Architect1776 Loc: In my mind
 
Why has the f**e news these last few days been bending themselves into pretzels trying to say that Gay's plagiarism is no big deal?
HLN this morning was saying most college president's and professors commit plagiarism. And go on to say that plagiarism is a complex subject that only elite academics can comprehend.
Gay built her career on plagiarism and is where she is through plagiarism yet that is now OK and no big deal.

Gay's professional expertise happens to be DEI.
The unspoken underlying basis for DEI is an assumption that certain minorities are inferior and can never compete on a level playing field with certain other people. (This assumption of course is r****t, which is why it is unspoken, in order to avoid being called out.)
To admit that Gay created her massive portfolio (of what, 11 papers?), by relying on plagiarism, would be to admit - out loud - the unspoken basis for DEI.
And admit that Gay was, in fact, a DEI hire.
Death to meritocracy!

In the words of Caiaphas, "Do you not know that it is better that one man die than the whole people perish?"

In other words, she's not worth the reputation of the entire school.

Not to the antisemitic Harvard. They are doubling down at the expense of their reputation.

And, reportedly, their pocketbook.

The "Real" government of the world continues to push forth our every 4 year "popularity contest" while making sure that nothing ever changes except for the size of their massive fortunes.
