jewish guy.

Jack doesn’t consider an asian who is a puppet to Jewish power a minority puppet. Lol!

And it’s official, or a resignation letter has been posted to the Official web site.

ZeroHedge claimed the real thing was from an “AI” prompt “Hey ChatGPT, please write me an overly ornate, rambling, race-baiting resignation letter.” and it has gems like:

Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor—two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am—and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.

Garber is the INTERIM replacement. It’s possible that they will make him the permanent president but unlikely.

In the Harvard Corporation’s letter accepting her resignation, they take one last snipe at the dirty racists who brought her down. Gay will keep her faculty appointment which seems strange if the reason for her resignation is {admitted – see below} plagiarism.

While President Gay has acknowledged missteps {not really} and has taken responsibility for them, it is also true that she has shown remarkable resilience in the face of deeply personal and sustained attacks. While some of this has played out in the public domain, much of it has taken the form of repugnant and in some cases racist vitriol directed at her through disgraceful emails and phone calls. We condemn such attacks in the strongest possible terms.

…some of the plagiarism involved her thesis advisor’s own work which he clearly recognized…

Couldn’t he at least have quietly told her, “Claudine, you have to cite me on this?” Or is even that racist and sexist?

“I am not a crook.” –Claudine Gay

A rather hollow victory, signifying nothing more than the desire on Harvard’s part to avoid any more bad publicity. It’s important to note that while she’s resigning as president, she wasn’t fired outright, so she’ll be returning to her position on the faculty. She’ll continue to earn a high-figure salary obtained via her fraudulent curriculum vitae.

As usual on the progressive left, no one is embarrassed about what she did, only that she got caught.

Hilarious. Well done Buzz!

I note that the long beak is on top.

So does the next President have to get Ackman’s approval?

So, this qualifies her for the US Senate, right?

All the goyim had to go, MIT lady is saved

Someone pointed out that the main job of a college president these days is fundraising.

Just as the main job of a politician is fundraising.

When I was in grad school in the 1980s, my university, then a third tier school, hired a former congressman as college president. This person was especially known for getting money from people of his ethnic background (no, he wasn’t Jewish).

He announced an audacious plan to raise
(Pinky in mouth here)
One
Billion
Dollars

Which was a LOT of money for a university in those days.

He also said they would jack up the tuition to match the Ivies. Because rich people thought of high tuition as a sign of a high quality university

He did both.

A lot of the money was to give extremely generous scholarships to a handful of very sought after students. For example, I knew several undergraduates who were genuine prodigies. One graduated at the age of 13 and went on to accomplish quite a bit afterwards.

Now that university is one of the Big Name non-Ivy schools.

Harvard loves its endowment. They could give free tuition to all their students, but won’t. They would rather see their endowment grow.

Or they could pay staff better. I’ve heard stories of overworked and underpaid employees who were expected to be thrilled to be working at such a prestigious institution. They won’t. They want that big tax free endowment.

Now you see how nice you can be if we just avoid…certain subjects?

To see how awful Gay was, and how destructive the “race trumps all” ideology is not only for academia but for black education in general, see this short documentary, which details how she sought to destroy the career of a politically incorrect but truly pioneering young black social scientist, Roland Fryer:

Babylon Bee: Her farewell address begins with “Four score and seven years ago…” and ends with Nixon’s resignation “at noon tomorrow”

I guessed the standard line about not wanting to be a distraction, but I’ll be disappointed if it does not also include “I look forward to spending more time with my family.”

8 plagiarisms issues for 17 published articles. Her tenure shouldn’t be safe.

‘I’m sure they would love to do this, but under the circumstances the next president must also be a highly esteemed scholar with unimpeachable credentials. The Ven diagram of “black peopleâ€� and “highly esteemed scholars with unimpeachable credentialsâ€� has small to no overlap…’

I’d rewrite this as follows:

‘I’m sure they would love to do this, but under the circumstances the next president must also be a highly esteemed scholar with unimpeachable credentials the next president must also be black, regardless of the difficulties in finding a candidate. The Ven diagram of “black peopleâ€� and “highly esteemed scholars with unimpeachable credentialsâ€� has small to no overlap, but somewhere out there is some black drudge who is morally defensible and at least diligent, if not especially brilliant…’

Lotsa ‘blacks’ with IQ’s of 120 or so and no criminal record. Harvard will hire her.

From the FreeBeacon article:

Canon, like several of the scholars Gay has quoted without attribution, insisted that she had done nothing wrong.

“I am not at all concerned about the passages,” Canon told the Washington Free Beacon. “This isn’t even close to an example of academic plagiarism.”

I kinda doubt he’d be as lax with his own students. At least the white male ones.

In default of a suitable and willing black scholar, perhaps Harvard will settle for a Jewish tranny— they can get one with, shall we say, high energy to put fundraising back on track, and as a master of shameless aggressive lying, a high-IQ low-empathy autogynephiliac would be the ideal leader for Harvard’s continuing (“F-you, Supreme Court�) affirmative-action race-and-perversity-based admissions system.

1. The new president must be a black, for to do otherwise would be tantamount to an admission that affirmative action and competence to do the job are mutually exclusive.

2. The faculty must be extensively consulted.

3. The new president must have had extensive experience with faculty, students and a university.

4. Psychologists who specialize in spouse-selection say that you have to have “heat,� because without heat, all you’ve got is a good friend. Similarly, in addition to the objective factors above, you have to have heat, given the background of this situation.

Is Larry Summers available?

What reason did she give for resignation? Choose one.

Confession of serial plagiarism.
Wrongly threatening lawsuits against journalists for unfavorable coverage.
Admission that her academic success depended entirely on her African genes combined with her XX chromosomes.
Regret for hounding out scholars whose views she wanted to suppress.
Sorry for excusing pro-Palestinian calls for violence while punishing peaceful speech of anyone to the right of Angela Davis.
Failing to prepare for her Congressional hearing.
Foolishly offending major alum donors.
It was the Jews! The Jews!
Harvard coming in last on free speech
Forced to because of racism.

Poor Ms. Gay thought she was the Thunderbird, but now she’s learned she isn’t…

Nah, she’s the lowly Falcon.

I disagree that they will do #1, because that will make it obvious that that they are just looking for tokens and not for the “best person” . Also because affirmative action and competence to do the job ARE in fact mutually exclusive. They don’t dare risk another mediocre black and mediocre is the best that is available.

The people at the Harvard Corporation are pretty smart. There are ways to square this circle without getting another black. Just as Gay was the first black Harvard pres, the next one will be the first Asian/Middle Eastern/Latino one. Plenty of other members of the Coalition of the Fringes to take a turn and better odds that they can find someone competent. For its last president, MIT got Rafael Reif of Venezuela, who is bilingual in Spanish and Yiddish. A twofer!

