Claudine Gay: I Did Nothing Wrong. Racist People Hunted Me Because They Couldn't Stand to See a DEI Success Story Like Mine.

The Racist Left continues defending the indefensible, because all they care about putting power into their own racist hands.

Noted victim-of-Russian-hacking Joy Reid:

JOY REID: I do just want to pivot to another thing. Because there's another thing happening, Jelani. There- there is this sort of open war on Black progress, Black history. Um- Claudine Gay, the president of Harvard University, at least up until she resigned, is now the latest casualty of that. Christopher Rufo, who is out there touting and, you know, high fiving and claiming the scalp of Claudine Gay, telegraphed that this was what they were going to do. They were going to associate these DEI professors of colleges with BLM and decolonization and Hamas in the public mind and get rid of them. He's now claiming victory. He telegraphed that this was the campaign. Why are these elite colleges capitulating to it and essentially making it so uncomfortable for these women leaders that they have to step down to be replaced by white men? Because that is the goal of Christopher Rufo and his gang.

The racist Claudine Gay herself wrote an op-ed, not apologizing for any of her many, many cases of plagiarism, but playing the victim and hoisting the flag of black entitlement:

Chris Brunet
@realChrisBrunet

NEW: Claudine Gay writes a goodbye essay in the NYT

''My critics found instances where some material duplicated other scholars' language ... When I learned of these errors, I promptly requested corrections from the journals.''
FACT CHECK: FALSE
When Claudine Gay ''learned of these errors'', she sat on them for months while threatening to sue the New York Post in an attempt to suppress them

Gay went on in her op-ed to do the expected. Namely, claim that the real reason she was targeted is because she's just too darn diverse.

It is not lost on me that I make an ideal canvas for projecting every anxiety about the generational and demographic changes unfolding on American campuses: a Black woman selected to lead a storied institution. Someone who views diversity as a source of institutional strength and dynamism. Someone who has advocated a modern curriculum that spans from the frontier of quantum science to the long-neglected history of Asian Americans. Someone who believes that a daughter of Haitian immigrants has something to offer to the nation's oldest university.

She's the Kamala Harris of Fake Academics. Someone failed to position her for academic success.

John Sexton quotes from a writer at The Atlantic -- presumably a liberal or neoliberal, because The Atlantic only posts articles from liberals and neoliberals.

While the rest of the left fumes that the "right-wing" Chris Rufo brought Gay down on plagiarism charges, this writer points out that the reason Rufo was able to bring her down on plagiarism charges was because she was "clearly" guilt of plagiarism.

And the worst part, the writer says, isn't that Gay is a serial plagiarist.

It's that almost everyone on the left, including all journalists and academics, were eager to lie about her plagiarism in order to save her.

Conservatives have long seen Gay as the "diversity hire" avatar of their DEI bogeymen. They wanted an excuse to force her out, so they went looking for skeletons. The problem, for progressives, is that the conservatives found a closet full of bones. As The Intercept's Ryan Grim put it, "The right launched a witch hunt against Gay but instead found a plagiarist." Although the initial examples of plagiarism were weak--easy enough to excuse as shoddy paraphrasing and forgotten quotation marks--a series of subsequent investigations by the conservative outlet The Washington Free Beacon found more damning cases. As Rufo predicted, the plagiarism story soon broke into the mainstream, thanks to sustained coverage in outlets such as The Boston Globe and The New York Times. A fair-minded but bracing December 21 Times op-ed by John McWhorter, simply titled "Why Claudine Gay Should Go," was a nail that struck especially loudly against the coffin wood.
Those who rushed to characterize her resignation as the outcome of a "bullying" campaign designed to oust Harvard's first Black president omit an inconvenient detail: She was clearly guilty. The bullying worked because the facts were too difficult to massage. That didn't stop many of my fellow academics from trying.
...
The true scandal of the Claudine Gay affair is not a Harvard president and her plagiarism. The true scandal is that so many journalists and academics were willing, are still willing, to redefine plagiarism to suit their politics. Gay's boosters have consistently resorted to Orwellian doublespeak--"duplicative language" and academic "sloppiness" and "technical attribution issues"--in a desperate effort to insist that lifting entire paragraphs of another scholar's work, nearly word for word, without quotation or citation, isn't plagiarism. Or that if it is plagiarism, it's merely a technicality. Or that we all do it. (Soon after Rufo and Brunet made their initial accusations last month, Gay issued a statement saying, "I stand by the integrity of my scholarship." She did not address those or subsequent plagiarism allegations in her resignation letter.)
Rufo won this round of the academic culture war because he exposed so many progressive scholars and journalists to be hypocrites and political actors who were willing to throw their ideals overboard. I suspect that, not the tenure of a Harvard president, was the prize he sought all along. The tragedy is that we didn't have to give it to him.

