Claudine Gay is Getting a Pass That Would Never be Given to Students at Harvard
“In 2022, Harvard’s Honor Council heard 138 academic integrity cases, according to the Harvard Crimson.”
Students have been suspended or even expelled from Harvard for plagiarism. Why is Claudine Gay getting a pass?
The Washington Examiner reports:
Harvard students are expelled for plagiarism. Why does Claudine Gay get a pass?
More than two dozen students were expelled from Harvard College for what the school described as academic dishonesty during the 2020–21 academic school year. Of the 138 academic integrity cases heard by Harvard’s Honor Council that year, the second most-cited violation was plagiarism, according to the Harvard Crimson. Exam cheating topped the list.
One can only imagine what these former students are thinking in light of the scandal involving Claudine Gay, Harvard’s own president.

Articles that meet academic standards are rarely retroactively edited, and the idea that Gay was getting off scot-free for committing an academic violation that had ensnared so many students rankled some Harvard faculty members.
“It’s troubling to see the standards we apply to undergrads seem to differ from the standards we apply to faculty,” Theda Skocpol, a professor of government and sociology at Harvard, told the New York Times.
Harvard often does not treat such infractions lightly.

Isn’t the position with the highest job title to be held to the highest standards?
“Why is Claudine Gay getting a pass?”
Because Harvard is sacred and someone Republican said bad things about her. Either of those things makes her better than the rest of us but both of them together make it imperative that she be protected form the barbarians.
If you’re thinking that this reasoning makes absolutely no sense, then you’re beginning to understand the left.
To paraphrase Mel Brooks: otherwise, what good is it ta be da king?
To paraphrase Gay singing in the shower:
Passes in the morning
Passes in the evening
Passes at suppertime
So by my little homey
And give me passes all the time
By nature of the DEI boxes checked, is claudine gay considered an “historic figure”, not unlike the dog Laika, the first animal shot into space by sputnik program?
Are you suggesting that Gay should get the death penalty, just like Laika?
Vladimir Komarov did. Another victim of the left’s insane thirst for historic propaganda “firsts.”
This is becoming expensive social experiment for harvard. Billionaire Len Blavatnik has paused donations. His foundation has donated more than $270M to harvard.
Not a problem — America’s enemies will pick up the slack. And then some.
Urkel just committed theft, plain and simple.
Harvard is operating under the criminal rules of San Francisco..
To really punish them, and give back to society (well, Wu’s Boston, anyway), they need to have their tax exempt status revoked for being a political entity.
“Claudine Day is getting a pass.”
Claudine has gotten thousands of passes in the past, is getting numerous passes in the present and will continue to get unlimited passes in the indefinite future. There is no time in her life when pass-getting does not apply.
The Emperor Is Wearing No Clothes.
It’s obvious.
This woman is just another version of Frank Abagnale (“Catch Me If You Can”).
But in order to acknowledge this reality, it would necessarily implicate not just Harvard but also all of the other Academic Nudes in this woman’s past:
— at Stanford
— at Princeton
— at Exeter
As Frank Abagnale has pointed out, even when you’re suspected of being the fraud that you know that you are, the people around you have strong disincentives to acknowledge it.
Hate to reduce it to this, but it’s victim privilege.

I am reminded of the 1619 Project. The following passage from the 1619 Project caught my attention:
I was not a history major. I took only one history course in college. But even I knew that Jefferson died in debt. Which means that Jefferson’s slave-owning did not result in “dizzying profits.” If I, who am far from being an expert in American History, can catch such an error in only five minutes reading at random of the 1619 Project, it must be replete with such errors.
Which means that the author of the 1619 Project didn’t know her American History. Had I submitted this paper, or part of it, as an ordinary student, I should have earned a C+ for such egregious errors.
Those who think they are doing Dr. Gay or Hannah Nicole Jones a favor by not submitting their work to the rigorous examination that they would give to any ordinary person are doing them a gross injustice. It is the job of the supervising professor, or the journal proofreaders, or the newspaper editor, to catch such errors. By not catching such errors they are impeding the professional growth of the likes of Dr. Gay or Hannah Nicole Jones, and are also lending credence to the belief that affirmative action hires are not qualified.
CRT is such a fraud.

duped this somehow…. but the point stands.
It would be interesting to see what the outcome of all the plagiarism were? Were there harsher punishments for infractions on higher level assignments?
She plagiarized her PHd dissertation. The paper should be an F, and strip her degree.
So obama supports toxic anti-semetic rhetoric, depending on “context” ??
A confidential source familiar with the matter told Jewish Insider on Tuesday that Obama, a Harvard graduate, had privately lobbied on Gay’s behalf following her congressional appearance about antisemitism and threats against Jewish students on the Ivy League campus.
So do the expelled students have a case…. Clearly Harvard doesn’t actually care about or consistently apply it’s rules/standards… or is it ok they can pick and choose who has to follow the rules and who doesn’t?
