Too bad she couldn’t plagiarize the delivery or charisma. The Harvard student had her entire audience engaged, captivated, and entertained. The moron thief from Duke never once captured her crowd. They were asleep from start to finish. She got no reactions. She stole a speech for nothing. Just to show the world how boring she is.
Oh come on... she added "in a jiffy". "As I like to put it".. lol. You gotta take credit for the one original statement... and quiet when plagiarizing.. its backwards day.. 🤪
She’s way too good at this. If I were her instructors, I would look over all of her essays and official papers, as well,, Someone this brazen has probably done this before. I would look at her Duke Admission application essay,, as well…
The Duke graduate is so good at this. I would review all of her official documents and researches, too, if I were her professor -- and in a jiffy, as I like to say! Also, because she is so bold, I believe she has done this before. Also, I would view her Duke Admission application essay, additionally...
Being at this ceremony, it was clear she was trying to appeal to the people behind her.. not her peers in front of her - just not genuine and plagiarized
I was at the Harvard commencement where the original speech was given. The ceremony started at 8:00AM and ended (no lie) at 2:00PM. She was one of at least 2 or 3 random students who gave speeches that day, Who thinks that all of the speeches at commencement is a good idea? Just a simple "You guys are awesome. Here is your diploma. Good luck in the future." would be more than enough.
@@mcjon77 After blowing six figures and several years the least the school could do is give them a few hours to fap off about how important they are and what a monumental things school was.
This is utterly embarrassing for the entire Duke student body she is representing and beyond damaging for the Duke University brand. How could she have been so selfish and foolish?
The Harvard girl is super-aspirational, too. She has a picture of her Harvard address as her Linked-In page banner. All this goes right over my head because I didn't even attend my college graduation.
I was in the audience. We were freezing. I zoned out because this girl didn't seem genuine or charismatic enough to capture my attention. I know the Duke University opens applications to students to apply to be a commencement speaker but why did they chose her and why did she apply? She clearly doesn't care enough to write a speech herself so why did she force herself to do this? She is just another overly-ambitious kid who wants to fill her resume with everything. Priya, if you are reading this, let me give you some real world advice (I've been out of school for years): no one cares that you were the commencement speaker at your college graduation. This will not help you get more job offers or more dates. If this isn't something you want to do...you don't have to do it. Also, shame on you for accusing TSA for being racist to you when they weren't. Did you even wear Duke attire to the airport and have another experience? By doing so you are invalidating everyone else who has had a racist experience at the airport. I am sure you have a full-time offer at a nice cushy consulting firm, but I'd advise you to take some time off and reflect on who you are as a person. The real world will always be there and isn't so kind. Peace.
Jobs will definitely care when they Google her name and see she apparently plagiarized her speech. She's going to have to get in front of this at every job interview for the rest of her life.
Usually Unis select students on Academic Merit (like either Summa Cum Laude or at least Cum Laude) to deliver the speech? Makes no sense for choosing her to waste the opportunity either way
I get that she plagarised a stupid speech that no one in the audience even wanted to sit through, but who figured this out? Who is the person who listens to graduation speeches and knows so much about them that they're like "Nope. Heard this one before. It's from Harvard"?
I know that there are multiple pieces of technology that can be used to check for plagiarism. I would bet commencement speeches are in the database as well as everything else published.
Im addressing the accusations of plagiarism, I find the duke speaker’s comments to be odd. She seems to admit that some statements were in fact taken from the Harvard speech. But then she says she was surprised and embarrassed to learn of the plagiarism, essentially admitting she did not write those passages. If this is true, the question then becomes, who wrote her speech for her? Either way, not writing your own speech for an elite university commencement, and/or plagiarizing another notable speech, both look bad.
I wasn't aware of a few of these details and that definitely makes this more interesting now. But I agree with you wholeheartedly, one would think a speaker at a university like Duke would have absolutely no problem formulating their own address to those in attendance. I graduated from Eastern Kentucky in 2006 and although the technology to catch plagiarism wasn't what is available now, I remember a huge emphasis being placed multiple times on a) doing coursework with honesty and integrity and b) how to properly cite and show sources you get information from that isn't your own. Excellent observation from my perspective though, okay be curious to see what, if anything comes from this.
It is more likely she wrote it by herself, plagerizing the past speech. She didn't have other people write it, she said that so it sounds better. She lied once, she's doing it again.
She’s a cheat and a liar. It’s obvious to everyone. I think it’s hilarious that she got caught and will forever be that gal who stole someone else’s speech.
As a Duke graduate, I would hope she wouldn’t be dumb enough to plagiarize something so flagrantly. My guess is she paid someone to write that speech for her (which is just as bad) and they set her up for the okey doke.
this is so embarrassing, all that she has done in her life and worked hard for has been deduced to this moment. When a lot of people hear her name, this is what they'll remember her by.