They're not journalists nor academics. They are Marxist propgandists who have "borrowed in" to once non-propgandistic institutions.

Christopher Rufo is amazingly candid about his intentions and his actions: He straight-up says his mission was to force the leftwing propaganda institutions to cover the story, because that would then make the left squirm enough that some leftists would be forced to admit this was plagiarism and that Gay therefore must resign.

Again quoted by Sexton, Politico is A S T O N I S H E D that Rufo is honest and candid about his agenda and his intentions. A belwildered Politico "journalist" asks, basically, why don't you just lie about your motives like we in the "Real Media" do?

Why do you think you can be so open about your strategy and still have it work? Why don't you feel like you need to be covert about it?
First, and most simply, because I'm telling the truth -- and the truth has an inherent and innate power. I believe that if it's propagated correctly, it has the power to defeat lies.

You tell me that Politico is doing anything but admit their own strategy of obfuscation and deceit in pretending they have no motives except "delivering the truth."

Meanwhile,

Former Harvard mega-donor Bill Ackman blames Gay's devotion to DEI for the explosion of open antisemitism at Harvard.

This is a 4,000 word long tweet; I'm just excerpting some of it.

I ultimately concluded that antisemitism was not the core of the problem, it was simply a troubling warning sign -- it was the "canary in the coal mine" -- despite how destructive it was in impacting student life and learning on campus.
I came to learn that the root cause of antisemitism at Harvard was an ideology that had been promulgated on campus, an oppressor/oppressed framework, that provided the intellectual bulwark behind the protests, helping to generate anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate speech and harassment.
Then I did more research. The more I learned, the more concerned I became, and the more ignorant I realized I had been about DEI, a powerful movement that has not only pervaded Harvard, but the educational system at large. I came to understand that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was not what I had naively thought these words meant.
I have always believed that diversity is an important feature of a successful organization, but by diversity I mean diversity in its broadest form: diversity of viewpoints, politics, ethnicity, race, age, religion, experience, socioeconomic background, sexual identity, gender, one's upbringing, and more.
What I learned, however, was that DEI was not about diversity in its purest form, but rather DEI was a political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI's own methodology.

LOL. You just learned that last month?

Billionaires aren't very smart, we're learning.

Under DEI, one's degree of oppression is determined based upon where one resides on a so-called intersectional pyramid of oppression where whites, Jews, and Asians are deemed oppressors, and a subset of people of color, LGBTQ people, and/or women are deemed to be oppressed. Under this ideology which is the philosophical underpinning of DEI as advanced by Ibram X. Kendi and others, one is either an anti-racist or a racist. There is no such thing as being "not racist."
Under DEI's ideology, any policy, program, educational system, economic system, grading system, admission policy, (and even climate change due its disparate impact on geographies and the people that live there), etc. that leads to unequal outcomes among people of different skin colors is deemed racist.
As a result, according to DEI, capitalism is racist, Advanced Placement exams are racist, IQ tests are racist, corporations are racist, or in other words, any merit-based program, system, or organization which has or generates outcomes for different races that are at variance with the proportion these different races represent in the population at large is by definition racist under DEI's ideology.

Again: You just found this out?

