Its funny how successful companies and universities keep saying they need "agents of change" - what, they want to change to be unsuccessful ? Change for change sake is an action without a plan.
How does Harvard explain her position and salary to students who are held to a higher ethical standard than her and would be expelled for violating the Codes of Conduct she broke?
Excellent point. How she was appointed to be president of Harvard with just 11 articles is beyond 'affirmative action'. What a dreadful excuse of a person.
The story I was taught as to why we should promote diversity was that it would allow unique and brilliant voices to expand our appreciation for the wonders of life. The reality is this DEI hurts everyone and just makes minorities look incompetent thus fueling existing negative stereotypes.
I was told somothing similar but that it was to allow for diversity of more opinions. But it turns out that you have to have the same opinion as everyone else or you aint oppressed.
I underwent the same journey. At first seeing nothing wrong with the concept. Whether it was designed at the outset to be thin-end-of-the wedge I am now wondering. Perhaps it was sinister social engineering and orchestrated desensitizing against resistance to change. Trudeau always told Canada “diversity is our strength”. During his recent Christmas address he said: “[Let’s…] find strength in our differences”. See how the message has changed. Now it seems the burden has been shifted. Now it’s OUR (Canadians) job, effort, energies that must be harnessed to reap the promised benefits which were heretofore heralded as understood, self-evident and automatic. Before, it was presented as Diversity = Strength. This has morphed into: all citizens have to just work harder to find strength in the morass of increasing social tensions and despair. None of those negatives are the government’s fault of course.
@@billr3053 I had a similar experience at my job where I worked with a bunch of women and I got stuck with all the heavy lifting FOR THE SAME PAY. There was nothing about their diversity that added to the job. There was nothing they could do that I couldn't do just as well and because of my physical strength I could also in some cases do it better. I was more valuable to the corporate machine but I had to basically worker harder for the same pay so they could have an easier shift. The corporate world has conflicting values when you introduce this DEI stuff. You can't claim efficiency is important in a physical job and then hire a 4 foot tall Asian girl. She just can't keep up so the extra weight gets put on the men. Resentment will eventually build up if you are paying the same but it's obvious who's actually contributing the most.
Yes I agree and I think I it's very funny, people like Claudine Gay who live in Glass houses really shouldn't throw stones as rocks return sometimes as boulders, exposed as a racist and of presenting others peoples ideas and hard work as her own, such a wonderful example to those she teaching., parents consider this before sending your offspring to Harvard
Nonsense. They knew about it and overlooked it. If we look into the works of all these esteemed people in academia, I'm betting plagiarism is the norm.
Plagiarism on a journal is not a crime. Murder is a crime and Trump lawyers argued that a sitting President cannot be charged with murder if he murders during his presidency.
It was known. It was covered up to promote a narrative. The ironic part was that a significant amount of the work she took was from other black professors who actually did the work.
The got rid of Fryer because they knew that children educated according to evidence shown inhis research, would score way too high when it came to entrance exams to Harvard, and would never tolerate the inane and adulterated course materials on offer, throwing a very inconvenient wrench into the madness of the methodology of their madness, i.e. progressive demeritocratization in the name of the mediocratizatation of equality so no one will want to be equal, I assume.
If anybody believes De-notso-Nice and the Trump have not plagiarized at Yale and U Penn, you’re really kidding yourself. Trump is even plagiarizing Hitler in speeches!
I thinks it's a good thing. Imagine the resentment that will now build up. I feel sorry for American tax payers that give research grants to Harvard but parents and students that pay to go there after knowing exactly what the place is like deserve to have their money squandered.
I mean what Person with any self respect would continue working there day after day after all that has happened? I would just take my severance and would be seen no where near that university. The woman has balls.
DEI by nature is racist and discriminatory as preferential treatment to a particular individual or sector based on skin colour, ethnic group and sex. The essence should be on the contrary, namely no preference should be given to avoid outcome discriminatory and selection or provision to be based on meritocracy.
It's a lot of work to put together a video. Even though others have covered this story, many people appreciate hearing from you on the Claudine Gay fiasco. One of the many ironies here is that Harvard hasn't learned its lesson.
