"We should note that Claudine Gay has not been accused of stealing anyone's ideas in any of her writings. She has been accused of sort of more like copying other peoples writings without attribution. So it's been more sloppy attribution than stealing anyone's ideas."
If only there was a term for that.........

+1 Where did Steve Guest obtain his education?!

I think you are referencing Matt Egan (College of NJ).

Steve Guest simply posted the insane explanation by Egan.

Ahhh thanks! I'll admit I didn't read carefully.

No. They need to do an extensive search and hire someone based on MERIT.
No more hiring people due to inherent or arbitrary attributes.

Her “inherent and arbitrary attribute” was:

- she has been extremely oppressed her entire life. Her writings - even the plagiarized ones - all focus on how oppressed any and every Black person is, and especially if they are female.

Look what she presided over at Harvard: this is from the mandatory Title IX introduction for all entering Harvard freshmen:



Do you find that chart as ridiculous as I do?

But, it is not a joke, nor are these ideas exclusive to Harvard.

I am applauding her ouster on so many levels.

The nature of the Internet results in me reading lots of stuff that I don't really care about.

What is it that stimulates your comment? Could it be the cramps that promise to result in one of those two shits?

So Stefanik et al’s hearing was never about anti-semitism. It was really about dismantling DEI. Let’s see who they go after next.

No, it was about antiSemitism.

But it exposed the ridiculous ends to which the cult of DEI has led our society.

Because that's the reason such an unqualified person was hired to begin with.

What's the reason? Your use of the word "that" is ambiguous.

I recognize that you’re trying to embarrass the PP or force them to “be loud about their racism” or whatever but I’m a minority woman and I’ll do it. DEI politics (specifically the perceived need to choose a Black woman) was very obviously the reason this person was chosen to lead Harvard. And why she lasted as long as she did, with Harvard’s support, even after credible allegations of plagiarism were made. A white president would have either shared the same fate as Liz Magill (Penn) after the hearing or would have been forced to resign after the first plagiarism allegations.

I actually don’t have a problem with her handling of the Israel/Palestine issue and these allegations were pretty obviously dug up by well-funded pro-Israel donors as revenge, which is pretty crappy. And I was actually pro-Harvard keeping her in place to send a message to donors that they don’t run the university. But the PP’s original point stands.

Feel free to call me racist. I really don’t care.

Claudine Gay is not the problem.

She is a symptom of a much larger disease plaguing this country.

94% of new corporate jobs went to people of color despite whites making up 60% of the country.

Healthcare, the military, airline pilots.

Race-based hiring has infected every last institution and industry in this country.

Sooner or later, we will all be feeling the consequences of abandoning merit.

Thanks for the response. I don't know you from Adam, so I wouldn't call you racist.

But, if PP was trying to say "[Being a black woman] is the reason such an unqualified person was hired to begin with," the argument falls apart pretty quickly - so maybe he meant something else. It falls apart quickly because this is just one position and there are millions of black women in the world. Surely some number of them are qualified. If Harvard was dead set on hiring black woman as President for the position, the University has enough pull that I'm sure it could induce one of the qualified women to take the job.

In another context, wouldn’t this arguably be viewed as disparate impact evidence of discrimination?

So glad she's gone! Should have been fired instead of allowed to resign, but it's good this a##hole is out.

That 60% is bs. Most Hispanics are either fully or half white. Race-based hiring is bs because it is bs.

And yet democrats are behind it, and support it.

It is not the republicans doing all the racial discrimination in hiring here. It is democrats.

Do you go to Harvard? Or does your emotional investment in this position come from some other source?
