[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very interesting how quickly the fact that she may have plagiarized is attributed to "diversity."  How about she plagiarized because she plagiarized.  Why does it have to be connected to the fact that she is black?

Check yourselves.  Bias creeps in before one knows it.

She is neither the first---nor the last---person who plagiarized or inaccurately attributed (e.g. Ron DeSantis attributing a quote to Churchill that came off of a beer can and that Churchill never made!).

I wrote an article for The Washington Post on how we live now in a world where so much is lifted off the internet and shared without attribution that kids and adults think this is the norm.

I am not excusing Gay's actions nor saying that she should not have faced consequences.  But why does her failure have to be because of "diversity," code for black?

It doesn’t, but she was clearly not sufficiently vetted before being hired.   Very weak academic production should have been the first tip off something was amiss.  If not for the October attack in Israel, and Gay’s inability to effective respond, the Harvard Board would have been successful in achieving DEI success. [/quote]

Of course, it all comes back to Israel.  Everybody, no matter how much Israel affects them in everyday life, must have a response to 10/7, and if it isn't sufficiently pro-Israel, then it's ineffective and you should be fired from your job amd cast out of society.[/quote]

Uh, no. It was her pathetic testimony on the hill that opened her up to wider scrutiny. As soon as folks started to do real diligence on her credentials, the wheels came off. Sorry, but the proverbial emperor had no clothes. [/quote]