Yeah and she deserves it. I doubt it’s the first time she’s stolen if she’s this brazen. Imagine how stupid you’d have to be to think no one would notice.. in 2022
One would be prudent to double check that the “hard work” was in fact just that. If you are going to plagiarize a speech in the tradition of Kavya Viswanathan, it would not surprise me if she has had a lifetime of inauthenticity.
What else did she plagiarize? This isn't her first time at the rodeo. She's not a first time offender. I would question every single essay she has written at that school.
It would be one thing to have to prepare a commencement speech for a university like Duke and do some research into commencement speeches at universities. But if you're giving a speech, I would assume that getting an idea of what should be said and roughly how long is things that Duke had to convey to her. What's more ironic to me is she had to be online watching that 2014 address. And it never occured to her that she's not the only one who could view it. I would've went with something low key, like the 1998 Trump university salutatorian address
SHAMEFUL. She brought shame upon the university, herself & most importantly, her family. She has let EVERYONE down & disappointed those who are supposed to be proud of her. This was NOT a mistake. This was carefully planned, prepared & executed, & took weeks to carry out. Do NOT confuse a mistake with a well thought out plan.
Oh please. She copied someone else's homework and tried to pass it off as her own. You're acting like she plotted to bring down democracy or something. Calm down.

They act like it's super embarrassing to do anything relating to your own culture (especially in front of americans). A lot of them also try really hard to be like a white person. Plus they're super arrogant and annoying. Like a 'pick-me'. They tend to be hated by lot of people.
@@kimdokja5720 I know an Indian girl who had the thickest Indian accent freshman year. I met her again junior year and she’d adopted an entirely new, white American accent 🤣 and your stereotypes fit her 100%
So does this also mean she was never at the airport going through immigration ( like how can you plagiarize someone's experience 🤣🤣) girl now your teachers might have to go back and review your essays
i get some of the cool excerpts given to her by family members, but the “cluttered” bulletin board/ inbox that was all her. So once that’s on the table, it was all plagiarized. if you’re gonna do that you might well do a great monologue- Col. Guiseppe
She should have plagiarized a less awful speech. All these people seem like they walked around with their report cards pinned to them chests. Stilted. Boring and over-rehearsed.
It is my understanding that proposed commencement speeches from graduating students are required to be submitted in advance for review at Duke University. That being the case, had Duke University taken the time to run the proposed commencement address through whatever current plagiarism software detection is used at universities these days, would it have in all likelihood been flagged as being plagiarized? Hopefully someone out there with actual knowledge/experience about how plagiarism software detection actually works can respond. Thanks!
This here highlights the problem with putting value over high SAT scores versus students who are creative, hardworking kids who get Bs and Cs who are not great test takers.
100%.. and I'm guessing she lived in a cave while at Duke, so didn't realize the internet users could catch and verify this was plagiarized in probably minutes.
But the FUCUS of the Duke address (and maybe Harvard too) is wrong!! This is supposed to be on behalf of STUDENTS. No mention of thanks to parents or scholarship providers, no thanks for support, no big dreams of the future. Not even I'm happy to have FINISHED me degree. I don't think her comments reflected the average student's thoughts at commencement

@@ceylineconnor1531 Duke has multiple campuses abroad including a medical school in Singapore, and it has steadily been building international presence as one of the top 10 universities in the U.S. Sure, Harvard has a stronger brand recognition, but it has a much longer history. I obtained a professional degree from Harvard, so technically, I can claim to be a Harvard alum as well, but I bleed Duke Blue. I assume you went to neither school. LOL!!
Yep, stolen coming from someone who thought she too should make her obligatory dig at the United States, a place that kept her down. Give me a break. I especially love that because she had to subtly accuse the United States of being racist even though she is here, & made it all the way to this honor of speaking, and then her thanks is her entire speech a slightly reworded version of someone else’s. Students should be able to now hear a completely different speech from someone else. If I were her teachers I would start looking at all of her papers to see how many of her school papers were taken from others
thats the EQUITY agenda!!! If you plan on or are working in a "corporate environment" GOOD LUCK!!! The future of the country is in SMALL BUSINESS. It is and ALWAYS will be the LIFEBLOOD of this country.... JUST SAY NO to globalist hellholes
No need to bring politics into this she is a problematic “island nation” of her own separate from politics lol. The original speech accused the US of being racist. The copied one accused Pakistan’s airport security of being racist even though she is from Pakistan. I was at the ceremony and I was so confused by that reference lmao
As if Chapel Hill didn't already have enough to crow about this year...It's disappointing that both of these kids don't mind slapping Uncle Sam (TSA) in the face after the opportunity they are given.
