fake ass quote. you aren't funny, you are a racist POS who wishes they were a tenth as accomplished as Dr. Gay
Racism is power plus prejudice. 1) I am not being prejudice because her papers did in fact contain elements of copying that is at minimum controversial. She was ambiguous on camera when asked by a committee if she condemned the rabid antisemitism that happened at Harvard against some students at a hearing. 2) I have no power over this woman , I am not involved in Harvard or any educational institution that can fire someone. This woman received a salary of over 800 k USD the past year. She is not oppressed financially or socially. It is not “racist” to criticize a black person over sub par work , or in her case plagiarism of papers. Furthermore, there was another university professor, who is white , in an Ivy League who just resigned for also being ambiguous over denouncing antisemitism at their campus. Black people did not throw a fuss over her resigning.
Wow....you still can't help yourself from writing complete BS lies.
You do know there is a transcript of Dr. Gay and rep Stefanik. Stefanik clearly had a bone to pick, as not one student called for the death of any Jewish student at Harvard. Dr. Gay never said anything about Jews.
Dr. Gay is the total opposite of Sub par. It's funny these same folks lie about Dr. Gay and say she is unqualified (which is the biggest lie), but somehow think that trump would be a good President of the United States. He had zero experience. Zero. Never elected to anything ever and never served in any government capacity. Never in the military, as he lied to get out of service.
Newsflash...you don't keep up with black news in the African-American community. Plenty of African-Americans are upset.
By that comment, you just revealed that you are an old lying idiot.
I know about ancient Greece. Does that make me an old idiot, too?
SMH...you pick a trivial incident from the 1950's. That isn't a comparison to a nation or empire which people actually study. Nobody studies Van Doren and then bring him up in a conversation about the President of Harvard being railroaded.
Conservatives have long used a racist playbook as a guide to political victory. But at the start of another consequential election year in an America that remains deeply divided, it’s clear this is a strategy they remain committed to — and have refined four years into a national reckoning over institutional inequality. The White grievance stoked by Donald Trump on his path to the presidency in 2016 was narrowly defeated in 2020 —but has come roaring back in 2024 with a fresh set of culture warriors whose targets remain largely the same: women, people of color or both.
Against Black women specifically, the conservative agenda is clear: minimize their excellence and exaggerate their mistakes. Their identities and leadership become weaponized and politicized. There is no room for error.

The actual transcript shows that Claudine Gay condemned anti-semitism and the attacks of October 7th in the clearest of terms.
"Virginia Foxx (R.-NC) ... I now recognize Dr. Gay for five minutes. CLAUDINE GAY: Chairwoman Foxx, Ranking Member Scott, and distinguished members of the committee, my name is Claudine Gay and I am the president of Harvard University. It’s an honor to be here today, representing a community of more than 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students, more than 19,000 faculty and staff, and more than 400,000 alumni, including multiple members of this committee. Thank you for calling this hearing on the critical topic of antisemitism. Our community still mourns those brutally murdered during the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel on October 7th. Words fail in the face of such depravity, the deadliest single day for the Jewish community since the horrors of the Holocaust. In the two months since the atrocities of October 7th, and the subsequent armed conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen a dramatic and deeply concerning rise in antisemitism around the world, in the United States, and on our campuses, including my own. I know many in our Harvard Jewish community are hurting and experiencing grief, fear, and trauma. I have heard from faculty, students, staff, and alumni of incidents of intimidation and harassment. I have seen reckless and thoughtless rhetoric shared, in person and online, on campus and off. I have listened to leaders in our Jewish community who are scared and disillusioned. At the same time, I know members of Harvard’s Muslim and Arab communities are also hurting. During these past months, the world, our nation, and our campuses have also seen a rise of incidents of Islamophobia. During these difficult days, I have felt the bonds of our community strain. In response, I have sought to confront hate while preserving free expression. This is difficult work, and I know that I have not always gotten it right. The free exchange of ideas is the foundation upon which Harvard is built, and safety and well-being are the prerequisites for engagement in our community. Without both of these things, our teaching and research mission founder. In the past two months, our