All 3 presidents/school/board committed Sin of Omission by not denoucing, inciting and not protecting all the Students. Would love to see them all criminally charged
Here’s the thing: nobody is ever disciplined for their hypocrisy, citing free speech when it comes to calling Israel an apartheid regime, but viewing as actionable hate speech when I refuse to use someone’s preferred pronouns. In fact, you get promoted for that: Claudine Gay. But copying even the thank you notes, that’s a red flag if there ever was one: CG is all activist, zero academic. Even Harvard won’t tolerate being infiltrated by insurgents to that degree. All I will say is that Harvard was so badly provoked by the recent SCOTUS decision banning racial quotas, finding Harvard egregiously guilty of breaking the law, that people reacted foolishly, were hoisted by their own petard. For me, personally, the CG debacle has been a bonus beyond my wildest dream. At this moment, Harvard is in the toilet, not just near it. Very few people understand that Harvard deserves to be flushed down even for the rubric invented to achieve their demographic goals, DEI. To do it, they created a totally subjective personality test that failed Asian students, as needed, thinned them out. Only then, Harvard claimed, did the admissions process truly begin! If this is not completely pathological, I don’t know what is. However, it is useful when it comes to understanding the mindset behind CG’s tenure: ignore obvious weakness in the process, because the result is so desperately desired. Think of it like this: criminals reason that they don’t have a problem unless they’re caught.

Some aggressive law office should collect the names of students and faculty who have been dismissed from Harvard for plagiarism over the last decade or two and file a class action lawsuit, demanding compensation for lost salary, legal fees, reputation damage, emotional hardship, and punitive damages from Harvard and explicitly compare the plaintiffs' infractions with those of Gay, who was not fired from Harvard and receives a $900k/year salary.

Among other things, people should be asking how is it that DEI machinery was invented, accepted, and installed in our university system. And how quickly. It is a VIRUS - and might never be eradicated.
I think this story highlights the bigger issue of DEI: we're just checking a box to make sure we have enough students of this colour or that gender without asking if they really belong at Harvard. Used to be merit got you into Harvard. Turns out being born the correct colour/race/gender/etc. is the real way to get into Harvard and get to the top because once you've checked all those boxes, merit doesn't matter. And for anyone defending Claudine Gay, let me ask you this: how much "context" do you need before genocide is okay? I'd love to hear your answers - I'm sure they're going to out of this world.
Once again she is proof that “if you can’t do, you teach”, these are the types of people teaching, never had a real job, only worked in the institution she studied in.
It’s so sad that we have treated this young lady so poorly. Leading her to believe she can achieve lofty goals merely by the color of her skin and not by the hard work and content of her character. We have done her a disservice.
Sir, Trump is a white grievance insurrectionist diversity hire who has plagiarized Hitler twice in the last few weeks not 20 yrs ago. His ex-wife said that he kept Hitler’s writing next to his bed. He even filed a legal brief that he never pledge allegiance to the constitution. and plagiarizing Hitler in speeches!
People are extremely tribal in my opinion, that's why all these college educated people, the media etc tend to defend her even though her papers would get her kicked out if she were a student. Also, people get invested and personally attached to a narrative, retracting it can be very costly. The deeper we dig in the more costly it is, it all just ends up reinforcing the most insane BS.
How could the board not be completely incompetent for not vetting her for possible plagiarism before hiring her when it would come out as such a mark against the Universities. I thought it was known even before they hired her that there were some ,,problems,, in that regard.
That still wouldn't excuse the board for going so far above and beyond the call of duty to entrench this travesty it calls progressivism, in my humble opinion.
Apparently, she still gets to keep her mind boggling salary and cushy teaching job so the consequences did little. What about just firing her outright?
I think the bigger punishment is to choose to show up to work day after day when the whole university is shitting on you because they are still dangling that $900k carrot you desperately need. Woman got balls to continue working in a place where peers and students will never give you respect.
Yes. Hi Gay, copied any good articles and published them as yours lately? It's what they do to engineers, hi Joe has another of your bridges fallen down\transformers burnt out\batteries caught fire......
Would she think calling for the genocide of all black people would be against Harvard policies? Would the context require actual physical actions to violate their standards?
The real “crime” here is that, looking at Claudine Gay’s (lack of) scholarship, she wouldn’t even be hired as Assistant Professor at most universities. How in the h3ll did she land a position as President of a university…ANY university???
I saw a video by Victor Davis Hanson about 3 years ago where he mentioned that ivy league universities names no longer have the credit that they once had.. All coming to light now.
She plagiarized her PhD thesis, so it needs to be vacated, and she needs to be removed from academia *PERMANENTLY. * Then we can talk about refunding what she was paid.
