Claudine Gay is a DEI hire lacking intellectual credentials, critics argue
 [CampusReform] While calls for Harvard University President Claudine Gay to resign have only grown since her unwillingness to classify advocating for the genocide against Jews as violating campus policies during a congressional hearing earlier this week, others are calling out the university for allegedly hiring her because of identity politics.... New Mexico Associate Psychology Professor Geoffrey Miller also took to X on Dec. 6 to express concern over the relatively low total amount of 11 peer-reviewed journal papers that Gay had authored in spite of her being a president at an elite university. "Well, that’s about the number you’d normally need to get hired as a first-year tenure-track assistant professor at a decent state university," he wrote.This is truly shocking. Even I, little housewife that I am, had my name on three scientific publications as a mere undergrad — as the most junior author, to be sure, but even so — and they all derived from a single research project. It’s not hard to rack up the count when playing publish or perish games. Miller went on to acknowledge that today’s university "administrators function more like party political officers in communist Russian or Chinese universities." He added, "I mean ’party’ quite literally: the Democratic party." "And an increasing proportion of them are fully woke identitarian Leftists: they often launched their careers with a short series of papers on woke topics, using woke ideological frameworks, published in woke journals - before turning to the administrative track that offers much more political power to propagandize, indoctrinate, and control," Miller asserted.
