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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My college professor said, no matter what happened never EVER answer a question answerable by Y/N with "it depends" as you are automatically guilty. lol!
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
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.
@@wayneurquhart7192I'm not sure I'd want to publicise my lack of integrity especially if I've managed to turn things around after being expelled. If I was was smart enough to get into harvard I should be smart enough to still earn a good living elsewhere.
@@hitchslap8254Great point. However, the people who'd be willing would not be those in the situation you described. It would be the ones who did not face better outcomes as a result of "sloppy attribution" (or whatever Harvard calls plagiarism now).
I'm sorry if I seem racist, but on what planet is a know plagiarist allowed to retain her professorship, and a $900,000 dollar a year salary. Plagiarism at Harvard, has ruined many careers. I personally knew one fellow who through a typographical error, didn't properly reference a quote in the bibliography of a Junior level paper, and he was EXPELLED!!! Harvard tolerated no errors, even in typing, 45 years ago. Dr. Gay, needs to loose her PhD. It's just that simple!!! If she is not stripped of her PhD, then Harvard, is truly racist, because any other color or gender would have suffered that fate, for cheating /Plagiarizing!!! Since Harvard is a private corporation, I see no reason that it shouldn't pay it's fair share in taxes. With 50 billion in endowments, they are not about to go broke. Tim
blackies are so suppressed and oppressed, aren't they. they can do and say anything and if you say something, you are a racist. and they wonder why other people don't like them... even the blackies from Africa can't stand black Americans
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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......
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?
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?
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.
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.
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???
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.
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.
I mean… the plagiarism bit was misrepresented in most media coverage of the situation. There is a substantial difference between not properly citing a source and not citing at all. That distinction was entirely absent in most of the coverage, such as this one
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?"
Antisemitism and plagiarism are only two of the things that have come out recently pointing to the character (or lack thereof) in this woman, dig a little deeper, and I'm sure you will find more.
She did not plagiarize. Proof? Her exit letter began with *four score and seven years ago our." There how could she have plagiarized? An original thinker that one.
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.
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. 😢
Some of the best people I have ever met and worked with don't have degrees. You don't need them to prove you are clever, hard-working, honest etc... and best of all you don't start your working life in massive debt.
According to Gay, acting against students calling for the genocide of Jews can occur only when that rhetoric crosses over into conduct! In other words, she would have to wait until Jews on campus are actually being murdered in a campus genocide! Is she serious? According to law, a threat against someone’s life is by itself legally actionable! The law considers this sort of statement ASSAULT!!! No one has to WAIT until the words become actions to do something about it!!! Shame on her for not knowing this, but shame also on Congressional interrogators for not pointing out this clear understanding of law! Calling campus-wide for the genocide of Jews is by itself an actionable crime!
ohh not just jewish students are considering not applying, nobody wants to send his child to be educated in an institution promoting racism, especially if he has to fork out 1 million USD for the privilege, much better, and cheaper, options in Europe and Asia
How bad do things need to become before our country comes to its senses? Maybe it needs to get personal. Think about this: You arrive at the ER having just been in a terrible car accident. Your life is hanging in the balance. Some how (magically) you have a choice between the medical team that graduated top of their equity based class, or the team that graduated at the top of them their merit based class. Do you choose to you live or die?
"Her peers saw her as a transformative figure" and they were spot on ! She has completely transformed Harvard's reputation.
It's about time!
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.
Her and Dylan Mulvaney can get together and talk about things they ruined.

Stupid is as Stupid does! Woke suspending common sense. Should also fire those who appointed her.
To think, if she hadn’t been so blatantly anti-Semitic, her crimes of plagiarism might never have been uncovered.

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.
She shouldn't be at Harvard, her tenure should be terminated.
I’d love to see a full report of the plagiarism
Whoever employed her should be fired.
Left woke minorities
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???
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.
If I meet someone and discover she is a Harvard graduate I just chuckle - and stop listening to anything she says.