Historians generally agree that the book, “Profiles in Courage” authored by Harvard Alumnus JFK, was actually written by Kennedy friend and speechwriter Ted Sorensen.
There is a difference here. Books of modern politicians are almost always written by someone else, it is a tradition in all countries, and the real authors are almost always known. Plagiarizing and cheating on scientific articles, on research, on the other hand, is not acceptable.
It's called having a ghostwriter. The real author agrees to be a ghostwriter. And the one whose name appears as author doesn't submit it as their own in order to receive a doctorate.
Harvard wokes: "But there are _other_ factors that we should consider in candidates besides merit and competence, like personal truth and equity!" Me: "How's that working out for ya?"
The real irony is that former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers was also forced to resign from his job as President of Harvard partly because of a comment he made about women in science. I bet he did not keep his $900,000 salary.
This is what equity gets you, adequacy and the dumming down, instead of the striving for excellence in spite of gender, race or culture. If this is the route it removes the hard work one must put in to achive that excellence, unsatifyingvto the individual and to the product or service provided. Substandard and compromised.
The only standard for entry into a higher education establishment for students, should be and must be from the upper eschalon of brilliance which is earned by those who have attained the highest standards in entrance examinations in the case of students. There should be no other criteria! In the case of faculty applicants, the highest standards of exit examinations from the higher education establishment they attended must be the minimum of expectation. To accept lower than excellence is to lower the standard of the higher education establishment. Potential faculty members must also be able to produce extra work, involving the subject that they have excelled in, done to prove that they have the capacity to teach the students to the level that the higher education establishment expects of their students in order for them to excell. To do otherwise is to lower the standard of the higher education establishment. 7:56
Actually no: had she been fired and had her colleagues and the Harvard board clearly distanced themselves from the antisemitism and the plagiarism all would have been fine. The support by the students, the colleagues and the board is what destroyed Harvard‘s reputation.
This Gay thing will not be getting her 900K if nobody grants it to her. Antisemitic much? As any good dog knows, don’t bite the hand that you’re sitting on.

how many other monsters has dei allowed to be hired and protected at the same time as attacking competent and decent people who just happen to have the wrong colour of skin?
I can't believe some of these people are called educated. Ever hear that there are two sides to every story? Maybe the Israelis have their side & the Palestinians have theirs, eh?
Don’t feel sorry for Dr. Gay. She’s still employed at Harvard with her salary fully intact. She is not paying a price for her mistakes, but continues to profit from dishonesty and incompetence.
Harvard University has had three Jewish presidents. Neil Rudenstine served from 1991 to 2001, Lawrence H. Summers from 2001 to 2006, and Lawrence Bacow served from 2018 to Gay's appointment. The Chair of the Harvard Corporate Board that chose Gay is also Jewish. Meaning, Harvard's leaderships is much more inclusive to Jewish leaders than the Republican Party. Not only is there no Jewish Republican Senators today, but as of January 10, 2024, there are only two Jewish Republican congressmen serving in the United States House of Representatives. These two representatives are: Rep. David Kustoff of Tennessee and Rep. Max Miller of Ohio. The republicans have 246 seats! Why are they not more inclusive of Jewish leaders?
Great dissertation! I was a professor for 8 years and (apart from the hard sciences and engineering, medicine,) I witnessed unseemly "politics" in my corner of academia. 😢
In my 88 plus years, I have seen a lot - In spite of Claudine Gay's disgusting appearance on the scene, I still have not developed poor opinions of "minorities". I have enjoyed the privilege of living and working with many people from diverse and interesting backgrounds over my lifetime. During the War, 3 men from Jamaica took their meals at our farmhouse in southern New Hampshire. They worked with my dad on a large farm nearby. After the War, my family moved to the Chicago area, where I attended high school with students who were of German, Dutch, Polish, Black, Italian, French, Spanish origins. We had no "diversity, equity, inclusion" training or classes. Our parents and teachers taught us manners and respect for others - We knew what the rules were and by and large did what we were supposed to be doing, or else faced the consequences of wrong decisions.
"Her peers saw her as a transformative figure" and they were spot on ! She has completely transformed Harvard's reputation.
It's about time!
This is a great Harvard Extension and Wikipedia based presentation!

Hate will never make your life better.
Past students who were expelled from Harvardfor plagiarism, should file a lawsuit.
Whoever employed her should be fired.
Left woke minorities
Harvard has long been stuck on itself--when I was there, 1982-85, professors were routinely applauded for lectures whether they were good or not!