Chris Rufo is very much in the Eye of Soros right now. I’ll leave it at that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brademas

John Brademas, NYU (which was in a lot of trouble when it had to abandon its former main campus in the Bronx.)

Harvard loves its endowment. They could give free tuition to all their students, but won’t. They would rather see their endowment grow.

Most higher education endowment gifts are earmarked. In other words, and it’s infamous going back more than a century in the case of Harvard’s main library building, that donors don’t trust administrators.

Harvard’s may indeed be so big that there are enough funds that could be used to reduce or eliminate tuition (although taking that too far has I think too many bad effects), but the general reason for the setup of this game is that tuition money can be spent on anything administrators want. So earmarked for tuition endowments actually go in due course to their favorite things, which includes hiring more administrators.

Also worth nothing Harvard’s endowment doesn’t grow so well from investments after they constructively terminated the people who were running the equilivent of a world class “Wall Street” hedge fund accomplishing that. To hire and retain that talent, including risk management, it paid Wall Street compensation … which was of course way more than the faculty made, and I assume most or perhaps all administrators.

Harvard continued to behave as if they’d continue to get such returns, and then the Great Recession hit. This unit was then so poorly run that one investment that started losing badly wasn’t noticed and closed out until a billion dollars were lost (!). This had major effects, like halting the building of a new campus, stark structural concrete sticking out of the ground and all that. Things were also tough in 2020 for the obvious reasons.

A tranny would be great but there’s not that many of them.

That could change going forward. No idea what the terminal tranny percentage will turn out to be.

Yeah, her thesis advisor said the same thing when she was caught stealing from him.

As I said before, he really did her no favors by going easy on her when she wrote her thesis. If he had just scribbled a little note in the margin of her draft thesis it would have saved her a lot of trouble now and maybe she would have internalized it instead of getting the message that her black skin gave her privilege to just grab a handful of cigarillos like an academic Michael Brown. The soft bigotry of low expectations in action.

The problem is that the Harvard code is very clear that what she did IS academic plagiarism and doesn’t say anything about how it’s not plagiarism if the person you steal from retroactively forgives you because you are black and it would be racist not to. There is no academic version of “stealing less than $300 is not an arrestable offense any more”.

In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.

“Lord, give me the confidence manuscripts of a mediocre White Man.”

Excellent point, but watch out for the Eisenhower problem. When Ike was president of Columbia, he spent so much time giving his advice to NATO and everybody else, that he was harshly criticized for neglecting his duties as president of the University. Thus, the new Harvard president, if notable because of his current affiliations, would have to say: I am completely cutting myself off from all these affiliations, and if the phone rings, I’m not going to take their call. Thus, Obama would have to say, I will cease running the country. It would be nice if there is some nerdy black academic somewhere, a university professor, who, quite indisputably, discerned the first novel, insightful, compelling take on Paradise Lost to come along in 100 years. Potential critics would simply say, The web you weaved is too complicated for me, but it’s good enough for me.

Sort of sad to see Gay go. Having the establishment’s face be these embarassing clowns (Gay, Biden, Harris, etc.) is overall, i think, a good thing. But I am glad not to have to look at her. Minoritarianism is not just toxic and destructive but really ugly.

This does highlight that there are separate totem poles.

Blacks are–AFAICT–atop the oppression totem pole. Jews have their holocaust and they can green-light another 50 holocaust pics. But that was far away (and now long ago). American Jews–rather wisely–used blacks and their experience in America–slavery, Jim Crow–as the cudgel to beat on whites and the American nation. (The smarter, savvier Jews aware that their own “oppression” in America was a complete joke, no matter how it animates the true believers.) So oppression wise, blacks have the top hand. Jews, QWERTY people, muzzies, assorted immigrants are behind. And that is only very slowly ebbing.

But on the power totem pole, blacks are complete non-entities. They produce nothing, have no wealth, no skill dominance (outside sports) and control nothing–except some black majority (dump) cities. Prominent blacks in elite institutions are there courtesy of whites–AA. On the power totem pole, Jews are on top.

Even in the Parasite Party where black votes matter–same story. While black votes saved Biden, but we got him because Jewish money guys didn’t want one of the progressives and threw their $$$ behind Biden. And the Biden Administration is an almost wholly Jewish operation with a few black tokens.

This situation will evolve with the demographic changes. There are many more Asians–including some highly competent groups–than Jews. And the legacy American–Anglo-Protestant– deference to Jews and their holocaust narrative, Israel, etc. won’t be there. More like sharp elbows of competing elite groups. And, of course, with the Latinization there will be a whole lot less of the traditional American interest in/deference to blacks and their narrative. To Latinos–and Asians– they’re just a pain-in-the-ass underclass/criminal group.

Old black women don’t die,they just fade away.-Claudine Gay

Two down, myriad to go. But Garber’s ascendancy reminds us that Gay did not install these pathologies, they were installed by, or their installation tolerated by, mostly high-SAT white males, frequently Jewish.

She’ll fall up; end the CEO of Disney or Time Warner.

Obama. Either of them.

It tried to hit “Agree� but I fat fingered and got disagree.

Now I can’t change it.

My apologies

What is the point of the exercise? Is it just to let future University presidents know there will be consequences? What will Ms Gay’s replacement do that Gay did not? I guess if you want to go deeper is there anything Gay could do, perhaps because she is Black, that her replacement will not be able to do.

The Corporation is still in a closed door meeting.

Here’s some recent footage that’s been smuggled out…

Now she’ll have plenty of time to grow that hair back out, like a Real Black Woman!

No more lesbo buzz cuts.

I’ve heard that a guy in Oregon who ran a moving company is a strong candidate…

They wanted to appeal to the more manually-gifted Harvard applicants who struggled with Algebra I.

An interesting point, but with so many open questions as to her bona fides of even being a professor, I think that might not last but so much longer either.

> To see how awful Gay was

Here is Chris Rufo’s co-author Christopher Brunet, writing in April 2022 about Gay’s multiple Harvard scandals — The Curious Case of Claudine Gay.

And here is a January 2019 article by the excellent (no sarcasm) Stuart Taylor Jr., laying out how Harvard orchestrated its witch hunt against Professor Fryer. Gay’s behind-the-scenes involvement was not appreciated at the time.

It’ll be interesting to see who they put in next.

Reputation repair should be Harvard’s top priority. Claudine Gay is the George Santos of academia, yet the Harvard board of overseers, like the GOP in the case of Santos, couldn’t or wouldn’t properly vet her because of identity politics. The board needs to tender their resignation and call for a new election immediately.

