Ibram X. Kendi, director of Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research, condemned Claudine Gay’s exit from Harvard as the product of “anti-Black” attacks made by a “racist mob.”...“The question to assess whether this was a racist attack isn’t whether Dr. Gay engaged in any misconduct,” Kendi wrote. “The question is whether all these people would have investigated, surveilled, harassed, written about, and attacked her in the same way if the Harvard president in this case would have been White.”
Political Science professor Gay — who stepped down amid a tempest of allegations she did not do enough to combat antisemitism and academic plagiarism Tuesday — will now return to a position on the Cambridge, Mass., school’s faculty.Prior to being named president just six months ago, Gay earned $879,079 as a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean in 2021 and $824,068 in 2020, according to records published by the university.Her new position was not specified Tuesday, but she is expected to receive a salary comparable with what she previously received — if not higher.
"We should note that Claudine Gay has not been accused of stealing anyone's ideas in any of her writings. She has been accused of sort of more like copying other peoples writings without attribution. So it's been more sloppy attribution than stealing anyone's ideas."
It's kind of funny watching the black on black racism, considering who it was that Gay plagiarized.https://twitchy.com/fuzzychimp/2024/01/03/jamaal-bowman-raises-the-alarm-to-protect-plagiarists-n2391334Also, I saw that idiot Mark Lamont Hill demanded that the new president be a black woman. He got a little upset when someone agreed and said that it should be Carol Swain. Also CNN's spin has been amusing:Uhm, I'm pretty sure that's the definition of plagiarism...

Al Sharpton has pledged to picket the Manhattan offices of Bill Ackman after the billionaire hedge fund manager's successful campaign against Claudine Gay.Ackman, a Harvard graduate who has donated tens of millions to his alma mater, became a loud voice calling for her to resign.Ackman, who is Jewish and married to an Israeli, the celebrity architect Neri Oxman, was outraged at Gay's response to students justifying the Hamas attacks of October 7.Her testimony before Congress on December 5, when she could not give a straight answer to the question of whether calling for the genocide of Jews was hate speech, enraged him and much of the country.On December 12, the first reports emerged alleging that Gay had plagiarized sections of her academic work, which fueled calls for her to resign.But Sharpton, the famed civil rights leader, on Tuesday said Gay was pushed out because she was black.
President Gay's resignation is about more than a person or a single incident. This is an attack on every Black woman in this country who's put a crack in the glass ceiling,' he said.

How significant of a victory do you consider this campaign for the conservative movement?I worked on critical race theory for a very long time before it yielded fruit, but this Claudine Gay story has shown that we can drive major, paradigm-shifting victories over a compressed timeframe. I’d like to engage in more experimentation on how we can cycle up some of these campaigns very quickly.
