- With Claudine Gay stepping down from her role as president of Harvard University, she becomes the shortest-tenured president in the school's history. After a month of controversy, what should Gay and Harvard have done differently to prevent this public relations nightmare? Two experts in the field, Jacquetta Van Zandt, host of the Politics and Prosecco videocast, and Colette Phillips, president and CEO of Collette Phillips Communication, weigh in.

Do you think Harvard did enough to support and protect Claudine Gay?
“Protect” her from what? Her free choice to plagiarize?
Not to mention the fact that she plagiarized from other BLACK WOMEN scholars who actually did the hard original work.
You mean to protect her from her incompetence in protecting the Jewish students and allowing racist calls for genocide in her campus ? Or you mean to protect her from plagiarism she committed? Or to protect her from the consequences of her hypocritical answers to straight clear questions from the congress?
@GBHNews - Harvard's conduct was a disgrace! Claudine Gay should NEVER have been appointed! She was a mediocrity and an insult to the many real African American scholars out there. Gay was merely a token hire. We can only hope and pray that her resignation is the beginning of the dismantling of the entire corrupt DEI edifice. It's a fraud!
@@wiseonwords she is not african american
What went wrong? She plagiarized. 50 times.
Please stop mentioning race. The more you make race an issue, the more it does become an issue
don't you think she had the job because of her race ? Do you think an Asian man would be her replacement? 😅
Does being black make her not accountable for failing to protect the Jewish students and for her shameful answers to the congress??? You people are biased and are trying to drown the fish
Some people need the race card; they live for it. Facts just get in the way
@@lilamayoral1031 I had an asian president in my college. But no, you're absolutely right, this whole stupid DEI & affirmative action is just reverse racism, which is just another form of racism and it's wrong. Unfair for those who actually work hard & deserve it
I'm a black man. Please stop minimizing and skirting around the serious plagiarism allegations.
Let’s talk about diversity of thoughts and ideas and not about skin colors. There’s no attack here. The truth of Gay’s incompetence should come out regardless of who was able to reveal it, republican or democrat. Let’s not make it about politics and racism.
I can’t believe how stupid every one of the perspectives shown here are. Absolutely astounding.
Actions have consequences . It has nothing to do against DEI or race specifically . She just proved to be unfit for the job.
Background and back story is all fine and well, but I would have liked to hear more in depth discussion about her plagiarism allegations. I would have liked these ladies to acknowledge the seriousness of plagiarism and then get into the specifics of Dr. Gay’s paper and does it warrant her resignation? I think arguing anything before deconstructing her announced reasons for resignation is moot. She is leader of an academic institution and the bedrock of legitimacy and respect for academic institutions are the papers written by their academics. How does it appear if the very leader that espouses the value of academic pursuits and integrity is discovered to be a plagiarist? This panel dismissed the plagiarism charge as a witch-hunt tool and didn’t delve on this issue at all, sadly.
What went wrong? "Depends on the context "
Simples. Someone at this level of academia who cannot discern between violent speech and the safety of her students does not deserve to be in that position.
What about Claudine Gay’s hatred of Jews, and her 50+ cited plagiarism in her doctorate
What went wrong was she lied and cheated her way into a position of power!!!
Isn’t the lesson: don’t cheat?
Lessons learned: don’t forget to cite your sources!
Affirmative action? Quotas instead of character,politics
Those damn republicans and their devious time machine! How dare they travel back in time to force an innocent woman to plagiarize the acknowledgments section of her thesis!!!
So much diversity on this panel lmao
Why are you bringing race into this? It has nothing to do with it. She's not the victim here. And why zero mention of the students that were not protected on campus? That was the reason she was at the hearing. This was under her watch. What about her 50 counts of plagiarism? This is a joke if your going to turn this around and make this into a race thing.
The lady is Caribbean here with the specks
10:27 😂 we need white men to save us while making us look like the heroes
Don’t plagiarize.
The issues are so far over these talking heads. She was hired because of DEI and was booted because of DEI, that is because she didn’t have any of the skills required to lead Harvard through a crisis, including the very fact that she allowed some lawyers to write the script. This is not a leader, this is a placeholder bureaucrat.
You all have the same glasses to speak as if your word is more than it is
I was extremely disappointed that Gay wasn't fit to be president of Harvard because I want very much to see a person of color in that position. However, her repeated lifting of another scholar's boilerplate technical language indicates that she is not an original thinker, and this is what she showed before congress. I am no fan of Elise Stefanik in any way, but Harvard University is a world-class institution and must be led by a world-class mind. Claudine Gay doesn't have a world-class brilliance that can represent US intellect on the international stage. We need to stop throwing down the racism card and equip our American citizens of color to compete with the most brilliant of other countries instead of giving them the half-hearted, half-baked chance that affirmative action did. Affirmative action was something tossed out to make white people feel less guilty about white privilege, not something to equip Americans of color to compete on an equal playing field. Time to start treating them like their potential is as great as white people's and give them the tools to develop it from early childhood so they don't need quotas to get into a prestigious university or professional position.
DEI and TDS has rotted what's left of your brain.
There's a much more qualified African American woman and she is the award winning author Prof Carol Swain.
Look her up and then you will understand why they will never consider her even though she's uniquely qualified to lead any university.
@@kc66 Carol Swain's idea that all you need is a can-do attitude is correct, but it's nearly impossible to have that can-do attitude if forced labor, rape, lynching, red-lining, police brutality, mass incarceration, etc., has been forced on your family's history to be passed down as generational trauma. Swain might well come from a family of free blacks and might not be dealing with this. So, yeah. Affirmative action did nothing to address the trauma all those horrors generate. It just shoved mediocre people into positions beyond their abilities. It did nothing to prepare talent of color to be extraordinary. We'll probably never know how much talent of color was lost to gangs, drugs or incarceration. Swain needs to stop being so simplistic.
@@ingridseim1379 Simplistic or not Swain's life story (too poor to buy shoes) is much more inspiring than Gay, who went to a private boarding school.
What do you mean by brilliant
What went wrong?… Racist and fascist DEI….that is what went wrong….prolly cheated on undergrad work too….
Everyone's talking so intelligently on this issue.....and getting nowhere. Its amusing to see facts vs opinions. Claudine is better than she is being portrayed. She comes across as honest and intellectually bright. A fit dignified individual as President of Harvard.
Yeah she never lost a sense of herself and they don’t like that…I so proud of her
Proud of what? The plagiarism or the genocide?
This is racism against blacks. She is innocent
why was the president of Harvard allowed to get away with plagiarism? Most students at Harvard would be crucified if they were caught plagiarizing. Heck, there are high schools held to a higher standard. Why is it racist to have standards? Most people would not be opposed to fire any president of a university if they plagiarized, regardless of their race or ethnicity. It's common sense. Just pretend you didn't know the race of Claudine Gay. Would you be opposed to her being fired if you found out she plagiarized on 50 different occasions?
You should seek help right away for that condition you're experiencing!!!
Bla bla bla shut up.
@@jamesbonville3625 how about no.
