AP: Republicans Have Found a "New Weapon" -- Enforcement of a University's Honor Code Against Serial Plagiarism -- to Wield Against Innocent DEI Hires

"New weapon."

It's a weapon, guys. Ethical rules and rules of academic honesty are just "weapons."

Via Twitchy:

Emily Zanotti
@emzanotti

AP's handbook:


"An AP staffer who reports and writes a story must use original content, language and phrasing. We do not plagiarize, meaning that we do not take the work of others and pass it off as our own."

We'll see if that rule survives the DEI Year Zero Razing of All and Every Standard.


The next argument will be, of course, that it's just racist to expect blacks to follow the White Man's Rules of Attribution and Academic Credit.

That's white supremacy straight-up!

The black racists are out in force.

Fire-alarm puller and liar Jamaal Bowman: It's racist to enforce the academic honor code against a university president.

If she's black. (Of course.)

Rep. Jamaal Bowman Ed.D.
@JamaalBowmanNY

This isn't about plagiarism or antisemitism. This is about racism and intimidation. This makes no one safer.

The only winners are fascists who bullied a brilliant & historic Black woman into resignation.

2024 will be a battle for truth, democracy and our shared humanity.

Olivia Rondeau
@rondeaulivia

So the white woman who resigned as President of UPenn after getting the same backlash is a victim of racism too?

Nicole Hannah-Jones, who infamously dabbled in her own academic fraud in publishing the discredited, conspiratorial "1619 Project" -- which twisted history in order to make the specious agitprop claim that the United States rebelled against England only to ensure that it could continue enslaving blacks -- also thinks another Fake Black Academic should be excused for academic fraud.

Well, they got what they wanted from their well-executed plan. https://t.co/SsdhSYYnEk

-- Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) January 2, 2024

More dark conspiracy theories from the dark conspiracy theorist.

Oddly enough!

The Plan:

Fusilli Spock
@awstar11

Step 1: Encourage Ph.D. student/prof to plagiarize numerous times

Step 2: Get her hired as Harvard President

Step 3: Have her show contempt for Jewish students' safety in front of Congress

Step 4: Expose all the previously encouraged plagiarism

Well executed @real_chrisrufo

The academic fraud, grifter, and fake DEI "academic" Henry Rogers, who styles himself "Ibram X. Khendi" (all con artists have an alias), also agrees that enforcing the rules against his fellow DEI fakes is A Racism.

ibramkehndigriftermad.jpg

Claudine Gay herself endorsed the view that holding black fake academics to conventional White Supremacy standards is racist, because of course she did.

Her whole career is nothing but crying racism for advantage!

Jeremy Wayne Tate
@JeremyTate41

She blamed everything on "threats fueled by racist animus..." unreal.


There are two things going on here. Obviously, the black racists are just, as usual, demanding that blacks cannot be held to the standards of The White Man's Racist Rules of Academic Honesty.

The other thing is: None of these people are academics. They are political firebrands who burrowed into a formerly academic institution and corrupted it into becoming merely a leftwing propaganda mill.

What Hannah-Jones and Jamaal Bowman and Claudine Gay are really saying is, "We changed your institutions and they have New Rules. And it's fine to counterfeit history or steal language to advance your DEI-based career. Because none of this White Man's Academic Research matters anyway. All that matters is The Message and The Struggle, and we are delivering that, the only thing that matters in today's universities."

I just wish they wouldn't be so coy about saying it. Just come out and say, "We are not academics, we are Marxist Racist Polemicists, and the rules are different for mere propagandists than for academics who are supposedly searching for truth."

But they won't admit that, of course. Because the whole point of burrowing into formerly respectable and formerly academic institutions is to wear those skin-suits so that Marxist racist propaganda is costumed in the black robes of academia.

12 One of the best parts about this AP article, of course written by liberals who have the academic intelligence of an 8 year old, is that they are trying to now also claim that "Scalping" was actually something white people came and did to the innocent totally peaceful Indians.

