Harvard's Chief DEI Officer Also Plagiarized Her "Papers," Cribbed Her Work From Her Husband's Previously-Published Papers

Of course. They've turned academics into a scam, and so it's now flooded with scamsters.

Harvard University's chief diversity and inclusion officer allegedly plagiarized some of her academic works, according to a complaint filed Monday with the university.

The complaint alleged that Sherri Charleston plagiarized 40 passages throughout her works, including in her 2009 dissertation and her single peer-reviewed paper, The Washington Free Beacon first reported. Charleston allegedly did not properly cite almost a dozen scholars when quoting or paraphrasing in her dissertation, and she is accused of re-using a portion of a 2012 study published by her husband, LaVar Charleston, in the peer-reviewed article, which was coauthored by LaVar, according to the complaint.
LaVar Charleston is the deputy vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, according to his webpage.
"The 2014 paper appears to be entirely counterfeit," Peter Wood, head of the National Association of Scholars, told the Beacon. "This is research fraud pure and simple."
The peer-reviewed article, which was also co-authored with now-dean of Michigan State University's College of Education Jerlando Jackson, uses the same methodology, description and findings as a 2012 study by her husband, according to the complaint.

You know how sometimes kids just submit the book report written in prior years by their older brothers and sisters as their own work?

Same deal here. DEI grifters are getting promoted on hand-me-down book reports.

...
Harvard and the Office for Equity, Diversion, Inclusion and Belonging did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation's request for comment.

Demanding original research which extends the filed of human knowledge is just White Supremacy Straight-Up.

It's almost as if promoting people based on racial grievance rather than ability results in filling the ranks with people who are low in ability and high in racial grievance.

Meanwhile, major donors are calling for Cornell's DEI-and-BDS president to resign.

Cornell University is facing mounting pressure to end its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and for the school's president to resign, following a top donor's fiery letter to the school's board of trustees, Fox News Digital has learned.
"Replace the President and the Provost," Cornell major donor and trustee emeritus Jon A. Lindseth wrote in a letter Tuesday as the top item Cornell's board of trustees should address.
"Eliminate DEI staffing and programming. Revert to Open Inquiry, Academic Freedom, Free Expression, and Viewpoint Diversity on campus," Lindseth wrote as the second item that needs to be addressed by the board.
Fox News Digital learned that as of Thursday, the letter was mailed to each trustee, and will likely be fresh in their minds as they head into an emergency board meeting on Friday, a source familiar with the situation told Fox News Digital. The trustees' calendar shows they are scheduled to hold a meeting on Friday in New York City.
Lindseth is requesting the board include calls for Cornell President Martha Pollack to resign as part of their meeting agenda on Friday.

...
The lengthy letter goes into detail how Lindseth, who has been one of the school's largest donors for several decades, is "alarmed" by the university's embrace of DEI initiatives across all academic fields. He cited reports that the school is "hiring faculty based on race rather than academic merit," as well as reports of "failures to support faculty members choosing to exercise free expression and academic freedom."
"I am proud to count myself one of several generations of Lindseths who are Cornell alumni and invested donors, but I am alarmed by the diminished quality of education offered lately by my alma mater because of its disastrous involvement with DEI policies that have infiltrated every part of the university," he wrote.
...
The source told Fox News Digital that since the letter was sent, and subsequently reported on by numerous media outlets, Lindseth has received an outpouring of support. Students, professors and parents have reached out to thank him for sounding the alarm on DEI initiatives to the board, adding that they didn't feel like their concerns were being heard until he weighed in.
Lindseth took issue with a handful of initiatives the university has rolled out in recent years, which has led to a "toxic" school environment.

"A new campus 'bias reporting system' fosters a hostile Orwellian environment among neighbors, classmates and colleagues reporting on one another. The elimination of grades and SATs has created a system in which equal outcomes rather than proven merit has become the objective. This is disastrous for a research university that is built upon academic achievement and aims to educate and train some of our country's leading scientists, architects and engineers," he wrote.

Meanwhile, at least a dozen universities are being investigated by the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights due to their refusal to investigate and punish clear cases of antisemtism and harassment against Jewish students.

SUNY-Binghampton was just added to the list of shame. Although, I gotta tell you, this is a real SJW bullshit complaint:

The Department of Education Office for Civil Rights has opened an investigation into Binghamton University in New York over its alleged failure to respond to harassment of Jewish students, Campus Reform has learned.
The complaint was filed by Campus Reform Editor-in-Chief Dr. Zachary Marschall.
An investigation into Binghamton University was opened on Monday by the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.
The letter cited an October 25, 2023, Students for Justice in Palestine "Walk out for Palestine" protest, where one student who served on the organization's executive board said "Israel is worse than Nazi Germany," according to a video posted to X.
The Binghamton University Zionist Organization responded to the incident in an email to the Pipe Dream, the university's student newspaper.
"Such a comparison profoundly diminishes the Holocaust's atrocities, where 6 million Jews were systematically and brutally murdered. To draw upon such a tragic chapter in human history for political leverage is not only historically misguided but deeply offensive, especially to Jewish students who bear the weight of the Holocaust's legacy," the organization wrote.
Marschall wrote in the complaint that Binghamton hasn't properly responded to "very clear threats" to Jewish students."

