Harvard president plagiarized her PhD thesis

There's a looooot of people out there who still feel incredibly slighted they never got into an Ivy League school. For them, it was maybe the first dose of reality -- there are many, many people much smarter out there....

Realize this, and the obsession makes more sense.

A Joker sequel starring Steven Yeun who goes mad after not getting accepted to Harvard. Shows him posting crime statistics to letsrun

Biiiiig cope.

Still lying that she plagiarized. She didn't

Please explain how she didn't plagiarize. I'll wait

The exaggeration is that she wasn't qualified, said by fragil white males. She was definitely qualified by any standard.

The exaggeration about plagiarism. She didn't plagiarize. She asked for a review of her thesis from the 90's. The independent review, as stated numerous times, didn't find anything but a few instances where she could have used quotation marks more. They didn't find anything to warrant plagiarism or breaking any policy by Harvard.

As for black people as a collective, it is you that have said 100s of times lies that paint all blacks as criminals, uneducated, scary and warrant being shot to death while unarmed by the police and any black person who achieves anything of high praise only received that because of some mythical black privilege. If black people are so privileged, I don't see you willing to trade your life and live as a black man.

As for Larry Elder, he is another paid sellout who is a clown in the African-American community. Ben Carson was held in high esteem until he ran for president as a repub and then sided with trump and then said numerous idiotic statements and had no business being in charge of HUD.

How ironic - some very smart people never got into Harvard and a fraud who never should have been associated with Harvard was selected as president.

Your post is junk. I started to read it and then realized it was just nonsense.

Your typical letsrun feeding frenzy and circle jerk by the usual suspects.

We Sat Down With the Conservative Mastermind Behind Claudine Gay’s Ouster

@politico

Christopher Rufo explains the motivations behind his latest crusade to topple the Harvard president.

So according to you Dr. Gay is guilty by accusations and has to prove her innocence. That is not how it works.

Newsflash....Dr. Gay is the one who called for a review of her thesis, not you. We all know the independent review of her thesis DID NOT reveal plagiarism.

So stop F'ing lying.

The burden of proof us on you, since you are the accuser. Show me and the world what she plagiarized and then prove to me that you have ever reviewed a doctoral thesis. If not STFU. Liar.

**********

After enduring a racist crusade by rightwing activists, donors, and “academics,” Dr. Claudine Gay, the first Black woman to lead Harvard in its 387-year history, resigned in the face of charges that she did not do enough to combat antisemitism on campus and that she committed plagiarism in some of her academic writings. As I will show in the passages below, both of these charges are absolute nonsense. If the world were just, Dr. Gay would never have been subjected to the repugnant racialized attacks that we have witnessed play out over the past month and she would still have her corner office in Massachusetts Hall.

The plagiarism hoax engineered by Swain and the rightwing activist Christopher Ruffo, which Harvard has already answered, the smear of Dr. Gay as a “DEI hire” rests on the claim that her research output in the field of political science, which John McWhorter calls “meager,” proves that she only got the top job at Harvard because of her race.

This argument is complete nonsense. Dr. Gay has published 11 peer-reviewed papers in the leading journals in the political science discipline. As the table below shows, this total at the time of her appointment as president of Harvard ranks her fourth among the seven presidents that have led the university since 1953. Indeed, Dr. Gay’s total number of publications is just one less than the 12 publications that Nathan Marsh Pusey (1953–1971), Derek Bok (1971–1991), and Neil Rudenstine (1991–2001) had combined at the time of their appointments to the Harvard presidency. The table also shows that Dr. Gay ranks second (albeit by some distance) to Dr. Lawrence H. Summers regarding the number of citations to her research upon entering office as president of Harvard.

It proves you are lying sack of sh*t, just like all the others who sent her deaths threats and called her a lying dumb N-word b****h

What made Dr. Gay a standout scholar in the discipline and garnered her early tenure at Stanford and Harvard is that she published single-authored pieces in all of the “Big Three” journals. Not one of her vocal critics has even come close to matching this record. If the standard for tenure at Harvard is that a scholar is among the best in the world in their chosen field, there is no doubt that Claudine Gay’s article record elevated her to the head of our field in the early 2000s. For example, 6 of the last 12 American Political Science Association presidents have worked in the same subfield (American politics) Dr. Gay works in. These scholars are an extraordinary group that includes John Aldrich (Duke), Rodney Hero (ASU), Jennifer Hochschild (Harvard), Rogers Smith (UPENN), Paula McClain (Duke), and Janet Box-Steffensmeier (Ohio State). Collectively, these scholars, whom the discipline elected to honor their pioneering and enduring contributions to the field of political science, have hundreds of publications and tens of thousands of citations, yet not one of them achieved Gay’s feat of publishing single-authored works in all the “Big Three” journals.

Please don't attribute something like that to me. I am merely commenting on her credentials of lack of. Those nasty comments are coming out of your mouth. So much anger.

She is NOT a standout scholar. She is a fraud. If I am hiring for my university and see that she stole vast amounts of material from others, then her resume goes into the trash. There are many well-credentialed people out there who earned their Ph. Ds legitimately. "Dr." Gay (I am chuckling when I say that because she did nothing to deserve it) is a fraud.

When the controversy over Dr. Gay emerged, I asked one of my research assistants to begin running Dr. Gay’s papers and some of the former Harvard presidents’ papers through several commercially available plagiarism checkers. I wanted to see first-hand what this technology identified as “plagiarism.” The first paper that we tested was a paper that Dr. Summers, Harvard’s most-published president, published in 1982: “The Non-Adjustment of Nominal Interest Rates: A Study of the Fisher Effect,” NBER Working Paper, №836. When we ran this paper through the Grammarly plagiarism checker, the AI technology lit up like a Christmas tree, suggesting that Dr. Summers had plagiarized Irving Fisher’s book The Theory of Interest (New York: MacMillan, 1930). When my assistant and I dug deeper into what the software was picking up, we found that Professor Summers had reproduced two large block quotes from Fisher’s book at the bottom of page 1 and the top of page 2 of his paper. While correctly attributes the first block quote on page 1 of the paper, he forgets to attribute the second block quote at the top of page 2, so the AI program says that he has plagiarized Dr. Fisher. Now, anyone with common sense should be able to look at Dr. Summers’ papers and see that he made a human error — or what the young journalists at the Crimson would call sloppy — but did not commit plagiarism. I assert that it should have been just as easy for the Harvard Corporation and Board of Overseers to use their common sense, aided by the testimony of so many experts from political science saying that her mistakes did not amount to plagiarism, to push back on the nonsense claims about Dr. Gay’s work.

Your post means nothing to me. I have read how she stole entire paragraphs from others. Again, your post means nothing. If she was indeed innocent of plagiarism she would have stood her ground and fought like the dickens to save her job. She did not. She is either a weakling or realized she had been exposed as a fraud. Which one?

You are one dumb lying MF.

She is a premier scholar by any measure. How about you actually read the facts. Her critics...including your dumb ass....aren't close to what she has accomplished.

"Hiring for your university"....like you have ever hired anyone for anything other than mounting your TV or cutting grass.

You are a lying jealous clown. Dr. Gay is thousands times better in her field that you would be in a 100 lifetimes in yours. Stop embarrassing yourself.
