I keep looking at the date of your very first Karlstack piece on Gay and shaking my head in admiration. Got any stock tips? I really need that lakeside estate.
I tend to think you are correct. But the WSJ had piece titled "Why Harvard Can’t Fire Claudine Gay: To admit she has performed poorly is to raise basic questions about the entire ‘diversity’ enterprise."
Should be mildly interesting to see how the leftists play it and what her fate is.
i think that article was written before the NYT and some other establishment mouthpieces picked up the new round of plagiarism accusations.
while it will be painful for them to cut loose a leading commissar, better to amputate a finger than a whole arm (the arm being the entire DEI movement).
It would be useful to suggest particular black women who would have been better hires for Harvard Government Dept. than Claudine Gay. Carol Swain of Vanderbilt, whom Gay plagiarized from, comes to mind. Also Sue Collins, my econ grad school classmate at MIT, who is President of the Boston Fed at the moment. Who else? Maybe some law professors-- Kimberle Crenshaw of Columbia, for example. Maybe Maria O'Brien Hylton, of Boston U. Law School. Judge (retired) Janice Brown. Prof. Patricia WIlliams (Northeastern). A couple of these are even on the far left, if that is another Harvard criterion.
Oh, the sweet irony of Harvard which so earnestly defended affirmative action all the way to its demise at the Supreme Court has now become a national laughing stock precisely because of its affirmative action hiring of its plagiarizing president.

Will the left end up throwing her under the bus, or will they rally around her? Is there a Nobel Prize for plagiarism?
at some point soon she will have to be cut loose, the Revolution is always much more important than any one person

Well, whatever happens she can always end up getting a job as a commentator at MSNBC.

Ha! No MSNBC stint for her. Harvard won't back down!

In other words, you would eliminate all candidates but blacks?
Not me; the point is, wokers are too dumb even to choose a smart black woman when they start by reducing their choice set based on identity.
Gay reminds me of Trudeau and the black face fiasco...doesn't remember how many times he wore it..... but is still in power..... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/19/justin-trudeau-wearing-blackface-details-emerge-third-incident
Leave her there. She will accelerate the Northeast's outflow of people, money, and influence.

Look forward to all you meritocracy advocates going after legacy admissions next.
