| Victor Davis Hanson: Harvard ‐ Out Of The Frying Pan, Into The Fire |
| 2024-01-05 |
| [Daily Caller] Harvard may assume the forced resignation of its president, Claudine Gay, has finally ended its month-long scandal over her tenure. Gay stepped down, remember, amid serious allegations of serial plagiarism — without refuting the charges. She proved either unable or unwilling to discipline those on her campus who were defiantly antisemitic in speech and action. But Gay’s removal is not the end of Harvard’s dilemma. Rather, it is the beginning. In the respective press releases from both Gay and the Harvard Corporation, racial animus was cited as a reason for her removal. Gay did not even refer to her failure to stop antisemitism on her campus or her own record of blatant plagiarism. Yet playing the race card reflects poorly on both and for a variety of reasons. One, Gay’s meager publication record — a mere eleven articles without a single published book of her own — had somehow earned her a prior Harvard full professorship and presidency. Such a thin résumé leading to academic stardom is unprecedented. Two, the University of Pennsylvania forced the resignation of its president, Liz Magill. She sat next to Gay during that now-infamous congressional hearing in which they both claimed they were unable to discipline blatant antisemitism on their campuses. |