If there is such a creature, it must unconditionally love Israel.

Whatever they choose, the person has to be compromised from the beginning. I doubt that Gay was hired without understanding her weaknesses. The funny thing is that Gay thought the rules didn’t apply to her. She’s obviously not that bright.

The person who made the detailed plagiarism accusations against Gay has chose to remain anonymous because (after Harvard sicced its lawyers on the NY Post) he did not think that Claudine wanted his name only in order to thank him for driving her much harder than she wanted to be driven. (A joke reference to her plagiarized thesis acknowledgement).

Even worse, the New York Post reports that Gay and Harvard “threatened to use legal means to out who had supplied the comparisons,� a shocking admission that Gay and Harvard sought to
retaliate against me personally. At one point Gay and Harvard asked the Post, “Why would
someone making such a complaint be unwilling to attach their name to it?� I was unwilling
because I feared that Gay and Harvard would violate their policies, behave more like a cartel with a
hedge fund attached than a university, and try to seek “immense� damages from me and who
knows what else. Since I’ve answered their lawyer’s stupid question, allow me to ask a reasonable
question of my own. Why would an institution assessing allegations made in good faith, and
ultimately substantiated, threaten to use its enormous resources to expose the identity of a
whistleblower? Did Gay wish to personally thank me for helping her to improve her work even if I
drove her harder than she wanted to be driven?

From the anon’s latest missive to Harvard, the one that apparently succeeded in pushing her out the door.

https://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Complaint2.pdf

Talk about a picture speaking a thousand words & winning the thread on the fourth comment.

“…..racial animus.”

Oh dear Lord! The left is back to blaming White supremacists.

But on the power totem pole, blacks are complete non-entities. They produce nothing, have no wealth,

You are, what number, on the 2023 Forbes Billionaire List?

Great, then STFU.

Agree.

This is Harvard, not some podunk joint that has to quiver in fear of being insufficiently diverse and “with it”. Gay was–ridiculous–virtue signaling but by no means required. Harvard could appoint a serious competent Jewish heterosexual (XY) male scholar–of which there are many–and be fine.

My guess is they won’t do that. My guess would be they’d pick someone not obviously ethnically interested in the Israel-Palestine head bashing nonsense at all. As you note the Asian and Hispanic options are on the table if they want “diversity”.

But pretty sure they won’t pick another black. That blackety-black thing is so 2020. Embarrassing enough they hired Gay last year. I don’t expect Harvard to announce that Derek Chauvin did not kill George Floyd–like Loury and McWhorter. But I do expect they’ll sense the blackety-black stuff is past its sell-by, and headed downscale and they don’t have to virtue signal like they’re Southwest Georgia State University.

I guess we’ll see how savvy the Harvard trustees really are.

Upthread, commenter Rob Lee: “It’s important to note that while she’s resigning as president, she wasn’t fired outright, so she’ll be returning to her position on the faculty.”

That choice should bring a smile to Chris Rufo, as the plagiarism complaints concern Gay in her role as a member of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The price of having her return to her cushy academic position is that the Board of Governors’ Tar Baby will continue to be “So, you must follow your own procedures.”

Which, as detailed in the linked Free Beacon article, they cannot — the cost is too high.

Gay is the gift that keeps on giving.

Harvard loves its endowment. They could give free tuition to all their students, but won’t.

Nor should they; nor should any similar institution. They have a ton of wealthy students who neither need nor deserve it.

She never got any push back from her professors on her earlier plagiarism

Well there you go – it was their fault, not hers. If her racist white professors had taught her about this plagiarism thing she would never have done it. If her professors were black then they were mis-trained by their white predecessors. Why won’t white people behave and teach blacks about plagiarism and stuff like that? Why are they always tricking black people? What’s a poor black Harvard President supposed to do?
Systemic racism runs deep, very deep. If you stare enough into that abyss, you will see those white racists at the bottom.

Jews have all but owned this position since 1991.

1993 in Yale’s case. There was a time in recent history when six or seven of the eight Ivy League presidents were all Jewish, but I can’t remember exactly when. Probably won’t happen again, for a couple reasons not least being optics.

So it goes, and so it goes…

Many blacks have learned this lesson, going back to the civil rights movement, again with the 70’s black radicals, black “thought leaders”, BLM types, and now, this chick- Blacks can get away with almost anything, but if they ever, even briefly, touch the “third rail” i.e. mention the jews, point out jewish power, or lawdy lawdy, get on the wrong side of the jewish power paradigm… THEY ARE DONE!

It’s happened more time than I can count.

They can even be “pro-Palestinian” during normal times, because that’s just words, but when the master comes a callin’, you best mind your p’s and q’s!

The jews will use their enormous power, that they definitely don’t have, to crush you into dust.

This ugly excuse for a person will land on her feet, in some other diversity gig, but I’ll bet she never opposes jewish power again.

Blacks can be as uppity as they like, but they aren’t allowed to “name the jew” any more than anyone else is allowed to, which is NEVER!

So long, Soul Sista, you just got your come-uppance.

Amidst all of this, it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor—two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am…

[Raised hand in the back of the room]

“Professor Gay, your two bedrock values are Confronting Hate and Upholding Scholarly Rigor. Could you rank them for us?”

the next one will be the first Asian/Middle Eastern/Latino one.

Not the first tranny? Not Admiral Rachel Levine?

I found a photo of some Jews that JD probably doesn’t like. So, alas, no common ground even here.

I nominate Admiral Rachel Levine to be president of Harvard. On condition it gets rid of the standard military women’s bun hairstyle and goes back to the shoulder length fright wig.

‘In default of a suitable and willing black scholar, perhaps Harvard will settle for a Jewish tranny— they can get one with, shall we say, high energy to put fundraising back on track, and as a master of shameless aggressive lying, a high-IQ low-empathy autogynephiliac would be the ideal leader for Harvard’s continuing (“F-you, Supreme Courtâ€�) affirmative-action race-and-perversity-based admissions system.’

Could work — but I really think it takes a Negro to replace a Negro. That’s the principle here.

Besides, Israel’s really gone off the deep end. I think the ability of her partisans to intimidate is rapidly declining. They’re going to have to regroup and come back another day.

It worked this time.
Wouldn’t let me earlier.

Thanks.

What did the Aztecs know from Jews? Think of it more as convergent evolution.