bedrock commitments have guided our efforts. We have increased security measures, expanded reporting channels, and augmented counseling, mental health and support services. We have reiterated that speech that incites violence threatens safety or violates Harvard’s policies against bullying and harassment is unacceptable. We have made it clear that any behaviors that disrupt our teaching and research efforts will not be tolerated, and where these lines have been crossed, we have taken action. We have drawn on our academic expertise to create learning opportunities for our campus community. We have begun examinations of the ways in which anti-Semitism and other forms of hate manifest at Harvard and in American society. We have also repeatedly made clear that we at Harvard reject antisemitism and denounce any trace of it on our campus or within our community. Antisemitism is a symptom of ignorance, and the cure for ignorance is knowledge. Harvard must model what it means to preserve free expression, while combating prejudice and preserving the security of our community. We are undertaking that hard, long term work with the attention and intensity it requires. Once again, I thank the committee for the opportunity to discuss this important work. I have faith today that through thoughtful, focused, and determined effort, we will once again meet adversity and grow. Thank you."
Man, I'm starting to feel kind of sorry for C Gay. She just can't fade from the news. Lizzy Magill got off easy in comparison - good thing she wasn't a plagiarist and at least had some qualifications for her position. She had the option to just resign and that's the end of it.
Questioning then begins. Foxx asks the presidents whether Israel has the right to exist.
"CLAUDINE GAY: I agree that the State of Israel has the right to exist. VIRGINIA FOXX: Ms. Magill same question. LIZ MAGILL: I agree, Chairwoman Foxx, the State of Israel has the right to exist. VIRGINIA FOXX: Dr. Kornbluth? SALLY KORNBLUTH: Absolutely, Israel has the right to exist."
Then Joe Courtney asks, "... Dr. Nadell, in your testimony on page eight, you talked about President Biden’s US National Strategy to counter antisemitism and particularly, you talked about the use of Title 6 of the US Civil Rights Act in terms of being an effective tool on campuses to — to combat antisemitism. I was wondering if you could talk about the little bit. PAMELA NADELL: So, Title 6 allows for responding to some of the issues that the — the president’s of these universities, but also frankly of most universities around the nation, it seems at the moment have been dealing with in terms of when antisemitism moves into — moves beyond free speech, moves beyond rhetoric and involves harassment or intimidation. The issue is that the Office of Civil Rights and the Department of Education needs to be fully funded in order to implement the US strategy to counter antisemitism."
There we see that Title 6 of the U.S. Civil Rights Act clearly distinguishes between speech and action that constitutes harassment or intimidation, the very distinction that the university presidents would later insist on, so their position was grounded in the law. And the office that would enforce Title 6 has been cut drastically by Republicans in the House.
Then we get Joe Wilson demanding to know the proportion of conservative professors at each of the universities as if free speech accords with keeping tabs on the politics of every single professor and comparing that with the major party breakdown in the country when in fact such a measure, attempted in Florida, would be very likely to tamp down on free speech at universities, in different ways depending on the politicians in power.
"What is the percentage of conservative professors at your institutions? I only want to know the percent of conservatives. What is the number, Dr. — President Gay? CLAUDINE GAY: Thank you, Congressman. So, I can’t provide you that statistic because it’s not data that we collect. But I will say that we — we try to draw our talent to Harvard from — JOE WILSON: Ok. I — we’ve got to race ahead, please. I want more. I just want to know. What is the percentage of conservative professors at Harvard? CLAUDINE GAY: I do not have that statistic. We don’t collect that data. JOE WILSON: Well, that concerns me. And President Magill, what are the percentage of conservative professors allowed to teach at your institution? LIZ MAGILL: Representative, I strongly believe in a wide variety of perspectives. We do not track that information, so I can’t give that to you. JOE WILSON: Ok. No, none. I got the message. And President Kornbluth, what is the percentage of conservative professors in — at MIT? SALLY KORNBLUTH: We do not document people’s political views, but conservatives are welcome to teach on our campus. JOE WILSON: And I think this is so sadly and shamefully revealing that there is no diversity and inclusion of intellectual thought. And the result of that is antisemitism. And you can study with government money all you want to, Doctor, but it’s due to illiberalism that has taken over the country. And you might look into that when you get your next government grant."