In order to be deemed anti-racist, one must personally take action to reverse any unequal outcomes in society. The DEI movement, which has permeated many universities, corporations, and state, local and federal governments, is designed to be the anti-racist engine to transform society from its currently structurally racist state to an anti-racist one.
After the death of George Floyd, the already burgeoning DEI movement took off without any real challenge to its problematic ideology. Why, you might ask, was there so little pushback? The answer is that anyone who dared to raise a question which challenged DEI was deemed a racist, a label which could severely impact one's employment, social status, reputation and more. Being called a racist got people cancelled, so those concerned about DEI and its societal and legal implications had no choice but to keep quiet in this new climate of fear.
The techniques that DEI has used to squelch the opposition are found in the Red Scares and McCarthyism of decades past. If you challenge DEI, "justice" will be swift, and you may find yourself unemployed, shunned by colleagues, cancelled, and/or you will otherwise put your career and acceptance in society at risk.
The DEI movement has also taken control of speech. Certain speech is no longer permitted. So-called "microaggressions" are treated like hate speech. "Trigger warnings" are required to protect students. "Safe spaces" are necessary to protect students from the trauma inflicted by words that are challenging to the students' newly-acquired world views. Campus speakers and faculty with unapproved views are shouted down, shunned, and cancelled.
These speech codes have led to self-censorship by students and faculty of views privately held, but no longer shared. There is no commitment to free expression at Harvard other than for DEI-approved views. This has led to the quashing of conservative and other viewpoints from the Harvard campus and faculty, and contributed to Harvard's having the lowest free speech ranking of 248 universities assessed by the Foundation of Individual Rights and Expression.
When one examines DEI and its ideological heritage, it does not take long to understand that the movement is inherently inconsistent with basic American values. Our country since its founding has been about creating and building a democracy with equality of opportunity for all. Millions of people have left behind socialism and communism to come to America to start again, as they have seen the destruction leveled by an equality of outcome society.

There's a lot more at the tweet, but that's the longish nutshell of it.

No, Joy(less), there isn't. There's an increasing awareness of just how many powerful people are in unearned positions that they don't deserve and in which they cannot competently function because of nothing more than the color of their skin and their commitment to ideological purity. As that awareness increases, dislike and contempt of those policies grows.

Deal with it, you con artist.

This dream is dead now. That's why she's being so nasty and bitter and dripping with resentment and rage like monkeypox from Don LeMon's asshole. This wasn't about being Harvard president.

The problem is, they're mostly not liberal or at least many don't buy into DEI. They are people who earned every ounce of respect they get. Ultimately I would submit to you that like everything else the Left does, this isn't about race. It's about the poison of their liberal political philosophy. Those people are not accomplished, ergo it's why they claim everything is racist and haven't earned an authentic credentials. They're destroying academia for this very purpose.

Her resignation letter:

But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals.
For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system?
And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general?
I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society?
Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth

63 57 Ackman's essay is brilliant and incisive, HOWEVER, he talks about being stunned to find out that DEI which he always supported both philosophically and monetarily was actual racism and at odds with merit. So Ackman, a great mind and clearly someone with a good heart, just figured this out twenty years or more later. Really? I think he just realized that the beneficiaries of DEI think of Jews as White. Welcome to the party, pal.

It does make you question his dedication to this.

A rebrand that puts Jews higher on the intersectionality stack will probably be enough to satisfy him.

It's "voluntary" now, but my employer is pushing everyone to participate in "DEI awareness sessions" -- I think that's the term. Eventually they'll be mandatory (unless this kerfuffle drives a stake through the heart of DIE all over academia). I'm retiring before they rope me into one. Though it would be amusing, once I'm heading out the door, to speak some actual truth and watch the other team members' faces go pale.

My boss also expects one of us to deliver a "land acknowledgment," essentially a groveling apology to the Indians, at the start of any of our events. I'm not doing that either. "I wasn't there, I didn't steal anything from anybody, and if the Indians had wanted to keep their land they should have stopped us coming ashore. The end."