I thought American media was unbiased and had basic ethics of journalism. Claudine exposed the hollowness of the media and journalists.
Glad you changed your view although why you ever believed America media was unbiased beats me…have you ever watched CNN?

How could the board not be completely incompetent for not vetting her for possible plagiarism before hiring her when it would come out as such a mark against the Universities. I thought it was known even before they hired her that there were some ,,problems,, in that regard.
She would cry RACISM! The entire board needs to be scrapped.
That still wouldn't excuse the board for going so far above and beyond the call of duty to entrench this travesty it calls progressivism, in my humble opinion.
I wonder how she would handle someone who complained that they had been “ misgendered “? Would she have considered context?
I’d love to see a full report of the plagiarism
Apparently, she still gets to keep her mind boggling salary and cushy teaching job so the consequences did little. What about just firing her outright?
Some other university will hire her. Or she can run for an office and will make even more money ).
She shouldn't be at Harvard, her tenure should be terminated.
I think the bigger punishment is to choose to show up to work day after day when the whole university is shitting on you because they are still dangling that $900k carrot you desperately need. Woman got balls to continue working in a place where peers and students will never give you respect.

Yes. Hi Gay, copied any good articles and published them as yours lately?
It's what they do to engineers, hi Joe has another of your bridges fallen down\transformers burnt out\batteries caught fire......
The Harvard board should resign.
Would she think calling for the genocide of all black people would be against Harvard policies?
Would the context require actual physical actions to violate their standards?
The real “crime” here is that, looking at Claudine Gay’s (lack of) scholarship, she wouldn’t even be hired as Assistant Professor at most universities. How in the h3ll did she land a position as President of a university…ANY university???
I saw a video by Victor Davis Hanson about 3 years ago where he mentioned that ivy league universities names no longer have the credit that they once had..
All coming to light now.
If I meet someone and discover she is a Harvard graduate I just chuckle - and stop listening to anything she says.
Claudine Gay, a shining example of affirmative action/equal opportunity.
Very good summary! Thanks
Gay shows how destructive AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is.
Good on ya. you seem really coherent and precise.
She plagiarized her PhD thesis, so it needs to be vacated, and she needs to be removed from academia *PERMANENTLY. *
Then we can talk about refunding what she was paid.
Historians generally agree that the book, “Profiles in Courage” authored by Harvard Alumnus JFK, was actually written by Kennedy friend and speechwriter Ted Sorensen.
There is a difference here. Books of modern politicians are almost always written by someone else, it is a tradition in all countries, and the real authors are almost always known. Plagiarizing and cheating on scientific articles, on research, on the other hand, is not acceptable.
It's called having a ghostwriter. The real author agrees to be a ghostwriter. And the one whose name appears as author doesn't submit it as their own in order to receive a doctorate.
Her racism accusations, antisemitism and recent conviction of theft don't exactly reflect well on the black community.
So much for dei..
Harvard wokes: "But there are _other_ factors that we should consider in candidates besides merit and competence, like personal truth and equity!"
Me: "How's that working out for ya?"
The real irony is that former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers was also forced to resign from his job as President of Harvard partly because of a comment he made about women in science. I bet he did not keep his $900,000 salary.
This is what equity gets you, adequacy and the dumming down, instead of the striving for excellence in spite of gender, race or culture. If this is the route it removes the hard work one must put in to achive that excellence, unsatifyingvto the individual and to the product or service provided. Substandard and compromised.
She may be a professor, but your freedom of choice means you can avoid any class she teaches.
The only standard for entry into a higher education establishment for students, should be and must be from the upper eschalon of brilliance which is earned by those who have attained the highest standards in entrance examinations in the case of students. There should be no other criteria!
In the case of faculty applicants, the highest standards of exit examinations from the higher education establishment they attended must be the minimum of expectation. To accept lower than excellence is to lower the standard of the higher education establishment.
Potential faculty members must also be able to produce extra work, involving the subject that they have excelled in, done to prove that they have the capacity to teach the students to the level that the higher education establishment expects of their students in order for them to excell.
To do otherwise is to lower the standard of the higher education establishment. 7:56
If you are DEI, woke, Gender, Gay you have had a big chance becoming president of harvard
One woman destroyed Harvard’s reputation and value overnight.
Actually no: had she been fired and had her colleagues and the Harvard board clearly distanced themselves from the antisemitism and the plagiarism all would have been fine.