Well what are the threats? The one thing you actually call out is complete bullshit, and I assume that you're leading with your strongest evidence.

That is not a threat nor is it harassment. That is simply speech you do not like, and using your status as a minority to enlist the government to suppress the speech you don't like.

I trust the other complaints are more substantial than the one submitted by this SJW brownshirtnoser.

51 I'm still just flabbergasted that these rich billionaires had NO IDEA that the entire university system was becoming a nationwide struggle session against the West.

Yet another big Harvard donor has backed away.

Griffin, who donated $300 million to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, announced his decision ...on Tuesday.

“I’d like that to change and I have made that clear to members of the corporate board,” he said. “But until Harvard makes it very clear that they’re going to resume their role as educating young American men and women to be leaders, to be problem solvers, to take on difficult issues, I’m not interested in supporting the institution.”
The 55-year-old added that he was tired of "whiny snowflakes" promoting their far-left progressive ideology through various methods like DEI programs.
“Will America’s elite university get back to their roots of educating American children – young adults – to be the future leaders of our country or are they going to maintain being lost in the wilderness of microaggressions, a DEI agenda that seems to have no real endgame, and just being loss in the wilderness.

138 "Code words" or "Buzz word" in applications are nothing new. FedGov has been using software to scan, and identify certain words, phrases and the like in applications for decades.

If you're going to apply for a job doing "X" you're going to use verbiage that relates to "X" and hope it moves your application at least a bit closer to the top.

Having someone in HR actually tell you what to write is something entirely different. Probably not kosher, but also probably not illegal. Maybe. The racial angle is a problem, or would have been if we were in normal times.

I'm the fool reading and studying and they have the "back of the book" answer key.

And I was suffering thinking, "how am I so stupid that I don't get this?" as every time they were called on they had the right answer quick.

It still pissed me off because those grades they got from the 1st two years--handed to them--set them for their jobs on graduation as their "top tier " GPA was locked in.

I mean, I get it that International Treaties allow for various Sovereign Governments, to have such as the U.S. Secret Service to protect our President, just as Putin's guards are allowed, wherever he goes. And Xi's, and etc.

But, mere "VIPs"? Private, ARMED security teams? You KNOW Gates ain't there without a dozen heavies, right? Bezos? The same. And, etc.

The INDIVIDUALS at WEF might be a hard nut to crack. But the whole of the event? My first question. How much FORCE does Switzerland put there, on the grounds?

Yes, if you actually want to expand the field of knowledge even a little bit. It's actually hard to find a topic to begin with. Even most topics and subject matter has been done to death. In order to write a serious academic paper, like for a PhD in any real field, it may take a long time and many proposed topics before the board/advisor even OKs the paper for you to start work on.

Of course, for garbage bullshit like DEI, apparently you just have to grab some toilet paper, take a really stinky wet shit, wipe your ass with it, and publish whatever gets on the paper.

From now on, the police will ask for pronouns, preferred name, & gender identity when encountering criminals, suspected criminals, and other individuals.

I met her once maybe 15 years ago. She was never one of my favs, but she looked really good (basically an older version of her modeling self) and seemed like a nice lady. Articulate, seemed intelligent, not a twat-headed dipshit dickhole like a lot of these "models." They claim she's 5-10 but I think that's optimistic. Didn't seem that tall to me.

But you can't hold a whole tribe responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals.
For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole tribal system?
And if the whole tribal 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?

I remember picking up a book on Primitive War in college, talking about worldwide means of fighting. Lots of the wars were pretty much sports - standing hundreds of meters apart, tossing spears too far to land, showing your courage by sneaking closer like dodgeball.

The author seemed so disappointing until he gets to the Zulus, who he pretty much approved of despite them giving the Brits (he seemed to be one) so much trouble.

320 We have "Land Acknowledgements" here. It's called an abstract. Ownership of my swamp was duly and legally transferred, for value exchanged, from the local tribe. Another group later disputed that, and lost the war. The issue is settled.

Around the time of the Civil War, a later generation of that tribe, which had roamed seasonally on the open federal land, were removed westward, some against their will. That is a separate issue. It's no different from the enclosure acts in Scotland in the 18th century. Do Ozark-Americans claim a right to return to the Lowlands?
