This isn’t a bombshell. She gives attribution to original sources in every passage. I would guess if you took a microscope to just about any dissertation, you would find a handful of paraphrased sections that are probably close enough to the original to warrant direct quotation marks. While this may be a minor violation of a style book, this is not Claudine Gay passing off another’s intellectual work as her own. Frankly, I’m impressed this is the biggest “bombshell” that could be found.
Also, why on earth is black electoral politics an “insane” thesis topic?
Agree with all this. It sounds like the most problematic part was a paragraph describing results that was nearly identical to someone else's paragraph describing the same data. That's not a great look and should not have happened, but it doesn't rise to the level of blatant plagiarism.
That you achieve similar results to prior work is not plagiarism. That means that the data trends have not changed much over time. It is standard for a thesis to try to improve on further prior work, to improve the analysis, and use the newest and latest tools available. It has also been standard practice in a thesis to briefly discuss in the conclusions some ideas for further researcher.
It is interesting that the OP's attributions to claims of plagiarism do not seem to have ever written a thesis at all.

Thesis by Kobbs Hessler.
Title: "The realization that intentionally inventing pointless snowflake threads and comments on the world-wide web has the ability to get people pointless arguments as long as original pointless comments are defended as real issues is maintained and defended by the original commenter."
Such losers on this site and thread. Silly kids who have no experience with academic research crying plagiarism. Nobody cares. Your silly opinion is not part of the plagiarism assessment process.
Carol Swain, a legit academic, speaks truth about Gay
? ? ?
"I was pleasantly surprised at how well the speech addressed concerns that I believe most African-Americans have, and I believe that it was delivered with sincerity and that it was a message that I wish more people could hear," said Carol Swain, a professor at Vanderbilt University and an African-American Trump supporter.
Donald Trump made a direct appeal to African-American voters on Tuesday night at a campaign event in Wisconsin, accusing Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party of "failing" black Americans and pledging that his own presiden...

They go home devastated.. just received a Harvard newsletter mentioning they found a few instances of incorrect citations among hundreds. Clearly not deliberate and she asked for the corrections to be made retroactively. This is basically right wingers dying to keep soothing the butthurtness of their supporters with more fake outrage.
In recent days, as dueling petitions to both oust and retain Gay circulated, Ackman’s attacks on her became increasingly personal. He questioned her scholarship and alleged in his letter Sunday that Gay, a Black woman, was hired in a process that excluded nondiverse candidates. Later that day, David Thomas, the president of Morehouse College and a professor of Ackman’s at Harvard, took to LinkedIn. While he said he applauded Ackman for calling attention to antisemitism at Harvard, he criticized his former student for questioning the legitimacy of Gay’s selection, calling his comments a dog whistle. “We must call it out,” he wrote. On Monday evening, Ackman tweeted that he had heard Harvard’s governing boards had decided not to fire Gay. He shared with his followers that two unnamed reporters told him part of the reasoning was that trustees wanted to avoid looking like they had been influenced by his tweet

He's an activist "investor" - expert at starting and exaggerating rumors to get what he wants. Glad most people can come to their senses and see this for what it is.

The photo of this fool pointing his finger tells all. Pointing a finger while speaking is an authoritative gesture of arrogance and a way of talking down in an aggressive/angry manner.
Lefties in particular, but the jealous in general cannot fathom evaluating something on it's own merit. Truth exists independent of who says the truth.
Looks as though Professor Diversity was finally forced to confess to plagiarizing and will alter some of the propaganda she published. Not that it matters because Harvard's honor code is black and white ("it is not enough to cite your sources", etc.), but one of the most humorous examples of her cheating that I saw doesn't even cite the source she stole from!
In her 1997 thesis, for example, she borrowed a full paragraph from a paper by the scholars Bradley Palmquist, then a political science professor at Harvard, and Stephen Voss, one of Gay’s classmates in her Ph.D. program at Harvard, while making only a couple alterations. pic.twitter.com/bD8jZdL6AV
Good gig to get to be born into a body that will never experience consequences. Any guesses as to what would happen if Ms. Diversity had actually had to earn her way to her position rather than be born to parents with the right skin tone?
