Harvard's embattled president is facing yet further questions about her academic record, after a statistics expert challenged the data used in a report which helped win her tenure at Stanford.
Claudine Gay, who took over as president in July, has been at the center of a firestorm since the October 7 Hamas attacks. She was seemingly slow to condemn students who justified the terrorist violence, and slow to speak out against antisemitism on campus.
The harsh spotlight has spread to her academic record, with accusations of plagiarism - and on Tuesday, a data scientist challenged her analytical methods. It was then revealed that she had refused to share her data,

They've got her a thousand ways from Sunday. If she doesn't leave Harvard, Harvard itself will suffer. But they can't get rid of her! Racist idiots.

If her thesis itself is a fraud then so is her very doctorate. Further, though not surprising at all, such fraud puts her thesis advisor - her graduate advisor, as either incompetent or complicit in Gay's duplicity. These so-called elite schools which allow such fraud are apparently so desperate for black 'success' they make it up out of thin air.

Anyone with actual integrity would have resigned by now. Everything you need to know about the real Claudine Gay.

Claudine Gay refused to share research. That suggests the data is flawed, and more evidence that Gay is a fraud. When Gay was hired at Harvard, two boxes were checked (black and female). Those checked boxes also provided her a form of tenure.

FTA
“The 2001 paper - 'The Effect of Black Congressional Representation on Political Participation'”
This would be an easy thing to research.
Just look at South Africa.

In today's enemedia world, strange, unusual and flat our ridiculous issues that slap in the face of societal norms often abound-- could it be that there is an effort to cover up the lack of true qualifications for the Harvard leader because she is named "Gay"?

There is no "logical inconsistency" in Gay's climb to the top because her path is strewn with cheating, faulty work, low expectation, dishonesty, racism, all enabled by the various forms of affirmative action that helped her along the way. As suggested, she did not get there by herself but had a lot of "helping hands" to help her climb. She is only one example of the rot that is now running our country, academia, large corporations and the military that all had their roots in the well-meaning but stupid philosophy that equality in the human race is a given.

Being black, woke, and homosexual means never having to be logical.
She must be judged by the color of her skin - - not the content of her thesis.

Except as a diversion from the antics of the perennial vacationer of DC, who really cares about this? As a retired 80+ year old in fly over country, who's children and grandchildren won't go to Harvard, this is way down the list of things that will affect my quality of life.

But, but, but Claudine Gay, PhD., went to all of the right schools. She checks all of the right boxes...including her last name. She affirms all of the "correct" things. s/
It's just a matter of time when ol' Claudine will take the severance package and will be shown the door. It doesn't matter what a certain purple-lipped, jug-eared ex President or Ms Priztker has to say about it on her behalf now. Claudine is rapidly becoming toxic to the donors. But the damage has been done. Harvard will never recover.

Number 9, this is not a "well meaning" philosophy. It is intended to be evil, chaotic and destructive from the beginning. Nothing well meaning ever. We should stop giving them the benefit of high motive when we speak of their evil designs.

Stick a fork in her because she is done. Too bad the systemic racism there, known as affirmative action, has slowed the thinking process.

She ain't going anywhere,,,,,, until the price is right.
Being black and female is just camouflage. The name helps, but that's just lagniappe. The Essential item is that she is a Screaming Leftist.
Haaaavvvaaarrrrrdddd's 'Board (Bored) of Guvna'hs will not remove her until the cost to Haaaavvvaaarrd to keep her is high enough.
I understand that a number of wealthy alumni have already realized that she's poison and are withholding some large contributions. Meanwhile the rest of us, including Corporate America, is figuring out that a degree from Haaaavvvaaarrrd is worth about as much as a sheet from that roll dispenser next to The Throne in everyone's bathroom. Eventually Haaaavvvaaarrrddd's Bored will figure out that they are allowing the Reputation to be destroyed, that 'Haaaarrrvvvvaaarrrdd' instead of being an term of respect, is becoming an abject of Ridicule, just like Bud Light and Disney. The lucrative offers to the graduates will begin to dry up, the best potential applicants will begin to apply elsewhere, and the downward spiral will be in full motion. THEN they will 'offer' her a very lucrative position which she will 'accept', and they'll put some other Leftist in the President position.
Do I have it right?
We'll just have to wait and see!

Affirmative Action folks don't have to actually meet any standards.....of performance....only standards of sex and race and sometimes various perversions will do.
Competence is not required for affirmative action folks. So, in any job that requires actual skills to keep people alive - say an airline pilot, or doctor or engineer designing bridges or buildings or aircraft --- beware the affirmative action people. They MAY be skilled, but it isn't required.

Clearly Gay was shephered into her position, much like Obama the average high school student.

#34 I question whether he was even the "average high school student". Were his SATs and LSATs even "average"? Did he even take the exams? I honestly believe the average law school graduate can pass the bar somewhere. Let's face it. When you have your records "sealed" it's because there is something (s) there that you would rather not explain.

I was required to write a thesis for my Bachelor of Science and a Dissertation, demonstrating "original research," for my dual PhD in two complementary disciplines. Although thesis and dissertation are often used interchangeably, they are not the same, nor do they require the same level of academic rigor. After my years of classwork and two comprehensive finals, I spent four years doing the research and methodological analyses in support of my dissertation. Once the research and statistical analyses were completed, its only took a weekend to actually write the dissertation. I was not required to do either for my Masters, just pass a passel of comprehensive exams. Jill Biden essentially wrote a junior high-level book report for her doctorate in education. I guess democrats aren't required to perform or demonstrate original research, their "colorblind" version of affirmative action.

This piece of trash probably cheated her way through High School. She should long be gone. Eventually she will have to leave but now no one will ever want to hire this corrupt uneducated piece of garbage. She dug her own hole, but she dug too deep, and she cannot emerge as anything but a low life cheat. Actually, she has something in common with the plagiarizer in the WH who to this day 'borrows' speeches from foreign politicians.

The longer she stays, the bigger joke Harvard becomes. And it's already pretty funny.