Claudine Gay: "... we are deeply committed to free expression. But when speech crosses over into conduct that violates our policies — policies against bullying, harassment, intimidation — we do take action."
Tim Walberg: "... But President Gay, did you know that 70 percent of Harvard students say that shouting down a speaker is acceptable? CLAUDINE GAY: That is not Ok."
MARK TAKANO: ... President Gay, many individuals hold that Harvard did not condemn the attack against Israel swiftly enough. And I’d like to give you an opportunity to briefly to react. Can you tell us why the university did not react as quickly as other universities might have, or others might have hoped Harvard would have? CLAUDINE GAY: Thank you, Congressman, for the — for the question. And — and respectfully, the — the notion that Harvard did not react is not correct. From the moment I learned of the attacks on October 7th, I was focused on action to ensure that our students were supported and safe. On that first day, we were focused on identifying whether we had any students or faculty who were in Israel and needed our assistance, including in getting out. On October 8th, I joined students and other members of the Jewish community at Harvard Hillel for a solidarity dinner, to be there in support and also to learn more what their needs were. In the days after, not only did I condemn the attacks, I’ve continued to condemn the attacks, and furthermore, have continued to stay in conversation with our Jewish community on campus about their evolving needs, so that— to ensure that the university is providing them with the support that they need during this very challenging time.
Takano, a Democrat, later specifically asserts the same position as the presidents, that when speech crosses over into action, universities must act.
MARK TAKANO: President Gay universities stand as centers of thought, and it is of the utmost importance to strike a balance between First Amendment speech protections and the safety of students and faculty. But when speech crosses into the line of conduct — crosses the line into conduct, is it — it’s essential that universities act swiftly."
Finally, for what is relevant to the thread here, there is the Elise Stefanik-Claudine Gay interrogation in which Stefanik disingenuously conflates opposition to Israel or to the Israeli control of the "occupied territories" with genocide so as to set up her claim that students, faculty, and applicants who oppose Israel in any way should be dismissed.
ELISE STEFANIK: Dr. Gay, a Harvard student calling for the mass murder of African Americans is not protected free speech at Harvard, correct? CLAUDINE GAY: Our commitment to free speech — ELISE STEFANIK: That’s a yes or no question. Is that correct? Is that Ok for students to call for the mass murder of African Americans at Harvard? Is that protected free speech? CLAUDINE GAY: Our commitment to free speech — ELISE STEFANIK: It’s a yes or no question. Let me ask you this. You are president of Harvard, so I assume you’re familiar with the term intifada, correct? CLAUDINE GAY: I’ve heard that term, yes. ELISE STEFANIK: And you understand that the use of the term intifada in the context of the Israeli Arab conflict is indeed a call for violent armed resistance against the state of Israel, including violence against civilians and the genocide of Jews. Are you aware of that? CLAUDINE GAY: That type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me. ELISE STEFANIK: And there have been multiple marches at Harvard with students chanting quote, “there is only one solution intifada revolution.” And quote, “globalize the intifada.” Is that correct? CLAUDINE GAY: I’ve heard that thoughtless, reckless and hateful language on our campus, yes. ELISE STEFANIK: So, based upon your testimony, you understand that this call for intifada is to commit genocide against the Jewish people in Israel and globally, correct? CLAUDINE GAY: I will say again that type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me. ELISE STEFANIK: Do you believe that type of hateful speech is contrary to Harvard’s code of conduct or is it allowed at Harvard? CLAUDINE GAY: It is at odds with the values of Harvard. But our values also — ELISE STEFANIK: Can you not say here that it is against the code