She made a mistake as a young woman. Who among us hasn't? I am certain she will learn from this and grow from this incident. She should be able to move on from this without overly harsh judgment.
I for one have never entered a competition to give a prestigious speech, defeated the other students with my plagiarized speech, brazenly gave that speech to thousands of people, then hired a PR firm to blame my friends and family once I got found out. I expect most people here haven’t, either.
This is an intentional lie- an intentional misrepresentation , calculated, lazy and all her esssys and papers of her college classes should be suspect, as I’m sure this was not her first time at plagiarism.
Every graduation speaker will say same things like Never give up, Congratulations, you did it, thank your parents, families and friends etc. So how is this one considered plagiarism when every commencement speaker has been saying the same thing Over 2000 years?
@@lemonmarie2161 no she did not. She was conveying same idea but not word by word. Every graduation speaker does this. They will say the same things. For example, “congratulations, class of ----you did it. Well done, we are so proud of you and your parents and friends are so proud of you too. Go and make the world a better place and never give up on your goals and dreams….Bla bla bla. How is that not copying ??? Stop the double standard.
@@bknimwakin because she stole the original speaker’s concept, flow, and experiences. Her speech was exactly like her, it was plagiarism. It wasnt just a general topic that everyone speaks about. It was something unique and clearly created by the original speaker and her only. The girl copied her speech, like it or not. I’m not going to continue arguing with you because you’re dense and you don’t want to see reality.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FOCUS ON "equity" and NOT ability, skill, intelligence. Lets keep it up! This plan is going just super well!!! EVERYTHING our country does/did well has been destroyed, and it all happened in the course of 2 short years.....
In this case, you are exactly wrong. She is a South Asian Woman. Because both women and especially Asians are overrepresented at elite universities, I'll bet money that she had to get higher grades and tests scores than the minimum required of a white male. Because women attend college at higher rates than men, in some cases women need better scores to get in so that a school can maintain a 50/50 balance of men and women.
Why do you have to make it about race? She doesn't seem to be unintelligent or undeserving of her place at the university. She just seems incredibly pretentious and cringeworthy, and probably figured that plagiarising a successful speech would impress the people around her. It backfired. There's zero evidence pointing towards her being there because of "equity". Insecure, ignorant idiots always have to make things about race. Commencement speeches are usually given by students who have performed outstandingly academically, no matter what their color or creed. I'd assume you might know this as it's pretty common knowledge, but from your kneejerk reaction of "OMG SHE'S BROWN, SHE'S DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY", it doesn't exactly seem like you were burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

Both speeches are terrible. Copying a terrible speech. Biggest of oofs.
It's not good but atleast it has expression. She actually knows how to talk to a crowd, this Indian girl sounds like she's just reading a script lol
They're both cringe
ooff
She cheat at Duke too?
Yikes 😬 it’s not hard to be original
The Harvard speaker's voice is so off-putting. We get you're smart.
These people are raciststoo. Although they are relatedto blacks they despise them. Calli g them derivatory words.
that accent/syntax/cadence is incredibly annoying
And your accent isn't, pasta boy?
@@alstevens7060 it’s obvious that she has a thicker non-American accent but is trying to cover it up to sound American. It’s annoying and over the top. She wants to be “proud of who she is” basically but forces herself to have an accent that isn’t her own.
Duke is no Harvard…
As a Duke alum, we like it that way 😂
We only claimed to be "The Harvard of the South"...but let's settle this on the basketball court anyway!
@@bdawson4359 to claim yourselves HARVARD of the south, wow, pathetic.
@@GG-oz6qp choosing besides a Harvard alumn or a Duke alumn lol, who outside of the US knows wtf Duke is? Who outside of the US has no idea what Harvard is?
@@ceylineconnor1531 Duke has multiple campuses abroad including a medical school in Singapore, and it has steadily been building international presence as one of the top 10 universities in the U.S. Sure, Harvard has a stronger brand recognition, but it has a much longer history. I obtained a professional degree from Harvard, so technically, I can claim to be a Harvard alum as well, but I bleed Duke Blue. I assume you went to neither school. LOL!!
Sorry but this is a shame
Well if Melanie Trump did it with Michelle Obama….
you mean Melania?
@@TheBengalimamba thank you for the correction 😎
@@TheBengalimamba that's the only error in this stupid analogy?
Big yikes
Both speeches are absolutely cringe lmao..
🤢🤮
This is so so so so …. Bad?
Shame on you! Good luck with your future!