It's necessary. It's why they don't use plain language very often.
"I seek to rule you by right of power and any opposition to me is an offense that needs to be punished brutally" doesn't sound good.

55 The only “Weapons” Conservatives deployed was iron clad evidence of the massive academic incompetency of President Gay.

If Harvard President Gay had been a competent academic scholar, she would have survived her stupid and reprehensible antisemitic comments to Congress. In fact, she already had survived as her fellow Democrats covered for her and one of her fellow University Presidents. No one was holding a $100 million threat over her head.

All Conservatives need to defeat modern Liberalism is for the Liberal Mainstream Media to honestly expose the stupidity of liberals and the hypocrisy of their actions, which the mainstream media will never admit.

The fact that she was ever tapped to be President of Harvard is shocking. She does not have the academic record to be promoted to full professor in a lot of US institutions. The plagiarism is egregious. I mean, who plagiarizes the acknowledgments in their dissertation?

So did Stefanik get to have her 2nd dog and pony show?

Sounds more like she got a second scalp from her bs hearing. I’m disappointed that woman resigned.

She was a fraud that brought shame to a great university. And failed to take responsibility for her actions. Definitely not leadership material, especially of one of our finest institutions.

I would love to be a student in her class and ask her if I should abide by the Harvard policies on plagiarism or simply follow her example.

Insty linked to a (very long) X post by him where he discovered DEI and what it actually means.

He's not a fan.

I don't think he's going to stop fighting with Gay's departure, but it should be interesting if he ever connects DEI to the institutional rot that has become the Democrat Party.

However, they make sure that path is one way, and that way is to the left. They also insist that only academic sources are legit sources of data to use. This is all just leftist material which, as we have seen from the climate change bs, it's all doctored.

Honestly, Gay's plagiarism didn't harm "the conversation" all that much. She added some bullshit to a bullshit branch of study. I'm feeling all sorts of schadenfreude over it, don't get me wrong. I suppose the best part is how she lost her bully pulpit. I still find it amazing Harvard kept her as a Professor. Her plagiarism makes her unfit to be President, but not unfit to be a Professor?

The "academics" that are really crapping in the punch bowl are the ones in real branches of study that are P hacking, faking data, or tossing out data that doesn't fit their preferred outcome. Those people are actively holding back progress and will get people killed as more and more research gets built on top of false results, and escapes into the wild.

Read "Autobiography of Malcolm X" (actually written by Alex Haley, who made up the whole Kunta Kinte thing for "Roots") about how he left the Nation of Islam when he went on Hajj and discovered that actual Islam was noting like what Elijah Muhammad was preaching, which was largely just made up by Wallace D.

Honestly, I couldn't care less what happens to her. Nor do I care that Haaahvad is a shithole institution, turning out shitty minded midwits.

What concerns me, and should concern everyone else, is that we still act like this shitty institution is elite. And treat its students as if they are special, and put them in positions of power because they are.

If any good comes from this, is shows how little talent it takes to be a "leader" of a fourth rate school like Haaahvad, and how much the rest of us should take heed and stop letting these people run our lives.

Of course. Gay's entire career has been to be a political officer, a zampolit, who takes special pleasure in trying to wreck the careers of black academics who aren't as woke as she is. They knew what they were getting.

When she was given tenure at Stanford, there was apparently a lot of eye-rolling among the faculty, given her miserable publication record, but the faculty had learned that you don't publicly criticize obviously political appointments.

When I graduated college, I did so with honors. My school had various decorations for the graduation garb that reflected which honor you had (magna, summa, etc.). I saw a girl with a purple decoration, which I didn't recognize. I asked her what it was. She said, "oh, it's because I'm a leader in the Gay and Lesbian Student Association!"

I wish I had taken mine off in disgust. What was the point of the decorations?

172 Another thing that I think is going on is that plagiarism is so rampant at these supposedly "elite" universities that everyone just wants to sweep it under the rug. Gay is just the tip of the iceberg.

