Don We Now Our Gay Apparel: Harvard Continues to Cover for Gay

Harvard University has had its share of press in the past few years. In a landmark Supreme Court decision, Harvard’s practice of illegally discriminating against the most qualified students based on their race was forced to an end. Read more about the decision here: en.wikipedia.org...
Then we had 31 Harvard student groups sign and release a statement in the days following the filmed rape, torture, and murder of over one thousand Israeli citizens that led off with this:
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.”
Which, along with a history of antisemitism which predated the current crisis (www.cnn.com... www.algemeiner.com...), prompted Congress’s House Education and Workforce Committee to invite the President of Harvard, Dr. Claudine Gay, to Congress to testify.

In the following clip, presidents of MIT, U Penn, and Harvard claim they need to know the context before they could assert that calling for the genocide of Jews violates the bullying and harrassment policy at the school.

In a support letter, a Harvard law professor agreed that there are some contexts within which calling for the genocide of Jews does not violate Harvard’s bullying and harrassment policy (if you are not sure why the above is abhorrent, I invite you to replace “Jews” with any of the protected intersectionalities in the US and imagine which context would make it appropriate to call for their genocide):
www.msn.com...

SNL sided with the presidents who couldn’t find it in them to admit that calling for the genocide of Jews constitutes bullying and harassment against their Jewish population, depicting the questioner as the crazy shrew and the stunned presidents as innocent ingenues who unwittingly had wandered into a trap:


Understandably, there has been some backlash regarding this incident. Many were calling for the resignation of the three woke presidents, and U Penn’s ex-President Liz Magill has already done so.

Now for the funny part, and the inspiration for this opinion piece:
The spotlight on President Gay has unveiled several cases of direct plagiarism in her work. Not only did she lift direct quotes from her sourced work, in some cases she failed to cite them entirely.

Part of my job is to recognize what constitutes plagiarism and enforce the penalties. Anyone who has spent any amount of time in academia knows what paraphrase does and does not mean, and the consequences of plagiarizing work. Suddenly, Harvard, an institution once considered to be among the top in the nation, doesn’t know exactly what constitutes plagiarism, and how many words an author can steal from another with no quotes, no attribution, and no use of synonyms or change in phrasing or structure. In a letter rallying support for President Gay, Harvard states:
“While the analysis found no violation of Harvard’s standards for research misconduct, President Gay is proactively requesting four corrections in two articles to insert citations and quotation marks that were omitted from the original publications.”

So now we have a precedent. Students are permitted to take direct phrases and quotes from a source, without citation, and copy them into their own work with no repercussions and no problem so long as when they’re caught they retroactively add quotes and sources to their work.

Once again, Harvard is proudly leading academia in the left direction.

There were people warning about the brainwashing at our universities for years.

No one wanted to believe it.

We've got large portions of the student bodies celebrating rape and murder. It's not just a couple of idiots.

Yes this woman should be fired but she's the tip of the iceberg. It's so big I don't know how you fix it.

In a thread I'm working on, titled;

Don We Now Our Gay Apparel: Harvard Continues to Cover for Gay

I talk about plagiarism quite a bit.

a reply to: DBCowboy

I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of that title.

Is it bad to LOL at your own jokes if nobody hears you?

I'm sure Soros is already working on her replacement

I was forced to google it.

Intersectionality is an analytical framework for understanding how individuals' various social and political identities result in unique combinations of discrimination and privilege.

There's no such thing as "unique combinations" of discrimination. It is occurring, or it's not occurring. Treating any shade of privilege different is, itself, a form of privilege and ranking wrongs and reparations is just perpetuating the struggle for true equality instead of protected intersectionality which feels like a fancy way to say, you're the most victimest victim that ever victimed so here's a lifelong pity pass in case anyone wants to make your life harder. A pass very few get, those few including trans and BLM.

Which is discrimination, if that's not clear.

The woman she plagiarized from was in the news a few days ago. She's pissed and wants Gay to step down. She's a black woman too, and says that if it were a white man who plagiarized, they'd be gone already.

MSN - Harvard Attempting to Redefine Plagiarism to Protect President Gay

Scholar and political scientist Carol Swain called for embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay to step down after the school’s highest governing body stood by her despite admitting a probe found "instances of inadequate citation" in her academic writings.

"Claudine Gay needs to step down. Obviously, the Harvard Corporation did not have the courage to fire its first Black president, someone who should never have been elevated in the first place," Swain, a retired Vanderbilt University professor, told Fox News Digital. Swain's work was among the academic literature allegedly lifted by Gay in past writings without proper citation, according to reports last week.

Only a food baby.

Education needs more strong masculine leaders and fewer clay footed feminised ones.

Well this what happen when the trash with diplomas get to be in positions of power in places of what is been "called" higher. education.

Harvad has turned into trash taking money from foreign groups and allowing agendas fill their curriculum.

Yep Harvard is nothing but trash.

Many people are surprised Harvard President Gay hasn't claimed Native American heritage too. 😃

Agreed. A writer for the WSJ said that Harvard and about a dozens other big universities have become hedge funds with schools attached to them. Harvard has an endowment of $50 billion. These universities have hundreds of DEI and other specialized racial and gender equity department employees making 6-figure salaries. Some universities have more DEI staff than they do history professors. The average university faculty is about 4-5% DEI specialists.

This is from a few years ago: Yale investments made hedge fund managers $480 million, three times what Yale spent on student assistance and fellowships. Source

Considering our current Pres. Biden is an accomplished plagerist....it is pretty clear where the left stands on academic integrity.

Lets not forget Harvard led the way hiring native american scholars like Elizabeth Warren.

a reply to: ColeYounger2

Does harvard is even American anymore?

Carnegie Mellon University received the most from foreign entities in that time span at $1.47 billion while Cornell University scooped up $1.29 billion, Harvard University notched $894 million and MIT collected $859 million, according to the report.

How come is not congressional hearings to find out where the money is coming from.

Why will communist, totalitarian and apartheid countries funneling money to our most "prestigious universities".

Doesn't that bother anybody.

The jewish community should sue harvard for encouraging murder.

Lol Harvard is just a lost cause

a reply to: zosimov

Plagiarism is all okay nowadays. This is not my opinion but what I derived from our own German politicians.

So many were caught plagiarizing and in the last few years, not one was held accountable for it. Gutenberg, a former defens minister, had to step down but nowadays, it is reported in media and then the media will find something different to distract. They all are big wigs and some even went to Harvard and that other one I currently can not remember. WEF aligned, too.

Some of these are:

Ursula von der Leyen, current sitting EU president
Angela Merkel, former German Dictatoress
Annalena Baerbock, current sitting head of ministry of foreign affairs
Ricarda Lang, current sitting and reigning head of the Green party

What all those four have in common, too, is they did and are all four, still doing their best to destroy our country. It is also very easy to see how the institutions from University to language keepers and dictionaries, will do their best to bend and twist definition whenever it fits the progressive agenda, while being adamant about everyone else.