The support by the students, the colleagues and the board is what destroyed Harvard‘s reputation.
This Gay thing will not be getting her 900K if nobody grants it to her. Antisemitic much? As any good dog knows, don’t bite the hand that you’re sitting on.
How can you fail with an academic powerhouse like X Kendi behind you?
😂😂😂
If anybody believes De-notso-Nice and the Trump have not plagiarized at Yale and U Penn, you’re really kidding yourself. Trump is even plagiarizing Hitler in speeches!
Defund universities
WOW
She plagiarized…she did not protect Jewish students attending Harvard ! End of story….race has nothing to do with it. She should be dismissed..immediately😡
After getting stung by a bee, later it may itch during the healing. It's called a Bee-Itch.
If anybody believes De-notso-Nice and the Trump have not plagiarized at Yale and U Penn, you’re really kidding yourself. Trump is even plagiarizing Hitler in speeches!
how many other monsters has dei allowed to be hired and protected at the same time as attacking competent and decent people who just happen to have the wrong colour of skin?
Bless this woman for reporting the TRUTH, not a lot of that going on in journalism or news these days!
I can't believe some of these people are called educated. Ever hear that there are two sides to every story? Maybe the Israelis have their side & the Palestinians have theirs, eh?
Gay doesn't think she has done anything wrong - really.
🇮🇱
No tears for someone on $4000 per hour
No tears for Trump. Defund secret service protection for Hitler plagiarizing insurrectionist!
Don’t feel sorry for Dr. Gay. She’s still employed at Harvard with her salary fully intact. She is not paying a price for her mistakes, but continues to profit from dishonesty and incompetence.
Harvard University has had three Jewish presidents. Neil Rudenstine served from 1991 to 2001, Lawrence H. Summers from 2001 to 2006, and Lawrence Bacow served from 2018 to Gay's appointment. The Chair of the Harvard Corporate Board that chose Gay is also Jewish. Meaning, Harvard's leaderships is much more inclusive to Jewish leaders than the Republican Party. Not only is there no Jewish Republican Senators today, but as of January 10, 2024, there are only two Jewish Republican congressmen serving in the United States House of Representatives. These two representatives are: Rep. David Kustoff of Tennessee and Rep. Max Miller of Ohio. The republicans have 246 seats! Why are they not more inclusive of Jewish leaders?
Inclusion > Insurrection
When you're a DEI hire, you can't cry foul when you're fired for incompetency or lying.
Gay’s degree should be recalled and questioned. Harvard’s legacy is ruined and I hope all the donors should leave Harvard.
If she only had bigger glasses, she would have seen her mistakes
I don't feel if she has a degree through plagiarism that she has a degree, and keeping her is an example of exclusion, and racism/sexism.
She wasn't "Gay" enough!
She had Roland Fryer canceled. He was so important to American excellence. She should be abolished completely
It’s wonderful to see you young woman of such intelligence and integrity.
Congratulations!
What happened, she got entitled, she got smug, she got self elite,
She got caught, she got fired.
The magic cover of DEI wokism was stripped back to expose what she had never before been held accountable for.
Plagiarism disqualifies a person for any academic position.
Claudine Gay is the poster child for what is wrong with DEI.
Thanks for posting! ❤
She got caught being a fraud
She didn't deserve her position
Great dissertation! I was a professor for 8 years and (apart from the hard sciences and engineering, medicine,) I witnessed unseemly "politics" in my corner of academia.
😢
"Would you like fries with that?" is the only job she is qualified for,,,
I’d be afraid she’d spit on my food.
Her dissertation should be reviewed. If it's not 100 percent, her PhD should be withdrawn!
I am black and I would have fired her and kicked her out of the university. In fact I wouldn't have hired her but then I am not of the left.
In my 88 plus years, I have seen a lot - In spite of Claudine Gay's disgusting appearance on the scene, I still have not developed poor opinions of "minorities". I have enjoyed the privilege of living and working with many people from diverse and interesting backgrounds over my lifetime. During the War, 3 men from Jamaica took their meals at our farmhouse in southern New Hampshire. They worked with my dad on a large farm nearby. After the War, my family moved to the Chicago area, where I attended high school with students who were of German, Dutch, Polish, Black, Italian, French, Spanish origins. We had no "diversity, equity, inclusion" training or classes. Our parents and teachers taught us manners and respect for others - We knew what the rules were and by and large did what we were supposed to be doing, or else faced the consequences of wrong decisions.
