Harvard cleared its president Claudine Gay of plagiarism before it even investigated whether her academic work was copied, The Post reveals today.
In a threatening legal letter to The Post in late October, the college called allegations that she lifted other academics’ work “demonstrably false,” and said all her works were “cited and properly credited.”
Days later Gay herself asked for an investigation and Harvard tore up its own rules to ask outside experts to review her work, saying it had to avoid a conflict of interest.
And the experts then found she did need to make multiple corrections to her academic record.
The bare-knuckled law firm Harvard employed to try to keep the plagiarism allegations from ever coming to light told The Post it would sue for “immense” damages.
Harvard never revealed an investigation had been launched as the lawyers put pressure on The Post to kill its reporting.
But more than a month later, on December 12 Harvard said Gay had been investigated by its top governing body and was correcting two academic journals, to acknowledge where her work had really come from — meaning the claim it was “properly credited” was false.
As if being a smug anti-Semite wasn’t reason enough to fire her.
Harvard then took plagiarism seriously — and in one way still does, disciplining dozens of students every year for this gravest of academic sins. Even transgressions falling short of plagiarism could still constitute “misuse of sources,” for which a year’s probation and suspension from participation in extracurricular activities were the usual response. Plagiarists, meanwhile — those who had lifted someone else’s language without quotation marks or citation — were bounced from the college for a year, during which time they were required to work at a nonacademic job (no year-long backpacking trip) and refrain from visiting Cambridge. They would be readmitted after submitting a statement that examined their original misdeed and reflected on it.
Maybe there’s an explanation after all.
And still more.
Copy that.
Did Neil Kinnock get credit for dementia Joes life?? i thought not. no calling the kettle black here without checking upstairs.
When even The Atlantic throws you under the bus…
Not that I give a damn about Ivy league schools in general but I knew something was terribly twisted with Harvard when they admitted gun grabbing commie and dumber than a bag of rocks David Hogg.
1270 on his SAT when the bottom 25% of students at Harvard is North of 1400. Not exactly splitting the atom.
Right up there with “Clock Boy” getting an invite from MIT.
No doubt stealing from privileged, educated oppressors.
It appears to have been black-on-black crime. Black Republicans are doubtless also oppressors.
But Gay has so many equity, diversity, ect points and everyone knows that cancels small things of less importance like plagiarism and antisemitism.
Her points won’t ultimately matter if the brewing donor revolt gathers momentum.
We’ll just have to see how many hundreds of millions Harvard’s board is willing to sacrifice at the altar of wokedom. My guess is that she’ll quit in a few weeks.
Will her replacement be an old white guy? Could get interesting.
Not a chance. Democrats may look at this as an opportunity to park that most sophisticated and educated of minorities Kamala Harris somewhere she can do less damage to American Marxism.
She might, maybe, have to go nuclear and throw down the transitioning card. It seems the vagina, black cards are power weak.
The racism of low expectations.
This also clears up the question of why Obama knows so little about the law – he took his law degree at that bastion of anti-Asian racism Harvard.
In this morning news. Guess to helped her get the job. Yep Obama strikes again.
O’Butthole strikes again!
This whole administration is full of garbage A-holes that should be in insane asylums.
Talk of Genocide
There are currently two conversations taking place about genocide with regard to Israel and Palestine.
One is a proper legal and political discussion about the killing of more than twenty thousand people and the destruction of vast swathes of the Gaza Strip.[…]
[the other]
Supporters of Israel’s onslaught see the threat of genocide not in Gaza but on American university campuses, sometimes hallucinating genocidal speech where it simply does not exist.

Of course, obozo, the emperor of affirmative action, comes racing to her rescue. This is the tip of the whole rotten ice berg and he’s at the top.
Obama the Supremo??
Colour me white and shocked!!
Never would have guessed.
Do I need the sarc/ really?
Learn to ctrl-c and ctrl-v and you too can have a PhD.
With each passing day it looks more and more like Claudine Gay is the Michael de Guzman of Blackademia.
Obama, the Magic Negro who keeps on sprinkling his fairy dust and turning everything to shyte. He was the affirmative action prez, so it’s no wonder he supports other affirmative action losers.
The most shocking thing about the Post article is the revelation that Gay is married to a man, although judging from his pic, just barely (his soy is showing).
So, she is the KGB supervisor at Harvard
