#4 She will be gone before the month is out. A minority hire in the first place, her plagiarisms and lack of production will be used to shoo her out the door.

#7 Anything that isn't a hard science is just words strung together. As a professional stringer-together-of-words, I have no problem with that.

But let's please all agree that nonsense is nonsense regardless of how en vogue politically attractive it might be.

Free association with a racial cast is still just a Friday afternoon acid trip time passer.

#8 The Harvard board today told us all they're standing behind her.

But the comments are right. She was hired only for her skin color and chromosomes. She has no other qualifications.

I wonder if the Board told her to shut up, at least for a while. Because the next time she speaks, she will step in it pretty deeply again.

#10 She's politically correct and that's all that matters. Go ahead. Send your kids to Harvard. They'll get the best brainwashing that money can buy.

#12 As predicted, Harvard Board is standing by her, even as she admits "inadequate citation" in some academic writings! Only in DEI Woke-World does no mention of actual authorship mean inadequate citation, or in common parlance, academic fraud. But it's OK if you have the special credentials of melanin and chromosomes...

"Harvard University president Claudine Gay plagiarized from numerous academics over the course of her academic career, at times airlifting entire paragraphs and claiming them as her own work, according to reviews by several scholars. In four papers published between 1993 and 2017, including her doctoral dissertation,"