Neither her resignation letter nor the Corporation’s letter (both surely lawyered up the wazoo) mention the specific reason(s) for her resignation. According to the Corporation’s letter (incidentally, Priztker appears to be the only Jew on the Corporation) “President Gay has acknowledged missteps” without actually saying what they were. If she acknowledged missteps it must have been to the board privately because her resignation letter doesn’t mention any, just that “it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign”. At least she doesn’t say it’s to spend more time with her (non-existent) family.

So, I think that legally speaking, this leaves the plagiarism allegations untouched. The Faculty will either have to process them as they would against any member of the faculty who has been so accused. The last time this came up they gave her an immediate pass (pass first and then the “investigation” later) but I don’t think it’s going to be all that easy this time. Probably they will give her ANOTHER pass (some of the latest people she plagiarized from have already written to say that what she did was totally fine and not plagiarism even though it was ) but that will just leave them looking like corrupt idiots, not a good look. But Claudine keeps her job. Maybe there is some way out where after a decent interval she leaves to become the head of Planned Parenthood or some prestigious but non-academic non-profit.

‘I’m stealing this from someone, but Claudine, Kamala, and Michelle Obama would have been solid middle school vice principals.’

I’ve said similar — but I really don’t think either Claudine or Kamala are right for the part. Michelle maybe — but not Claudine or Kamala. Claudine’s visage could give an early adolescent nightmares, and Kamala is too obviously phony.

In general, though, the problem with these people — with blacks in general — is that they’re promoted way past their level of competence. It’s the Peter Principle on Acid, or something.

….and of course it’s a vicious circle. Instead of meeting the occasional competent black doctor or bureaucrat and at least qualifying our racism, we have all our darkest suspicions confirmed…decide to give two hundred dollars to the local chapter of the KKK this year.

Mike Tomlin next please. the defendant stands accused of 6 counts of resting on his laurels, 4 counts of egregious misuse of Coach’s challenges, 3 counts of impersonating an NFL Coach (mainly during press conferences), 1 count of tripping a player on another team DURING a game in progress, and a single count of murder of the career of a Hall of Fame player.

He is hereby found guilty, and sentences the fans to another 10 to 12 years of “Never had a losing season, never won another playoff game either”, to be eligible for release never, or whenever Art Rooney gets tired of this guy, whichever comes first. Court is adjourned.

Canon, like several of the scholars Gay has quoted without attribution, insisted that she had done nothing wrong.

Indeed there is a ‘Manchurian Candidate’ “Claudine Gay is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.” odor wafting from these denials.

‘…Probably they will give her ANOTHER pass (some of the latest people she plagiarized from have already written to say that what she did was totally fine and not plagiarism even though it was ) but that will just leave them looking like corrupt idiots, not a good look…’

It’s better than looking like a racist. She’ll stay — and (for varying motives), everyone will tacitly agree to not talk about it.

At Harvard, anyway. One or two will probably drift our way (did I just say ‘our’?), though.

…at night, with the covers pulled up over their heads.

We now have proof positive of what should have obvious all along: no amount of diversity Pokemon points will avail against the Israel Lobby.

It’ll be interesting to see who they put in next.

The note that David was asked to give to Peggotty reads “Obama Barkis is willing.”

It is interesting that even Obama could not save her

Obama shares the same beliefs as the female antisemite. Is Obama “poweful”? Look at all the negative articles written about him since the end of 2d term–even in the Black Agenda Report. Expect Obama to continue to be #1 @ shuck-and-jive.com

Totem poles are not Aztec. They are NW coastal Indian. Haida, Tlingit, Salish, etc.

The NW coastal Indians were perhaps the luckiest aboriginal people on earth. They lived near rivers with incredible salmon runs. Every year MILLIONS of salmon would appear. The waters would just be swarming with them. ( Unfortunately, there were no bagel or cream cheese runs.) There were large animals like deer, elk and mountain goats in the forests and mountains. They hunted large sea mammals like seals and sea lions and even whales in the ocean. This left them with a lot of time to do other things like carve enormous totem poles.

She didn’t say “not necessarily in that order” so I think she already told us which one comes first.

If only. – Roxanne Gay.

Insufficient Yiddiphilia.

As to who will be installed after Gay. I bet it will be a Jew (prolly the provost). Harvard needs to rein in its Jewish billionaires

career of a politically incorrect but truly pioneering young black social scientist, Roland Fryer

Politically [mildly] incorrect, yes. Apparently, he has a contrarian streak and feels secure enough to display it. “Pioneering”, no. Most of his stuff is plain vanilla obvious and none is appreciably original. Despite the protestations, he too is an affirmative action beneficiary. Without AA, he would be an average econ prof at an average college. Sad but true.

Here’s my (not so) insane conspiracy theory: Israel probably had 110% of their intelligence officers working unlimited overtime to find inconsistencies in her publications just so they could get her out. 🙂

Incredible that there are clowns here that sincerely believe this not about Israel and ONLY Israel, you think that if she did the usual Israel worship any of this would have been noticed?

This shit will never stop being funny.

The fresh complaint filed yesterday might have been the last nail in the coffin

The first and final nail in her coffin came shortly after 10/7 when she didn’t come out and say that any criticism of Israel or sympathy for Palestinians digging through rubble to find the bodies of their infants is anti-Semitic hate speech and any student at Harvard who engages in any criticism of Israel— even comments construed as critical— will be immediately expelled and doxxed.

Was gonna guess BU.

Probably they will give her ANOTHER pass (some of the latest people she plagiarized from have already written to say that what she did was totally fine and not plagiarism even though it was ) but that will just leave them looking like corrupt idiots, not a good look.

It would appear that there is substantial reason to think that she falsified data in her Doc. thesis. If that turns out to be the case, it is doubtful that she could survive at Harvard in any capacity.

In a Boston Globe article I read today, it mentioned that Claudine was the daughter of Haitian immigrants. (Shitholers) I don’t recall any mention of that prior to that article. Am I not paying close enough attention?

2. “To elect Lisa Randall as President of Harvard one must paint her black” – headline never written ðŸ˜�

I’m stealing this from someone, but Claudine, Kamala, and Michelle Obama would have been solid middle school vice principals.

Kamala is so irritating she would have been bad even there.

it is doubtful that she could survive at Harvard in any capacity

.Remember how in times of national crisis people would rally around the flag , now it’s rally around the negro.

Philippe Lemoine on Twitter:

There are basically two kinds of censorship at universities: bottom-up censorship of right-wing views due to pressure by professors and students and top-down censorship of anti-Israel views due to pressure by Jewish donors.

Leftists are right to denounce the latter, but it’s hard not to be struck by their hypocrisy when they not only never denounce but actively support the former, which is far more pervasive.

Might be Leninism rather than hypocrisy.

