[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think her comments at the hearing got everyone looking at her (and the other two presidents)  --  but it was the evidence of pervasive plagiarism that actually did her in. [/quote]

I agree.

The real scandal here is how come she was hired to begin with. Would have taken 5 minutes to properly vet her.

Nepotism, racism, or both?[/quote]

It's not difficult to see Gay was (and still is) everything that was wrong about the DEI movement. Elevating highly unqualified and mediocre talent into senior roles and fast tracking people simply because of the need to fill an identity gap. Her academic history is weaker than a typical community college adjunct professor and yet she made tenure at elite universities, and she will retain her yearly salary of $900,000.   And she is part of a pattern that includes Kamala Harris and some of Biden's vastly under-qualified appointees.

It is a pattern of corruption.

This form of corruption isn't unique to DEI. The same pattern happened in the Soviet Union as people with the right ideology were promoted over more capable talent. It happened in the aristocratic regimes where noblemen were appointed to high offices due to the title, not talent. Hopefully this means going forward people will be wiser as to the risks of failing people upward.[/quote]

So because she plagaraized, she was a bad candidate. I agree. Will you say the same thing about Justice Alito, who also plagarized?[/quote]

Link that Alito plagiarized?

You might be referring to Gorsuch, but what he did in the footnote (borrowing language from a secondary source about facts of a legal case, not legal analysis, and properly citing the primary source) is quite different from what Gay did (taking language to pass a theory off as her own without citation).

Also Gorsuch’s alleged “plagiarism” (it wasn’t) was consistent with accepted legal practice. It’s not at all like what Gay did. [/quote]