Wow....this is terrible
Yep, stolen coming from someone who thought she too should make her obligatory dig at the United States, a place that kept her down. Give me a break. I especially love that because she had to subtly accuse the United States of being racist even though she is here, & made it all the way to this honor of speaking, and then her thanks is her entire speech a slightly reworded version of someone else’s. Students should be able to now hear a completely different speech from someone else. If I were her teachers I would start looking at all of her papers to see how many of her school papers were taken from others
thats the EQUITY agenda!!! If you plan on or are working in a "corporate environment" GOOD LUCK!!! The future of the country is in SMALL BUSINESS. It is and ALWAYS will be the LIFEBLOOD of this country.... JUST SAY NO to globalist hellholes
No need to bring politics into this she is a problematic “island nation” of her own separate from politics lol. The original speech accused the US of being racist. The copied one accused Pakistan’s airport security of being racist even though she is from Pakistan. I was at the ceremony and I was so confused by that reference lmao
Freedom of speech. Little snowflake
Plagiarising such an awful speech, not only do you lack imagination but also taste
Clearily the Duke Speech
is much better due to
sexy accent!!
Wow. I have no words for this. A bad, original speech delivered poorly, copied by an even worse speaker.
Both speeches were horrible, especially the Indian woman's.
She's Pakistani, not Indian, you Canadian.
@@alstevens7060 cool man 👍
@@peterm8461 ✌️ from Sweden (actually Denmark).
As if Chapel Hill didn't already have enough to crow about this year...It's disappointing that both of these kids don't mind slapping Uncle Sam (TSA) in the face after the opportunity they are given.
Another Jussie Smollett
Or Melania Trump 😂
did he plagiarized or commit an actual actionable CRIME?
She made a mistake as a young woman. Who among us hasn't? I am certain she will learn from this and grow from this incident. She should be able to move on from this without overly harsh judgment.
I for one have never entered a competition to give a prestigious speech, defeated the other students with my plagiarized speech, brazenly gave that speech to thousands of people, then hired a PR firm to blame my friends and family once I got found out.
I expect most people here haven’t, either.
This is calculated deception not a mistake
@@wonderstruck. God I love you! This was a beautiful comment.
This is an intentional lie- an intentional misrepresentation , calculated, lazy and all her esssys and papers of her college classes should be suspect, as I’m sure this was not her first time at plagiarism.
AMONG US
the fact that she thought she would get away with what is a verbatim copy makes it seems like Michelle Obama wrote that speech
Every graduation speaker will say same things like Never give up, Congratulations, you did it, thank your parents, families and friends etc. So how is this one considered plagiarism when every commencement speaker has been saying the same thing Over 2000 years?
Because she obviously copied this woman’s speech verbatim. Stop being disingenuous.
@@lemonmarie2161 no she did not. She was conveying same idea but not word by word. Every graduation speaker does this. They will say the same things. For example, “congratulations, class of ----you did it. Well done, we are so proud of you and your parents and friends are so proud of you too. Go and make the world a better place and never give up on your goals and dreams….Bla bla bla. How is that not copying ??? Stop the double standard.
@@bknimwakin because she stole the original speaker’s concept, flow, and experiences. Her speech was exactly like her, it was plagiarism. It wasnt just a general topic that everyone speaks about. It was something unique and clearly created by the original speaker and her only. The girl copied her speech, like it or not. I’m not going to continue arguing with you because you’re dense and you don’t want to see reality.
@ThatKidSean Streams so what is the rule for similarity in speech? 60%? 50%? 40%? And who sets these rules?
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FOCUS ON "equity" and NOT ability, skill, intelligence. Lets keep it up! This plan is going just super well!!! EVERYTHING our country does/did well has been destroyed, and it all happened in the course of 2 short years.....
In this case, you are exactly wrong. She is a South Asian Woman. Because both women and especially Asians are overrepresented at elite universities, I'll bet money that she had to get higher grades and tests scores than the minimum required of a white male. Because women attend college at higher rates than men, in some cases women need better scores to get in so that a school can maintain a 50/50 balance of men and women.
Nobody plagiarized before 2010
where did you deduce that she was onboarded as part of an affirmative action program, buddy?
Why do you have to make it about race? She doesn't seem to be unintelligent or undeserving of her place at the university. She just seems incredibly pretentious and cringeworthy, and probably figured that plagiarising a successful speech would impress the people around her. It backfired.
There's zero evidence pointing towards her being there because of "equity". Insecure, ignorant idiots always have to make things about race.
Commencement speeches are usually given by students who have performed outstandingly academically, no matter what their color or creed. I'd assume you might know this as it's pretty common knowledge, but from your kneejerk reaction of "OMG SHE'S BROWN, SHE'S DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY", it doesn't exactly seem like you were burdened with an overabundance of schooling.
Word, cuz she's the first person ever to plagiarized in the world.... 😂😂😂