I think most of these "academics" -- and 100% of those in the softbrain disciplines like DEI -- are lazy, dimwitted mediocrities who never had an original thought or idea, and never actually produced anything of scholarship or value whatsoever. They basically just cut-and-pasted the same woke anal spooge that everyone else did.

176 The scalping comments are interesting...I thought I had read it was introduced, possibly by the French, as a means to confirm bounties paid to natives for killing enemy tribes.

Per a quick wiki search, however, that doesn't appear to be the case: There is substantial archaeological evidence of scalping in North America in the pre-Columbian era. Carbon dating of skulls show evidence of scalping as early as 600 AD...Among Plains Indians, it seems to have been practiced primarily as part of intertribal warfare, with scalps only taken of enemies killed in battle.

However, author and historian Mark van de Logt wrote, "Although military historians tend to reserve the concept of 'total war'", in which civilians are targeted, "for conflicts between modern industrial nations," the term "closely approaches the state of affairs between the Pawnees, the Sioux, and the Cheyennes. Noncombatants were legitimate targets. Indeed, the taking of a scalp of a woman or child was considered honorable because it signified that the scalp taker had dared to enter the very heart of the enemy's territory."

You ought to take a gander at law publications. Lawyers are shameless in ripping off language without attribution from cases and law review articles alike.

It is often that PhD students publish with their academic dissertation committee members and often they do the grunt work while the senior professor offers little or no work aside from putting their name on it. Same as any other guild system where seniority has its perks==the journeymen an apprentices do the grunt work while the master gets the glory. You see the same in the military btw.

Posted by: Archimedes at January 03, 2024 01:33 PM (CsUN+)

No, its actually easy. Back in the early 90s there was a case where a paper came for peer review to a competitor and he showed it to his PhD student. He then rejected the paper and the student copied her work and published it as his. The woman whose work brought it up for years and when finally it was challenged the Student couldn't show any raw data and the whole thing blew up. The woman had left the field long before and much of it was hushed up.

There was another case where a minor professor published 50+ papers by copying one from a major journal and submitting it to a minor journal with little or no change. Again it took almost random chance for the hoax to be discovered.

I took an English II writing course in college. It was under a first year professor. It started off okay but the professor apparently didn't appreciate my lack of attentiveness and focus on the girl next to me. After receiving 90+ grades on my first few papers , I unexpectedly started to receive a lot lower going forward.

On the next paper which was a non-fiction technical assignment, I decided to plagiarize the entire paper just as a test. ( yes stupid) . I found a book on the subject in the library, copied complimentary sections and turned it in. I got the same low grade as previous. I was personally satisfied that it wasn't my writing and just took my lumps until the semester was over.

The Vanishing
The erasure of Jews from American life


The author notes that the Harvard student body has gone from 25% Jewish twenty years ago to under 10% today.

He also notes:

The same pattern holds across America’s elite institutions: a slow-moving downward trend from the 1990s to the mid-2010s—likely due to all sorts of normal sociological factors—and then a purge so sweeping and dramatic you almost wonder who sent out the secret memo.

People like the Pritzker family have been complicit in this process.

230 Either Harvard honestly thought she was a great academic before they hired her, or they knew she wasn't and hired her anyway.

They thought because she was a liberal black woman no one would question the hire and if she hadn't shown her anti-Semitism at the hearing no one would have

There is no question they knew what she was, she is totally unable to hide her lack of qualifications. Harvard is just counting coup with the other colleges to get the wokest loser in charge and pull it off. It's like the movie Trading Places in real life, the real powers behind the office flexing for each other because they are bored.

232 No, its actually easy. Back in the early 90s there was a case where a paper came for peer review to a competitor and he showed it to his PhD student. He then rejected the paper and the student copied her work and published it as his. The woman whose work brought it up for years and when finally it was challenged the Student couldn't show any raw data and the whole thing blew up. The woman had left the field long before and much of it was hushed up.

