Good news but the Board and Trustees and cadre of professors who supported her are still there and still hold the same opinions which will show up in subtle ways in hiring, governance, admissions, and student relations. Now if a dozen or so of them would also resign from their rarefied positions, then there may be room for actual charge at Harvard.


I hope the hiring managers of wall street and the mega-donors stay the course and not be satisfied with stopping the pressure at Gay's resignation.

How about the new President of Harvard announce a goal of Harvard not being dead last on the survey of supporting free speech in US colleges. That would be a start.

Just now saw Gay's resignation statement, which in part said,

"frightening to be subjected to personal and threats fueled by racial animus."

Wow, the race card. And here, I thought you were driven from office by your obtuse testimony regarding the Hamas massacre plus industrial scale serial plagiarism.

Plagiarism doesn’t mean a thing to the democrats and all of the left.
If it did Joe Plagiarism Biden would be booted to the curb.

Gay should have just said Hamas was "smart" like Orange Jesus, then you guys would have loved her.

Says the right who vigorously defended Melania when she plagiarized key parts of Michelle Obama's convention speech.

---------------------

Not sure how that relates, but the fact is Hamas is smart. Spending a year or more planning and then conducting the operation they did, all without detection by Israeli intelligence is not something accomplished by idiots. Taking the hostages was a novel and brilliant tactic as well.

It is possible be both smart and also a bloodthirsty barbarian. You seem to think that if Trump recognizes their obvious smartness, he is supporting the intifada. Sorry, not buying it.

“Trump Speechwriter Accepts Responsibility For Using Michelle Obama's Words

After repeatedly denying that elements of a 2008 speech by Michelle Obama were used in Melania Trump's address on the first night of the Republican National Convention, an employee of the Trump Organization took responsibility for the flap on Wednesday.

In a statement issued by the Trump campaign, staff writer Meredith McIver accepted responsibility for the addition of Michelle Obama's words in the speech.

In her statement, McIver said Melania Trump "always liked" Mrs. Obama and read passages from the 2008 speech to McIver, who says she wrote them down and included them in the speech.

"This was my mistake and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant," wrote McIver.”

bighairymike: Not sure how that relates...

Of course not.

So when Claudine Gay failed to explicitly say calls for genocide of Jewish people constituted bullying and harassment on campus and faced accusations of plagiarism, including multiple instances of missing quotation marks and citations, the entire republican party lost its mind.

But when Orange Jesus praised the Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah and criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over a deadly attack by Palestinian Hamas militants just days after over 1,000 Israelis died in the attack, you didn't bat an eye and you defend him to this day.

bighairymike: You seem to think that if Trump recognizes their obvious smartness, he is supporting the intifada.

Sorry, but praising terrorists actually is one way of supporting them.

"" Says the right who vigorously defended Melania when she plagiarized key parts of Michelle Obama's convention speech."" Melania's assistant's stealing from MIchelles speech is the equivalent to what the pres of Harvard did ? Seriously bro, you can make big money with a comedy act in Vegas, let be hook you up !! So much wasted talent.

He should cheer up: Gay will still be on the faculty with a salary north of $800k per year. Pretty good work when all you do is copy other people.