78 Plagiarism is so stupid. At this point in history, almost nothing is truly original as far as source material is concerned. The originality lies in making connections between sources and drawing one's own conclusions therefrom.

So, you cite the source material that you have consulted, then take it from there with your own original interpretations or conclusions that you have based on that material.

But I guess that's too hard for some people. Because it would require original thought in the first place.

Or it's much faster when someone decides to make a power play. That's what happened in Red China.

Once Mao died, his successor put an end to the Cultural Revolution toot sweet. Told them to knock it off and go home. Most did. Some didn't, and they had to be slaughtered by the Party's forces to force the issue. The worst of those who went back to their villages were silently killed in retribution by the neighbors they gleefully abused. Ending it took a lot of blood, but it re-established the Party's power and ended what had become its primary threat and allowed things to stabilize.

==========

If she didn't have a record of cracking down on other speech, hiding behind the First Amendment might have worked.

If she had been able to say, "These students are saying things I vehemently disagree with, but vigorous debate is important in a university setting," it might have worked.

If she had said, "Yes, calling for the death of Jews is just as bad as calling for the death of blacks, but I would not curtail the speech of those saying the latter either," it might have worked.

The problem is that someone like Bill Ackman thought she was a First Amendment advocate. She's not. So, trying to hide behind it in such a public venue backfired pretty hard.

162 Once Mao died, his successor put an end to the Cultural Revolution toot sweet. Told them to knock it off and go home. Most did. Some didn't, and they had to be slaughtered by the Party's forces to force the issue. The worst of those who went back to their villages were silently killed in retribution by the neighbors they gleefully abused. Ending it took a lot of blood, but it re-established the Party's power and ended what had become its primary threat and allowed things to stabilize.

It was more the Gang of Four that were running things at the latter point of the Cultural Revolution with Mao busy with his harem.

They also forced Mao to promote Hua Guofeng as the successor to be for Mao.

But I think a Red China type of scenario is the more likely one.

204 I have always believed that diversity is an important feature of a successful organization, but by diversity I mean diversity in its broadest form: diversity of viewpoints, politics, ethnicity, race, age, religion, experience, socioeconomic background, sexual identity, gender, one's upbringing, and more.

So is your team better off with a headhunter on it? Is a combat team better if it includes women and the disabled?

What's the right religious mix? It seems to me Australia was better off when you didn't have people there chanting "gas the Jews". Maybe that implies something about the religious mix you want.

A while back I interviewed at Google. One of the forms they had me sign asked me if I needed any accommodations for a disability, and had a whole list of disabilities I could check off. One of them was "cancer survivor." I am a cancer survivor. I was curious to know what accommodation they would make for me, so I checked the box. So far as I can tell, nothing changed.

I've no idea if the guy was "rummaging" or not. Back when I was a teenager and my family was house hunting, I remember walking through some house construction sites off hours. I even remember encountering other people doing the same. It's entirely possible the guy was actually just wandering around in a construction site.

I don't even think this much is correct. Homogeneity is more valuable most of the time: shared values, belief, identity facilitate cooperation and teamwork. Most organizations have a principal focus or foci. X Corp. manufacturing widgets isn't going to especially benefit from the kind of diversity he's touting for example. We are in many ways a diverse nation (if we are a nation at all) at this point (whether we'd like to be or not). So we have to deal with diversity, but it would be more sensible to take into account its obvious weaknesses and shortcomings, rather than praising it as intrinsically virtuous.

No, that's a scandal but the true scandal is that The Ivies (and Harvard in particular) are still considered "elite". They are not.

They are wealthy, yes. They are legacies, yes. They are elitist, yes.

They are NOT elite. They may have been given they plotted the courses in America first, but beyond that, they're legacy institutions coasting on the entrenched club that protects itself above all.

Remove the entrenched tribalism of the academic/professional turnstile that churns out brainwashed nimrods who swear fealty to their institutions and you'd have mediocre perfunctories who couldn't run a lemonade stand. Like any population, you're going to have a performance bell curve. I'd argue the Ivies are no better than any other school but for the protection racket they earnestly (and, to date, very successfully) pursue.