I disagree. Does it happen? I'm sure it does sometimes, but people in a field generally know who else is working in it, and keeps tabs on their papers. Key word searches make this easy, and that's before any kind of plagiarism-detecting software.

The fact that the people you cite were caught suggests it doesn't work very well.

Yes, it’s important to remember that Newton needed calculus in order to work on gravity. Leibniz apparently needed it (or thought he needed it) for clarifying human reasoning. Calculus is useful for a lot of things, and a lot of those things were coming of age in the 17th century.

317 According to the principles of progressivism, this just means the pentagon will double down on the extremist claims:

After reports that some service members participated in the Jan. 6 riot, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered an independent study to get “greater fidelity” on extremism in the ranks. The think tank tasked with the report, the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), “found no evidence that the number of violent extremists in the military is disproportionate” to U.S. society. A review of Pentagon data suggested “fewer than 100 substantiated cases per year of extremist activity by members of the military in recent years,” the report says.

Harvard is avoiding a lawsuit for wrongful termination by paying her off. It is common in the academic world to get rid of administrators who are foolish, controversial, or incompetent by returning them to their department where they have been granted tenure generally with slight or no pay cut.

But, the relationship is a chilly one in that department as the former leader is usually resented by the others (covertly if not overtly). My guess is that Gay goes into the world of NGOs, politics, or something like that in the long run.

I doubt she wants to go to academic conferences to be made fun off or submit her work to journals.

They've been seizing and pouncing on their enemies' constituent blocs as well as the traditional values groups. All are anathema. If the reaction from the non-Marxists is insufficient for the progression of their Narrative, they have no compunction for "augmenting" the beatdown (Jan.6).

The statute specifically excludes the copied parts of "derivative" works and "compilations." There was a Supreme Court case, Feist, where one telephone directory company flat-out copied another company's directory and didn't violate copyright because it was a compilation of facts arranged in a "practically obvious" way.

464 Penny Pritzker desperately wants to keep her job as Sr. Trustee of the Harvard Corporation and Barrack is her ace-in-the-hole. He owes her. He also understands the entire DEI edifice is about to crumble if he doesn't step into the breach.

He'll be the Woodrow Wilson of the 21st century. Only slightly more racist.

Well shay-hut, he'll have to change the spelling of his name then.

477 The statute specifically excludes the copied parts of "derivative" works and "compilations." There was a Supreme Court case, Feist, where one telephone directory company flat-out copied another company's directory and didn't violate copyright because it was a compilation of facts arranged in a "practically obvious" way. There was nothing creative embodied in the original phone book.

That get complicated when you are dealing with written or musical works. You should take a look the case of John Fogerty being sued by CCR rights holder Saul Zaentz for ripping off a CCR song that John wrote (Run through the Jungle) in his later Old Man Down the Road.

Things are rarely cut and dried in law because you cited a direct one for one copy but many derivative works from materials have been copyrighted and successfully defended. Fogerty won his case despite. In another, George Harrison lost his case for copyright infringement of My Sweet Lord and the Chiffon's He's So Fine. Jury found Harrison committed unconscious plagiarism which more or less was bullshit reasoning.

478 I heard it said once that a college president's job is to win football games to raise money from the alumni, manage parking spaces for the faculty, and keep the students from having uncontrolled sex in the dorms. Harvard might be a little different, being a $50 billion hedge fund and all, but it still strikes me that academics are one of the least important aspects of the job, as Ackman points out. Why would anyone assume that a political science professor with no executive experience would have any idea how to run a college?

495 The really weird thing was that Gay plagiarized another person's acknowledgements. That tells me that she has no feelings of connection with other people, she couldn't even fake a "greetings fellow humans" in that document. I suspect a monster lurks behind those ugly glasses.

I mean, how difficult would it have been for Gay to write something like, "Good times with Prof. X when we read Mao's Little Red Book in the faculty lounge while smoking weed and dreaming of killing YT"?