The NW coastal Indians were perhaps the luckiest aboriginal people on earth. They lived near rivers with incredible salmon runs. Every year MILLIONS of salmon would appear. The waters would just be swarming with them. ( Unfortunately, there were no bagel or cream cheese runs.)

Another African American taking gold in a sprint. Diversity is her strength.

It would appear that there is substantial reason to think that she falsified data in her Doc. thesis. If that turns out to be the case, it is doubtful that she could survive at Harvard in any capacity.

You, sir, underestimate the Power of
Black Black Blackety Black!

I think it’s entirely possible someone found something really bad that has yet to become public, because Gay was hanging in there, and the Harvard board was solidly behind her. This situation reeks of something that was used to lever her out of power.

Penny Pritzker was Gay’s patron. I bet JB Pritzker, who wants to replace Biden in the job of the Presidency, ordered her to cut Gay loose to keep from damaging the Pritzker family name ahead of the election.

Her replacement will surely be a Palestinian rocket scientist with a Ph.D from the University of Gaza.

Does Gay get to keep her PhD even if it is based on a plagiarized thesis? If she does, I’d rate that still a victory for DEI.

— Tom Riddle (parody) (@tomri33le) January 2, 2024

Either the blacks and the lesbians caved to the J*ws or there’s a large payoff/ sinecure she accepted to resign.

Or, likely, both. Since its the J*ws, not the affirmative action block, that is where the real power (money) is.

In any event, she did the right thing before by not resigning, but now her resignation means that she will be forever tainted as having “admitted” via resignation to doing bad things. Resignations = confessions in the Marxist woke world.

Either way, as we learned with George Santos just last year, and as we are learning now with Claudine Gay, there are nine words you must live by these days — or else you will die by them:

NEVER RESIGN OR APOLOGIZE; AND

DON’T. CROSS. THE. JEWS.

Kamala would’ve bee the VP who thinks all the kids love her and thinks she’s cool but really only five grade-grubbing suckups and the lesbian gym teacher pretend to like her and every other kid and teacher and janitor loathes her.

When someone is out of their depth and doesn’t understand what is going on they will copy what other people in the same environment are saying and doing so that nobody, hopefully, will notice their shortcomings and that they will come across as a regular competent person. Others must have noticed this, particularly when engaged in social interaction with people that are mentally handicapped.

This woman’s plagiarism is to be explained this way.

The plagiarism allegations keep coming (and can be proved but also can dismissed as unimportant) but nothing more seems to be happening with the data allegations. She didn’t give up her data at the time that it was questioned and enough years have passed that she can say that the data no longer exists. That it got “lost”. So I don’t think they are going to be able to pin her on that.

You have to understand that there’s a big difference between what happens when they WANT to get you and when they don’t. The faculty already views this as an attack from outside the university and by hated conservatives so this is very much the latter. They will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into this (but that was true of the Corporation also). Ultimately, as much as they love her, the University is more important than any individual, even a black female one, and if she becomes a liability there will come a point where they have to throw her overboard regardless, as the Corporation just did.

On one hand, glad to see any high-profile woke POS taken down. Ten million more to go.

On the other hand, what better mascot for a Woke U than an incompetent negro female?

But Claudine keeps her job. Maybe there is some way out where after a decent interval she leaves to become the head of Planned Parenthood or some prestigious but non-academic non-profit.

Since I nailed her resignation, let me now predict that Harvard will slow walk the plagiarism investigation and she will quietly resign her academic position at the end of the academic year, probably to land softly, as you say, at PP or some other liberal sinecure.

Then again, maybe not. She is quite recognizable with the shorty Afro and big glasses, so she may be radioactive as the public face of even a liberal organization.

Were I a Harvard student recently accused or convicted of plagiarism, I’d be making some noise.

Unqualified living political stunts will continue to be hired, nothing has changed, voting will not remove them. There is no awareness on the the part of the elite of what they are doing wrong or that they have done anything wrong. Ellis Items had a wierd editorial, pocked with bizarre ritual Trump hatred, but attempting to sound rational by blaming the Trump phenomenon on government generally being non-responsive. The problem with this incoherent lunatic fever dream is that government is perfectly and admirably responsive regarding the things that drive Trump support. When a corrupt foreign dictator needs more money to buy cocaine or another Swiss mansion, when a malignant dwarf with pedo-face wants unsupervised children to flow freely across the border, when lawbreakers must be protected from the consequences of their actions, when journalists must be intimidated or killed, when poorly thought out war must be dragged on and then given up, when the standard of living must be decreased for those who work, the efficiency of this government can hardly be improved. At one point, the writer criticizes Trump’s hardly-controversial (since we’ve all lived through it) idea that cheap petroleum products help the rest of the economy, by babbling about it probably not being enough to rescue the doomed and already-failing Social Security scam. This is something like saying that anti-Vietnam War protesters are irresponsible because they haven’t proposed a budget for an additional Christmas bombing.
Let the Green Zone be cut off from groceries and then let’s talk.

Perhaps it would be helpful for all authors to adopt Anatoly Karlin’s practice of always leaving the first comment with a boilerplate statement of commenting guidelines. Then this issue would be avoided.

If they are going to do it right they need to find, checks trend, a Jewish academic. What are the odds? That will leave only 1 Ivy League school without Jewish leadership. Apparently after all this liberal transformation there’s not a single qualified goy, ah Christian, in America who could run a university.

Jewish power strikes again.

Don’t worry Jackie boy! As of now, the interim president is a Jewish man – and there’s no doubt a good chance the full term one will be as well. That’s a White guy in your book, eh?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-school-board-head-resigns-plagiarism-allegations-grow-1.1398446

There may be a pattern developing. Too soon to tell.

Besides her being a black woman, I wonder if her looking like a lesbian and having the surname “Gay” played a role in her getting the job. Because even if she isn’t a lesbian, her appearance and name would lead people to associate Harvard with LGBTQ, if only subconsciously.

The NW coastal Indians were perhaps the luckiest aboriginal people on earth. They lived near rivers with incredible salmon runs. Every year MILLIONS of salmon would appear. The waters would just be swarming with them. ( Unfortunately, there were no bagel or cream cheese runs.) There were large animals like deer, elk and mountain goats in the forests and mountains. They hunted large sea mammals like seals and sea lions and even whales in the ocean. This left them with a lot of time to do other things like carve enormous totem poles.

Apparently, Lewis and Clark noted that the only well fed looking Indians they found on their Expedition were the NW coastal ones who had it easy food wise.

Harvard is where people go to make connections and print credentials. No one goes there to actually learn or have sincere debates. This has probably been true for a long time but in the 2020s it’s completely undeniable.