GIGO. But Less Garbage In doesn't mean Less Garbage Out for Harvard; it means Less Garbage In is producing More Garbage Out than it started with. That's the contemporary performance.

What a letdown! It’s not like she went off on states rights or tariffs or something. She was just another ditzy politician, who ignored the question entirely and went on with her pre set talking points. So that was the big thing that people were shocked by? That Nikki Haley is a lightweight? Slavery had nothing to do with that answer, she never even answered the question at all.

Why do you keep using the word "rummaging?" Do you think "rummaging" means walking around, looking at things? Would you have done this "confrontation" while pointing a gun? Are you one of those people who thinks they can shoot trespassers?

Imagine being a woke Jewish person and 100% buying into this nonsense. Then realizing, whoopsie - you are a colonizer, and your race must be ousted from Harvard. This creates quite a dilemma - you supported this DEI nonsense, and now it is biting you in the ass.

"Safe space" then "trigger warnings" then "microaggressions". The radical activists kept narrowing the offense so that not even light could escape any charge they invented to exert power/control. As soon as something pierced the cocoon of restricted conversation, they spun another layer.

That whole situation was an oddball one. One of the guys stopping the 'jogger' was a former leo and worked as a court investigator, another was his son, and then there was a third party. Georgia also had an old Civil War era law that granted citizens the right to arrest (for an era with few police and no rapid transportation). The former leo knew the 'jogger' because the dude had a record for petty theft etc. and for his mo which was to park a car a distance a way and grab what he could to pawn/sell etc. From what I remember, there were also a request by the out of state owner of the property for the neighbors to watch it for him. Can't remember whether any prior thefts had occurred.

What did the three dudes in was a) the rather stupid impromptu blockade for the jogger's line of retreat, b) racial comments and filming of the confrontation by the third guy, and c) using firearms to intimidate the jogger into stopping when he had empty hands.

This creates quite a dilemma - you supported this DEI nonsense, and now it is biting you in the ass.

And yet the past perhaps decade of ever increasing intolerance from and violence against non-leftists on campus and in the public square in general was nothing. N'existe-pas.

The fact that their children were being taught by radical Maoists either didn't phase them or they were unaware and worse, uncaring. If I could reach into my USB, I'd smack some of them across the face and shout to wake the fuck up.

There was an SF short short story about a SF writer whose stories keep getting rejected by publishers for plagiarism from a guy in the 1930s. It consists of the mail exchanges between him and the editors. At the end and confused why it happens he wonders if the guy in the 30s had invented a time viewer and decided to steal his writings and publish them first, so he submits all of that as an idea for a story.

It, of course is rejected because that guy in the 30s had written it first.

419 Billionaires aren't very smart, we're learning

I agree with some of the other posters. This guy's thoughts are too organized; he didn't just learn all of this. Whether he's a coward, lost his grift, or he figured it out somewhat recently, I think there's some value in the "Hey, I'm not a conservative, but even I am learning how naive and wrong I was." Not much maybe when it's one person (see Hitchens, Dawkins, Musk, etc.) but maybe there's a point of critical mass approaching.

I don't even think this much is correct. Homogeneity is more valuable most of the time: shared values, belief, identity facilitate cooperation and teamwork. Most organizations have a principal focus or foci. X Corp. manufacturing widgets isn't going to especially benefit from the kind of diversity he's touting for example. We are in many ways a diverse nation (if we are a nation at all) at this point (whether we'd like to be or not). So we have to deal with diversity, but it would be more sensible to take into account its obvious weaknesses and shortcomings, rather than praising it as intrinsically virtuous.

423 414 Well since no one picked up on the plagiarism in the thesis then no one of those examiners actually read the thesis.

Richard Feynman related that he once served on a school board tasked with selecting textbooks. One of the books was a science book which had been approved by others. To his surprise, while the cover was nice enough, the book itself was nothing but blank pages.