of conduct at Harvard? CLAUDINE GAY: We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. It’s when that speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies against bullying, harassment — ELISE STEFANIK: Does that speech not cross that barrier? Does that speech not call for the genocide of Jews and the elimination of Israel? CLAUDINE GAY: When — ELISE STEFANIK: You testify that you understand that it’s the definition of intifada. Is that speech according to the code of conduct or not? CLAUDINE GAY: We embrace a commitment to free expression and give a wide berth to free expression even of views that are objectionable — ELISE STEFANIK: You and I both know that’s not the case. You were aware that Harvard ranked dead last when it came to free speech. Are you not aware of that report? CLAUDINE GAY: As I observed earlier, I reject that characterization. ELISE STEFANIK: It’s — the data shows it’s true. And isn’t it true that Harvard previously rescinded multiple offers of admissions for applicants and accepted freshmen for sharing offensive memes, racist statements, sometimes as young as 16 years old? Did Harvard not rescind those offers of admission? CLAUDINE GAY: That long predates my time as president, so I can’t — ELISE STEFANIK: But you understand that Harvard made that decision to rescind those offers of admission. CLAUDINE GAY: I have no reason to contradict the facts as you present them. ELISE STEFANIK: Correct, because it’s a fact. You’re also aware that a Winthrop House faculty dean was let go over he — over who he chose to legally represent, correct? That was while you were dean. CLAUDINE GAY: That is an incorrect characterization of what transpired. ELISE STEFANIK: What’s the characterization? CLAUDINE GAY: I’m not going to get into details about a personnel matter. ELISE STEFANIK: Well, let me ask you this, will admissions offers be rescinded or any disciplinary action be taken against students or applicants who say from the river to the sea or intifada advocating for the murder of Jews? CLAUDINE GAY: As I’ve said that type of hateful reckless offensive speech is personally abhorrent to me. ELISE STEFANIK: [inaudible] today that no action will be taken — what action will be taken? CLAUDINE GAY: When speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies, including policies against bullying, harassment or intimidation, we take action. And we have robust disciplinary processes that allow us to hold individuals accountable. ELISE STEFANIK: What action has been taken against students who are harassing and calling for the genocide of Jews on Harvard’s campus? CLAUDINE GAY: I can assure you we have robust — ELISE STEFANIK: What actions have been taken? I’m not asking — CLAUDINE GAY: What actions underway? ELISE STEFANIK: I’m asking what actions have been taken against those students. CLAUDINE GAY: Given students’ rights to privacy and our obligations under FERPA, I will not say more about any specific cases other than to reiterate that processes are ongoing. ELISE STEFANIK: Do you know what the number one hate crime in America is? CLAUDINE GAY: I know that over the last couple of months there has been an alarming rise of antisemitism, which I understand is the critical topic that we are here to discuss. ELISE STEFANIK: That’s correct. It is anti-Jewish hate crimes. And Harvard ranks the lowest when it comes to protecting Jewish students. This is why I’ve called for your resignation. And your testimony today, not being able to answer with moral clarity, speaks volumes. I yield back.
I see it as a hard swing one way to correct past injustices = hard swing other direction to prevent current beneficiaries from continuing to gain = more injustice and corresponding wokeness = moderately hard swing back to appease the privileged = woke jab = slightly improved from the past. Bunch of lawsuits smushed in there. Recycle.
"When scholars aren’t cited adequately or their work is ignored, it harms them because academic stature is determined by how often other researchers cite your work. Ms. Gay had no problem riding on the coattails of people whose work she used without proper attribution. Many of those whose work she pilfered aren’t as incensed as I am. They are elites who have benefited from a system that protects its own."