We all know DIE will continue to try to march us into hell, but this is the biggest hole in the dam I’ve seen.

As long as you fully cook the fish they are fine to eat, worms and all. Actually a king salmon is good eats. The coastal Indians would cook the salmon crucified on sticks in front of a fire until it was like leather or jerky and then it would keep indefinitely.

The plagiarism allegations keep coming (and can be proved but also can dismissed as unimportant)

You should have been a Jesuit.

The Free Beacon obtained a copy of Gay’s private resignation letter delivered to the Harvard Corporation. This is different than the publicly released version and shows more of her trademark way with (other people’s) words:

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Eight score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we (metaphorically) stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Black and LGBTQIA2S+ slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But 160 years later, I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races. The only time we chill is when we kill each other. It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other. One hundred and sixty years later, the Person of Color is still languished in the corners of American society and finds herself in exile in her own land. And so I have written you today to dramatize a shameful condition.

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President, I must put the interest of Harvard first. Harvard needs a full-time President and a full-time Corporation, particularly at this moment of extraordinary challenge and frightening personal attacks fueled by racial animus.

To continue to fight—on the beaches, on the landing grounds, in the fields and in the streets, whatever the cost may be—for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Corporation in a period when our entire focus should be on upholding scholarly rigor and confronting hate in all its forms.

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at 1:00 p.m. today.

When I came to power in 2023 my road was clearly mapped out. It had been defined in a struggle, which had put me under an obligation to the Harvard people. The social part of this program meant unifying the Harvard people, overcoming all class and race prejudices, and if necessary, breaking any opposition to this unity. Economically, it meant building a National Harvard economy which appreciated the importance of private initiative, but subordinated the entire economic life to the common interest.

It was the same in foreign politics. My program was to do away with Versailles. People all over the world should not pretend to be simpletons and act as if I had only discovered this program in 1933, or 1935, or 1937. These gentlemen should only have read what I wrote about myself a thousand times instead of listening to stupid emigre trash. No human being can have stated and written down as often as I what she wanted, and I wrote it again and again: “Away with Versailles!”

As we welcome a new year and a new semester, I hope we can all look forward to brighter days. Sad as I am to be sending this message, my hopes for Harvard remain undimmed. I’m not talking about blind optimism here. I’m talking about something more substantial. It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs. The hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores. The hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta. The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for her too.

When my brief presidency is remembered, I hope it will be seen as a moment of reawakening to the importance of striving to find our common humanity—and of not allowing rancor and vituperation to undermine the vital process of education. I promise to never give you up, to never let you down, to never run around and desert you. To never make you cry, never say goodbye, or tell a lie and hurt you. After my picture fades, and darkness has turned to gray, watching through windows, you’re wondering if I’m okay. If you’re lost you can look and you will find me, time after time.

Sincerely,

Claudine Gay

(She/her)

Attention Nikole Hannah-Jones, your phone may soon ring.

The Ven diagram of “black people� and “highly esteemed scholars with unimpeachable credentials� has small to no overlap.

Glenn Loury? He even taught at Harvard once. And Glenn can actually do math (and have written peer-reviewed articles in economics, probably the most rigorous of the social sciences). Yeah, I know that’s not gonna happen.

If I had to guess, they are going to get an Asian or a subcon or a Middle Easterner. Someone like Shafik at Columbia. There are also some whitish Latinos who are pretty solid. Preferably a woman. And preferably some STEM person whose work is not controversial. There are a lot of female biologists – something like that.

Whatever the ethnicity of the new head of Harvard, the lesson is simple: “don’t be demure about smiting the enemies of the Jews.”

So, contrary to your assertions otherwise, Jews do beat blacks (and black homosexuals) in the racial Pokemon totem pole, huh?

Who has a prominent memorial in the Imperial Capital and who doesn’t again?

This seems like a decent workaround. Any interest in doing this, Steve?

100%. Karlin had a fine workaround. I don’t know why other bloggers don’t use it.

The plagiarism allegations keep coming (and can be proved but also can dismissed as unimportant) but nothing more seems to be happening with the data allegations. She didn’t give up her data at the time that it was questioned and enough years have passed that she can say that the data no longer exists. That it got “lost�. So I don’t think they are going to be able to pin her on that.

You have to understand that there’s a big difference between what happens when they WANT to get you and when they don’t. The faculty already views this as an attack from outside the university and by hated conservatives so this is very much the latter. They will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into this (but that was true of the Corporation also). Ultimately, as much as they love her, the University is more important than any individual, even a black female one, and if she becomes a liability there will come a point where they have to throw her overboard regardless, as the Corporation just did.

This suggests that the principal purpose of Harvard is to be a club for the right sort, rather than a University or other kind of academic institution. What are scholars with fraudulent scholarship, after all? Her field is evidently “blackety-black-black-black” to borrow a phrase from Derb – it’s not a rigorous field and her identity would have been a shield against simply submitting random jargon as her thesis. The fact seems to be that any kind of “blackety-black-black-black” is good enough for Harvard (they’re inadvertently admitting here that the field is bunk and that what matters is its political utility).

Academic dishonesty should be a capital offense at a University like Harvard, and the fact that it isn’t, and that prominent members of the faculty have said as much as “I support her despite the facts because the facts were discovered by people I loathe” is damning for the whole enterprise.

It would appear that there is substantial reason to think that she falsified data in her Doc. thesis. If that turns out to be the case, it is doubtful that she could survive at Harvard in any capacity.

Ideally, you are right, of course. But ideally she should not have been hired in the first place.

Regardless, she seems to have been a-ok with everyone at Harvard before she didn’t condemn forcefully enough Palestinian sympathizers.

This does highlight that there are separate totem poles.

I don’t think this is quite right – it’s rather that multiple parties have been promised the same high position on the totem pole, and the genius of the Democrats’ coalition lies in avoiding conflicts between two or more parties believing themselves to occupy a position higher than the other. Steve points out that a way that this is done is to scapegoat straight white males when the conflicts cannot be totally avoided.

Jews are good coalition participants here because they understand the game and permit unprincipled exceptions from time to time when there is a brewing conflict with blacks – the blacks get a trophy that says “#1 Top Totem Pole Sitter World Champions” and the Jews quietly get the policy or treatment they wanted all along when the conflict has cooled and is forgotten.

Harvard puts it’s own spin on “Don’t say Gay”

For general interest the leftist readers of NYT aren’t impressed with Claudine Gay. This comment got 1400 recommends:

Why did it take so long, and how was somebody with such minimal qualifications ever appointed to this highly prestigious position?

