Plagiarist 2

(cont'd from last Friday's post)

A member of the faculty at the University of Cambridge had something to say about the scandal of leadership in process at Harvard University in the U.S. 

"Claudine Gay is President of Harvard for the same reason she's allowed to commit plagiarism. She's at the top of the left's new racial and gender hierarchy, and she supports its program to create a new intellectual monoculture that discriminates against white, Asians, and men, and which outright bans conservatives . . .

"There will be little appetite among Gay's peers to hold her accountable for anything. Unsurprisingly, the members of the Harvard Corporation released a statement holding that Gay did nothing wrong and that they 'unanimously stand in support' of her.

"And why shouldn't they? Gay has done everything she was hired to do, namely, to be black, to be a woman, and to enforce woke orthodoxy."

Plagiarist

Maybe you are following the uproar over university presidents who can't bring themselves to say that genocide is always a bad thing. For the president of Harvard University, the spotlight on her testimony in Congress raised more issues.

Dr. Claudine Gay used to be the Dean of Arts and Sciences before she was promoted to president. In that capacity, she denounced the plagiarism of 27 students who were then kicked out. Disappointingly, it turns out that she has a double standard: when they did it, that was bad; but when she did it, that was fine.

Former Vanderbilt professor Dr. Carol Swain is one scholar whose work Gay used but did not give credit to. Swain believes that standards for tenure are lower today. "I don’t believe her record warranted tenure, and I believe that I had to meet a much higher standard than she did."

In Swain's opinion, it's a case of "affirmative action." That's a privilege granted because of race rather than actual merit. As she says, "A white male would probably already be gone."

Columbia profs

Columbia University in New York is another globally prestigious institution. Founded way back in the 1700's around the founding of America, its good reputation may rightly suffer because antisemitism is being revealed.

"Pro-Palestinian," antisemitic protests on American campuses began after the brutal Hamas attack on Israeli civilians last October and Israel's counterattack in Gaza. Three university presidents couldn't condemn genocide before congress.

But the protests at Columbia shouldn't be a complete surprise, according to this author and former Columbia student. One professor called Israel a “key actor” in “every dirty treacherous ugly and pernicious act happening in the world.” Professors have "saturated them with an ideological hatred for the Jewish state and university administrators . . have tolerated it for too long. At least some of the student protestors are just acting on what they've been taught.

Antisemitism, left-wing indoctrination, admissions scandals, plagiarism, all are part of the ongoing discovery of wide-spread corruption in our universities.
