Harvard is not firing their first black president. Even if she needs to contextualize genocide.
But this debacle and support for Hamas is going to have carry on effects. The number of early applicants to Harvard was already down by nearly 20 points this year. It'll be significantly more next year. Jews don't feel welcome. Asians don't feel welcome. Unless you are a very well to do and privileged wokey wokey white, Harvard is probably not a great place. And the number of applications will reflect that |
Somehow I think Harvard will survive and maintain its acceptance rate in the single digits. |
This. My company prefers to hire state flagship graduates. |
And she plagiarized as well. Wow Harvard’s standards have plummeted. |
She’s the poster child for why hiring based on race & sex is not a good idea, & is embarrassing an institution that previously seemed invulnerable. It’s time for her to find a reason to want to spend more time with her family and step away while she still has a shred of dignity left. |
30 years after the fact, I would like to request corrections to my high school record so I can be admitted to Harvard. How does one do that? It seems like Gay can correct whatever the hell she wants. Is she going to let students who were expelled for plagiarism make corrections and come back? |
This would be great for meritocracy and leveling of inequality, but I wouldn't exactly hold my breath that it'll happen. |
Harvard was never built on meritocracy - ever! She shouldn't resign. Everyone wants Campus Free Expression until something is said that they don't like. |
Gay just requested to make changes to her prior citations ( or omissions of citations) after she was already allowed to do so previously. She is so stupid that she cannot even fix her mistake properly and needs another “opportunity “ to do so. Truly deprived person. |
The true scandal is that she only has 11 published academic works to her credit. That wouldn't be enough to become an adjunct at most universities, much less President of ostensibly the leading U.S. university. |
Harvard sucks. We only hire University of Phoenix grads. |
Harvard doesn't use the word "plagiarized." Please use the correct terminology: "duplicative language without appropriate attribution." ![]() |
Hopefully, they didn't use "duplicative language" for those online degrees. |
No language was duplicated in pursuit of a U of Phoenix degree! only numbers on the check to this fine institution. |
And what does Harvard require when it comes to plagiarism ... I mean duplicative language! |
