As of Monday morning, more than 700 Harvard faculty members signed a petition urging school officials to resist calls for Gay’s removal. According to the 2023 Harvard , the university has 1,068 tenured faculty plus 403 tenure-track faculty.
“We, the undersigned faculty, urge you in the strongest possible terms to defend the independence of the university and to resist political pressures that are at odds with Harvard’s commitment to academic freedom, including calls for the removal of President Claudine Gay,” the petition said. “The critical work of defending a culture of free inquiry in our diverse community cannot proceed if we let its shape be dictated by outside forces.”

Harvard diversity is great...

Not a single instance of anyone calling out death to Jews at Harvard.
Lots of support for the genocide in Gaza, however

Larry Summers was president of Harvard. No way she is not brighter than that guy
Why does the internet seem to hate Larry Summers so much? I think he's great, but not looking for an argument, just wanting to understand. Is it because he represents the more centrist elements of the blue coalition? Is it because of his role in the 2008 financial crisis? Something else?

There is no genocide in Gaza no matter how many times you repeat the false claim.
If it was genocide they wouldn't told them to evacuate.
They wouldn't warn them before attacking buildings.
There would be more than .008% of the population killed.

Of course I don't support anything based on skin color.
I'm not a racist like you.
You couldn't find Gaza on a map if I gave you 6 months to figure it out. You didn't know Palestinians existed until the celebratory tweets hit your Twitter feed on 10/7.

He made a politically incorrect but true statement about why women are underrepresented in sciences.

Dude, I don’t know you, obviously; but speaking out of kindness, you’ve absolutely got to settle down. All I see are angry and inflammatory comments and posts from you. If you are as angry as you seem, please do something healthy about it- ie talk to a friend, reset your habits, change locations, stop visiting the forum, etc. Just do something different- you’re headed down a very unhealthy path for your mind, and ultimately, your life.
Show me these alleged angry posts. Sure you just don't mean posts containing facts and views you don't care to see?
Here's some advice to you. If you have nothing to add to the discussion we are having here, then say nothing
Alcoholics often don’t recognize that they are alcoholics. Unfortunately, our bias blinds us from objectivity; and I’m not surprised that you don’t see your demeanor as angry and inflammatory. Seriously, please take a step back and really take a hard look at what you’re doing. It’s just not healthy.

Woke Notre Dame professors signed a statement against nominating Amy Coney Barrett. Are you shocked that professors at an even woker college refuse to give an iota of criticism to the affirmative action hire?

Marxists always argue that Communism has never been properly implemented in part due to interference by outside forces. You could make the same argument in favor of capitalism, which is to say that people engaging in free trade and commerce have always been subject to the interference of people such as the Marxists.
In this case, I think it's high time the campus blowhards who impose their ideology on the rest of us received the same treatment in kind.

She denies plagiarism and “stands by the integrity of her scholarship.” Commenters on Daily Mail are hilariously and overwhelmingly skeptical of her denial.

Show me where she did that. The twitter thread has nothing like that. It is just nit picking BS which are clearly just some pinhead using a plagiarism program to try to make it look like they found something audacious. But if you actually look at the examples, there is not a single example of lifting entire paragraphs or anything even close. In fact, the whole point of nitwits like Rufo is that they know that their followers will take anything they say as gospel because confirmation bias drives their clicks.
So, show me where she lifted entire paragraphs or admit that you are just a sheep being herded by right wing dufuses like Rufo.
It was shown in the thread, short-bus.
"It’s not enough to change a few words here and there and leave the rest; instead, you must completely restate the ideas in the passage in your own words....If your own language is too close to the original, then you are plagiarizing, even if you do provide a citation."-Harvard Honor Code
President Diversity, without quotes: "African-Americans in 'high-black-empowerment' areas-- as indicated by control of the mayor's office-- are more active than either African-Americans in low empowerment areas or their white counterparts of comparable socioeconomic status. Empowerment, they conclude, influence black participation by contributing to a more trusting and efficacious orientation towards politics and by greatly increasing black attentiveness to political affairs."
Source: "blacks in 'high-black-empowerment' areas-- as indicated by control of the mayor's office-- are more active than either blacks living in low-empowerment areas or their white counterparts of comparable socioeconomic status... empowerment influence black participation by contributing to a more trusting and efficacious orientation towards politics and by greatly increasing black attentiveness to political affairs."
Would you say that President Diversity's language is in her own words here?
This is the part that is quibbling about quotations or not. The source is full of terms of art that would lose their meaning if she tried to change terms like "high black empowerment areas" and "empowerment influence of black participation" into something else. And it is one fricking sentence and not whole paragraphs. This is exactly the kind of stuff the computer software flags. If academics had to follow your rules, you would get something like this:
Source:
We take the position that diversity and inclusion initiatives failed to meet the programs goals because they failed to set standards on socioeconomic status.
In your world, someone talking about this in their dissertation would have to come up with a word salad like this:
Johnson and Williams positional statement in their work conveyed their position that programs designed to bring in more people of color from broad backgrounds did not attain the stated objectives because they did not at the outset establish guiding principles on what spectrum of income and concomitant social hierarchies would be considered.
There is no reason to change terms of art like diversity and inclusion initiatives or socioeconomic status and repeating those terms of art is not plagiarism.