Seems like the board should also be removed for allowing this to happen and supporting her through clear and abundant accusations of plagiarism.

Another:

I work at a university. For over 40 years, I have been on many faculty tenure committees. I have not seen such a weak academic credentials in a candidate – 11 publications? Out of such few publications, so many accusations of plagiarism (irrespective of whether they came from conservative sources)?

She has made it so much more difficult for all future minority candidates. She should have resigned at the first accusation of plagiarism, not after so much of resistance.

There’s a few bleating about “would this have happened to a white Christian man?� but they’re not getting many recommends.

Claudine has had a rough life! Woe is me!

To continue to fight—on the beaches, on the landing grounds, in the fields and in the streets, whatever the cost may be—for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Corporation…

I recognize part of that from Winston Churchill’s WW2 speech: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…�

Never accuse Claudine Gay of being original.

She was set up like a motherfucker.

Since we don’t know who was the anon who kept sending in fresh plagiarism allegations, we don’t know if it was Da Joos that got her. In any case, she apparently gets to keep a $900k salary so she shouldn’t be all broken up about this.

I’m shocked, shocked to find gambling is going on in here!

The only reason Gay is gone is because she wasn’t sufficiently deferential to the people who wanted her to clamp down on the pro-Palestinian protests at Harvard. That’s it.

On to the next question. Who will be her replacement?

How about Lindsey Graham? He has all the qualifications – he can suck a matzah ball through a garden hose.

That’d be a win for the people of South Carolina and the Nation.

What’s amazing in the end is that she got away with this for so many years because no one in academia wants to scrutinize the work of a Woman of Color anyway.

What do you know about academic plagiarism? Anything at all? You were wrong about Penn’s rules on speech and expression. One of the professors whom Gay allegedly borrowed text from has come out saying that what she did does not rise to the level of academic plagiarism.

Her field is evidently “blackety-black-black-black� to borrow a phrase from Derb – it’s not a rigorous field…

According to Wikipedia she was formerly the Wilbur A. Cowett Professor of Government and of African and African-American Studies.

A few of her publications:

“Doubly Bound: The Impact of Gender and Race on the Politics of Black Women”, Political Psychology, co-authored with Katherine Tate

“The Effect of Black Congressional Representation on Political Participation”, American Political Science Review

“Putting Race in Context: Identifying the Environmental Determinants of Black Racial Attitudes”, American Political Science Review

What Derb said.

Chris Rufo is very much in the Eye of Soros right now.

At 93, Soros was conspicuously absent from the predictions of the next year’s passings.

And how sharp can this Eye be? My grandmother lived to 93 and owned up to five houses in Florida. At her demise, there were only two left. We suspect the others were sold to fund multiple cataract surgeries.

The younger Soroses are active, but show the same regression to the mean as the Fords, Rockefellers, etc.

2 is the maximum number of cataract surgeries (one per eye). Once they have removed both of your natural lenses there’s nothing left to remove.

“Doubly bound� the genius reveals the astounding fact that black women are both female sex and black race.

Her black congress critters blather was an astonishing discovery. Something no one, anywhere, ever , thought of. The more black voters there are in a congressional district the more likely they will elect a black congress critter. Galileo Copernicus Einstein; she surpasses them all.

“Putting race in context “ more idiocy piled higher and deeper.

‘What did the Aztecs know from Jews? Think of it more as convergent evolution.’

As JackD already pointed out, totem poles aren’t Aztec — but that leads me to a totally irrelevant observation.

The images do look like the Aztecs or someone could have made them — and don’t South American Indian images look about the same?

Why is that? These are totally distinct cultures, literally a whole continent apart. How come carvings in wood from British Columbian fishermen look like something Olmec corn farmers would have turned out in stone — but not much like anything from the Old World?

It’s almost enough to make one start thinking in terms of racial consciousness or something.

COMMENTS IN MODS

Jack’s entry was comic gold. Thats obviously not her letter, but his parody of what she might really want to write if she thought she could get away with it. . The last paragraph he has Gay quote 80’s pop stars Rick Astley and Cyndi Lauper (hilariously in my opinion). As much as I’ve disagreed with Jack on some stuff, that faux resignation letter was hysterical.

I have to tip my cap: that was some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever read on this website.

I wish Southpark or A Family Guy would make a recurring character out of her, with her actual face split horizontally while speaking like Southpark’s “Terrance and Phillip”. They could even give her a statue that gets torn down by Antifa in an episode while the statue begins to speak great quotes like “This is mah finest hour”, and “I have yet begun to gripe”.

That face on that broad, her area of study, the academic clothing garb (Google pictures of her at a graduation ceremony…….she looks like some kinda nightmarish priestess of a mystery religion), and all her plagiarism. She is a perfect mirror of Academia in 2024. The angels and demons must chuckle together over her.

Or are we to believe that these scoundrels are using their own personal phones to make racist phone calls to Harvard? Come clean Men of Unz, what’s up w/the phone calls?!

‘Something doesn’t add up; why didn’t they run up against the Malthusian trap? War? Infanticide?’

I’d guess war, particularly as there wouldn’t be much to do in between salmon runs. And the importance of those salmon runs would make competition for prime fishing spots extremely intense.

Then too, there might have been periodic famine in any years that the salmon failed to run in sufficient quantity. A dry year, the river’s low and warm, no Fall salmon run — everyone dies.

Salmon just won’t come upriver until the water’s cool enough. If, say, you get an unusually dry, warm Fall, well…

And, of course, this: “Someone’s got it in for me, they’re planting stories in the press. Whoever it is, I wish they’d cut it out quick: but when they will, I can only guess.”

…daughter of Haitian immigrants

I recall it being mentioned. (I didn’t know her sister was a lesbian until this thread.) I imagine press rooms fussed a bit over how much to highlight that angle.

On one hand, “Black immigrant female out competes all flavor of White for top job” is Narrative ecstasy.

On the other hand, not being an American descendant of slaves is fraught, so maybe talk around it, and highlight the pictures.

How about Dylan Mulvaney as president of Hahvahd? True diversity

One of the professors whom Gay allegedly borrowed text from has come out saying that what she did does not rise to the level of academic plagiarism.

This means nothing. Several of the people Gay blatantly plagiarized leapt to her defence, but this was clearly for ideological reasons, not because she didn’t ‘rise to the level’.

Gay’s plagiarism was wide-ranging and systematically executed. There’s no possibility she didn’t know what she was doing. It’s also very likely her dissertation supervisor knew, and certainly possible others (such as journal reviewers) did as well.

Whether or not it was the plagiarism or the congressional testimony that got her pushed out of her job is immaterial to the question of whether or not she plagiarized. She absolutely did. She just never expected — for extremely good reasons — that she would be held to the same standards as non-black scholars in her field.