Carol Swain? LOL She is a lying laughing clown in the African-American community! This woman doesn't know why African-Americans stop voting for repubs back in 1972. She doesn't waste a paid moment to disparage her own race and you fools like to chest bump and say look, a black person said it negatively, so it must be true. Knowing full well 99% disagree with Carol Swain and the other paid sellouts.
SMH....typical BS from racists white people.
Salam, I really need your help and feel embarrassed to ask but do not know what to do. I've asked two men in the past, who are ruqaah and they both took advantage of my situation and wanted to do haram with me.
Therefore, I ask you kindly to help clarify this issue for me and ask that you forgive me for any vulgarity in sharing the issue. I have been married for 18 years but in the past 10 years, I have been very bothered by my husband.
Over the years, my husband has been interested in trying different things in bed. What has bothered me the most is that he wants to be a female in bed and prefers the role of the female over the male. He wants me to address him as if he is a female.
He wants to wear female clothes and he gets more desire when he takes on this role. At first, I thought it was a phase but then I found that he has trouble getting excited if he takes the male role. He asks me to do things that I can not bear - He wants to be penetrated like a female, with a tool or with my finger.
I told him that I don't think this is halal. I told him that I don't want him to be a female in bed. However, he is struggling with this. He enjoys this role more than anything else.
I looked at the parts of her essay which were plagiarized, through the New York Times. It's not atrocious by any means, but there are some parts which don't have original thought and not cited properly, or cited at all.
One example is page 12 of her paper from 1997 that copies a full sentence without quoting it, essentially meaning that she tried to paraphrase it when she cited it, but paraphrasing is not copying word for word sentences.
On pages 187-188 of her essay (1997) she again copies two sentences into one sentence. This sentence she did not even cite it.
One page 14 of her essay she does cite her paraphrase of a paragraph but it is such a bad paraphrase that it is essentially a copy paste with some words switched around.
On page 15 of her essay she copies word for word another sentence, this time without citing it.
This is the plagiarism I could find.
It's not horrific by any means, but for someone like an undergraduate student in and English or government class, I would say a teacher will maybe 25 % chance ask the student to rewrite parts of this paper. It depends how strict the professor is and what their cutoff is for how much percentage is marked in a database algorithm for submitting papers. Regardless, parts of this paper are lazy, disingenuous work. This is suppose to be a Thesis for a Doctorate.
Embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay is fending off accusations she plagiarized numerous portions of her 1997 Ph.D. thesis in direct violation of Harvard’s academic integrity policies.
Racism is power plus prejudice. 1) I am not being prejudice because her papers did in fact contain elements of copying that is at minimum controversial. She was ambiguous on camera when asked by a committee if she condemned the rabid antisemitism that happened at Harvard against some students at a hearing. 2) I have no power over this woman , I am not involved in Harvard or any educational institution that can fire someone. This woman received a salary of over 800 k USD the past year. She is not oppressed financially or socially. It is not “racist” to criticize a black person over sub par work , or in her case plagiarism of papers. Furthermore, there was another university professor, who is white , in an Ivy League who just resigned for also being ambiguous over denouncing antisemitism at their campus. Black people did not throw a fuss over her resigning.
Apparently anything less than 100% support of Israel committing war crimes - South Africa is now bringing up genocide - is “rabid antisemitism”. Even calling for the destruction of Israel isn’t some existential threat to a Jew born and raised in Manhattan.

Antisemitism is not equivalent to criticizing Israel. You're twisting my statements and denying that there was anti semitic harassment in Harvard. Why should Jews be harassed in America for something Israel is doing? How do you know they have ties to Israel?

You guys keep making it out to be a single missing citation or something else very minor. Nope - there are about 50 different instances of her plagiarizing.
This is from the Washington Post which shows where she copied verbatim entire paragraphs. So please quit saying her plagiarism was very minor.

Anti-semitism at Harvard, probably like everywhere else... "rabid antisemitism" though as if Harvard is ground zero for fomenting hate against jews.. just stop