Gay shows how destructive AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is.
Very good summary! Thanks
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.
The Harvard board should resign.
I mean… the plagiarism bit was misrepresented in most media coverage of the situation. There is a substantial difference between not properly citing a source and not citing at all. That distinction was entirely absent in most of the coverage, such as this one
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.
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 racism accusations, antisemitism and recent conviction of theft don't exactly reflect well on the black community.
So much for dei..
Good on ya. you seem really coherent and precise.
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 may be a professor, but your freedom of choice means you can avoid any class she teaches.
Claudine Gay, a shining example of affirmative action/equal opportunity.
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.
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
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?
Nothing!!! It still gets big bags if money to do nothing!! Majority of Americans have to bust their guts to get in a year what she gets in a month!
But great men need a lot of money so they can do great things!
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.
When you're a DEI hire, you can't cry foul when you're fired for incompetency or lying.
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?"
Antisemitism and plagiarism are only two of the things that have come out recently pointing to the character (or lack thereof) in this woman, dig a little deeper, and I'm sure you will find more.
She did not plagiarize. Proof? Her exit letter began with *four score and seven years ago our." There how could she have plagiarized? An original thinker that one.
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.
In her resignation speech, which she called "The Gettysburg Address", she covered all these points.
No tears for someone on $4000 per hour
Gay doesn't think she has done anything wrong - really.
If she only had bigger glasses, she would have seen her mistakes
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.
😢
She wasn't "Gay" enough!
Duplicative was a misprint for duplicitous.
The magic cover of DEI wokism was stripped back to expose what she had never before been held accountable for.
She went straight....
To fail.....
Isn't it illegal to be critical of someone that's black?
It seems as though it is.
Oh, it is indeed. Expect a visit late some night by the Tjought Police. They’ll identify themselves by saying they’re “here to help you”.
@@williambramblett6382 that's already happened
Some of the best people I have ever met and worked with don't have degrees. You don't need them to prove you are clever, hard-working, honest etc... and best of all you don't start your working life in massive debt.
Thanks for posting! ❤
According to Gay, acting against students calling for the genocide of Jews can occur only when that rhetoric crosses over into conduct! In other words, she would have to wait until Jews on campus are actually being murdered in a campus genocide! Is she serious? According to law, a threat against someone’s life is by itself legally actionable! The law considers this sort of statement ASSAULT!!! No one has to WAIT until the words become actions to do something about it!!! Shame on her for not knowing this, but shame also on Congressional interrogators for not pointing out this clear understanding of law! Calling campus-wide for the genocide of Jews is by itself an actionable crime!
She had Roland Fryer canceled. He was so important to American excellence. She should be abolished completely
ohh not just jewish students are considering not applying, nobody wants to send his child to be educated in an institution promoting racism, especially if he has to fork out 1 million USD for the privilege, much better, and cheaper, options in Europe and Asia
When you hire someone using DEI considerations then expect incompetence to rise to the top. A perfect example of the “Peter Principle.”
Bless this woman for reporting the TRUTH, not a lot of that going on in journalism or news these days!
How bad do things need to become before our country comes to its senses? Maybe it needs to get personal.
Think about this: You arrive at the ER having just been in a terrible car accident. Your life is hanging in the balance. Some how (magically) you have a choice between the medical team that graduated top of their equity based class, or the team that graduated at the top of them their merit based class.
Do you choose to you live or die?
Her dissertation should be reviewed. If it's not 100 percent, her PhD should be withdrawn!
How can you fail with an academic powerhouse like X Kendi behind you?
😂😂😂
Defund universities
Wearing big, ill-fitting glasses does not make you smart; it simply makes you look incompetent.
WWHD
What Would Harvard Do?
- Diversity
- Inclusion
- Equity
- Plagiarism
She got caught being a fraud
First time I've seen your channel. Very good stuff. Best sweatshirt I've seen in a long time!
