Harvard stepped in their own shit this time. They should be
decertified as an educational institution and declared a for-
profit
organization, banned from receiving any state or federal funding
for
eternity.
One of the academics accusing Harvard president Claudine Gay of
copying
her work has blasted the Ivy League school for redefining plagiarism
by
standing by her — claiming she was only saved because she’s “its
first
black president.”
Carol Swain, a former political science professor at Vanderbilt
University, spoke out hours after Harvard said it was standing by
the
embattled president — even while conceding some of her academic work
needed correcting after an investigation into the plagiarism claims.
“I feel like her whole research agenda, her whole career, was based
on
my work,” Swain told Fox News Digital of allegations Gay lifted some
without proper attribution.
“My blood pressure is rising today because of Harvard’s decision
that
what she did doesn’t constitute plagiarism, and it doesn’t rise to
the
level of her removal,” she said.
Most of us know what plagiarism is,” she said.
“It is an insult to intelligence what Harvard University has done,”
she
said of the outrage also involving Gay’s congressional testimony on antisemitism at the school.
Harvard Corporation’s decision to stand by the embattled president
“is
very demeaning to every person, not just racial and ethnic
minorities,
but anyone who has worked in school, who’s written papers, who’s
tried
to follow the guidelines,” she complained.
Swain suggested Gay is “getting a free pass” because she was the
product
of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, echoing claims made
by
hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman.
“Obviously, the Harvard Corporation did not have the courage to fire
its
first black president, someone who should never have been elevated
in
the first place,” said Swain, who is also black.
“They have decided they would rather lower standards for everyone
rather
than to hold her — who attended the most, you know, elite schools in
America — to the same standards that average Americans are held to.”
Harvard should “apply the same standards to [Gay] as they would
apply to
a white person under the same circumstances,” Swain also told City
Journal.
“A white male would probably already be gone,” she claimed.