Their consolation: we tried to do good, but the world is so harsh.

Maybe, as in the George Santos world, it’s grifters from top to bottom.

From the Free Beacon: “In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar…”

If she’s plagiarizing, then she’s not a scholar.

Also, I take issue with this newspaper’s use of the word “impacted.” The word they should have used is “affected.” As in “Seven of Gay’s published works have been AFFECTED.”

People are using the word “impacted” too much and in the wrong context. I guess I could look on the bright side. At least they didn’t use “impactful,” one of the most annoying words ever created.

Why is that? These are totally distinct cultures, literally a whole continent apart. How come carvings in wood from British Columbian fishermen look like something Olmec corn farmers would have turned out in stone — but not much like anything from the Old World?

What can I say? Moshkovsky had a really long peddling route..

Something doesn’t add up; why didn’t they run up against the Malthusian trap? War? Infanticide?

Yet more evidence for the Moshkovsky hypothesis.

How would that be better for anyone?

She wouldn’t be able to graduate, judging by how hard it was for her to produce even that tiny amount of articles; gone would be the profesorship and the presidency.

The mentor would 1 or 2 fewer publications, an adjunct slave less, and eventually fewer graduates.

The department and the university would have been accused of discrimination, and lose time defending themselves and / or money on lawyers.

Now, even with the harshest punishments Harvard may apply, Gay is still left with the gains of two decades of professorship, her salary being 800 thousand USD a year, before the presidency job. She can stop “working” now, and still provide comfortable lives to her progeny.

In the West, plagiarism is in the eye of the beholder. Ursula von der Leyden plagiarized her dissertation and became the chairwoman of Europe.

Their lot have been bombing children’s wards for two months, organized an open-air concentration camp for 5 decades, and you think they care about group optics.

Sounds more like the Great Leap Forward that happened at Northeastern.

It’s only a matter of time before we get the first article from Hannah or one of her ilk saying this has been a high-tech lynching. Or is that phrase verboten since it was used originally by Clarence Thomas?

I know Jack seems to be taking credit for this one by not putting it in quotes but the faux resignation letter is from the Free Becon.

Eh, I already got an email listing the short list.

Nope, not telling.

And predictably, but annoyingly, it doesn’t include me.

So, this qualifies her for the US Senate, right?

Only if she is disabled by a stroke.

“Take this job and shove it.”-Claudine Gay

Who’s next? Why…it’s “minorities” all-the-way-down.

The Ford Falcon looks very attractive compared to the (former) president of Harvard.

Of course, much of the thread is taken up with stupid Joobabble.

One salient feature is something everyone assumes, probably correctly: that nothing said and done will be so in good faith. Our professional-managerial stratum, and the higher ed component thereof in particular, is populated with chronic liars. I don’t think this was true eighty years ago. How did this happen?

Thanks to his dad, Rooney can’t get tired of Tomlin.

Northeastern just had a longer wait for the right person in charge than their neighboring schools, BU with John Silber and BC with Father Monan.

The lowly Falcon was dressed up and became the fabulous Mustang. My guess is that Gay, in spite of being stupid, hateful and dishonest, will do all right for herself.

But we know, from ChatGTP no less that:

“The phrase “the bottom of the totem pole” is often used to refer to someone or something in a low or inferior position. However, the original meaning of totem poles in many Native American cultures is quite different. In these cultures, the bottom of the totem pole is actually considered the most important position, as it represents the foundation and support for the rest of the totem pole. ”

So stop short changing the Bagelist.

The power arrangement in Totems is a rare moment of cultural insight from the Natives, The lowest supports the rest.

Harvard President Claudine Gay is succeeded by interim president Alan Garber.

Garber is a Jewish critic of Harvard's weak stance on antisemitism and supporter of DEI initiatives.

How do you like to be wrong all the time? Feel free to resume your Jewish triumphalism at any time.

Fair enough but Rick’s Cafe Americain doesn’t get an automatic annual appropriation from Congress, nor are its sales tax exempt.

In default of a suitable and willing black scholar, perhaps Harvard will settle for a Jewish tranny

Dude, tranny is not the preferred nomenclature. Transgender, please. Anyway, my 16yo son suggested that part, and I said I thought the Corporation would feel the need to appoint a Jew for obvious reasons, and my wife said maybe a black Jewish trans woman would be best. So: Beta Israeli trans ftw…

Or perhaps not. It since occurred to me that given Claudine Gay’s new status as the Pope John Paul I of the Harvard Presidency, the Harvard Corporation could maybe come to an arrangement with the Vatican whereby the remains of the short-lived Pontiff are freed from their crypt and dolled up to be wheeled out at Commencement and other such events in the manner of Jeremy Bentham’s auto-icon.

There’s precedent there, so that’s a big plus. And while recent events do show that corpses are no longer uncancellable, at least it will be universally understandable when the new President of Harvard stays mute in the face of tendentious questioning at Congressional hearings: he definitely won’t be shooting his mouth off so will need no legal counsel–a real money-saver. Also, thanks to Chat GPT, we can get fundraising letters in his inimitable voice, no longer gone too soon.

Either that or maybe a horse.

Oh, the irony, given the subject matter…

I have to tip my cap: that was some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever read on this website.

That’s not his original work. He copied that from a publication and made it seem like it was his writing.

With the incredible mass of rich foreign students, it is interesting to see NYU, BU, BC and Northeastern, which all used to be commuter schools, now are tougher to get into than the ivies were a generation ago.

Although for some of those schools a top hockey player can still get in just as well now as back in the old days

Correction: Roxane Gay is Claudine’s cousin, not her sister. My mistake.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxane_Gay

Spouse: Debbie Millman ​(m. 2020)​
Relatives: Claudine Gay (cousin)

Serious? You described rot we should expunge.

She should have graduated with that mark on her record. She should not have had the professorship or the presidency. Those positions should have gone to someone else.

Her mentor would have known what to watch for, if he would have even taken her on. Could have taken someone else, or had fewer graduates; thus freeing resources for the next best opportunity.

Her gains and salary look like misspent resources; should have gone to the party that lost out when she was advanced.

By now, they have forgotten who first used the phrase, so it is good to go.

The NYU Violets?

The slippery slope looks to be a thing; there’s an ongoing battle against decline and erosion.

Several have come to the conclusion that we need regular revolutions to cleanse the system. But now the revolutions have been hacked, and entrench even more the grifters.

He’s the current provost. That’s the person who fills in when the office of president is vacant. That’s true pretty much everywhere.
