The entire country has gone nuts. Everything is a “social justice” battle. And course curriculums now focus on “oppressors” and “oppressed”. So we have an entire generation digesting this stuff and the next 20 years will be interesting.

TLDR; Everyone is an idiot.

As one writer put it, is Claudine Gay the hill that progressives really want to die on? She's not worth it.

I think you'd have to be terminally online to believe that Claudine Gay is anything like a household word among progressives.

Among rank and file progressive voters? No, I agree.

But look who jumped to her defense?

- Al Sharpton
- President Obama

Among progressive leaders, she was and is well-known and respected.

DP, btw.

Can you provide a link to President Obama’s defense of Claudine Gay? I googled and did not find one.

It was reported he lobbied several Board members on her behalf, not that he wrote some oped sonewhere.

Since when was oped spelled d e f e n s e?

Rather, from the mendacious questioning in Congress through the explicit marshaling of billionaire donors, the effort all along was to rule out of order any consideration of criticism of Israel by American universities.
The evidence for this is overwhelming: the questioning in Congress conflated any support for the rights of Palestinians as "support for genocide"; the billionaire movement condemning all three testifying university administrators for providing boiler-plate defense of First-Amendment-protected free speech was targeted, not only at the administrators, but even more on students who had signed a petition which the billionaires found offensive.

Well, some don’t want to waste an opportunity for outrage and to blame Jews for yet another thing they don’t actually control.

Well every news story says she was forced to resign because of antisemitism.

And just because they're right wingers doesn't mean they are wrong. I mean you can see the passages side-by-side and see she plagiarized.
And how incredible it was in her resignation letter to argue she has upheld "academic rigor" at Harvard.

Left wingers did review her work during peer-review but they ignored the plagiarism and decided to lower standards so she could lead Harvard. Gay didn't even attempt to defend her scholarship against their mild charges of plagiarism, she knew she was going to move up regardless.

It's also that Gay has published only 11 "scholarly" articles (several of which were plagiarized). This is a glaringly small number for a tenured professor. The Harvard provost who is now serving as interim university president has published over 10 times that number.

I'd be surprised if recently departed Purdue president, Mitch Daniels had published even one scholarly article.

Harvard used to be in a class far beyond Purdue where any comparison would be ridiculous. Yes, people want to see a legitimately incredible person lead an organization like Harvard. Now Harvard seems like a place rich liberal people send their children for foolish indoctrination and is comparable to Liberty.

Harvard = Liberty meets Purdue, per dcum "progressives"

I mean Harvard is kind of acting like that. Though I’d just say straight up Liberty. No need to smear the good name of Purdue.

She is a famous anti-Semite.

This country just hates Jews so much that even being a raging anti-Semite who went into the House floor to spew her anti-Semitic and anti-Israel message wasn’t enough to get her rightfully fired and/or arrested. It took plagiarism charges.

Yes! During her time she over saw the decline of Jewish enrollment at Harvard from 23% to 10%. This is totally unacceptable! The next President will be a lot more pro Israeli and get these number up by removing DEI and wokeness in the admissions process.

Say what now?
Jews are 2% of the US population but 23% of Harvard? That can’t be right.

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/admissions/2023/05/08/jewish-student-enrollment-down-many-ivies

Defeating the university quota system was one of the most celebrated civil-rights battles of the 20th Century. These quotas were usually around 10%, and were implemented after they reached 20% of the population at some schools.

Take that into account when talking about diversity at these schools.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, a Jewish news wire service, reported in 1967 that Jewish students had reached high numbers at the Ivies after decades of low enrollments. The news outlet cited a New York Times survey at the time, which found that the student bodies at Columbia University and University of Pennsylvania were 40 percent Jewish. Jewish student populations at Harvard, Yale and Cornell were estimated to be between 20 and 25 percent, while those at Dartmouth, Princeton and Brown hovered between 13 and 20 percent.

And, her very professional and articulate response.

You know that you struck a chord when they go after your wife, in this case my love and partner in life,
@NeriOxman
.

I am one of the most fortunate people in the universe in large part because of Neri.

Please see her post below about today’s Business Insider piece about her dissertation. Part of what makes her human is that she makes mistakes, owns them, and apologizes when appropriate.

Neri, a former tenured professor at
@MIT
, is the author of 74 peer-reviewed papers, eight peer-reviewed book chapters, and numerous other journal papers and proceedings.

She has been awarded 15 patents for various innovations, and her work has been featured in 116 exhibitions around the world including two recent retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art and SF MoMA.

If you would like to learn more about Neri, I encourage you to watch her podcast with Lex Fridman:

She might also be up to 50 instances of plagiarism once the perpetually-online brigades go through her academic writings. Stay tuned.
