It Looks Like Barack Obama Was Involved in Letting Harvard President Claudine Gay Keep Her Job

2023-12-23

[Townhall] Harvard President Claudine Gay continues to be embroiled in controversy not only for her particularly lacking response during a House Committee on Education & the Workforce congressional hearing earlier this month when it comes to if calls for genocide against Jews constitutes bullying and harassment, but also for allegations of plagiarism that just keep coming in. Even the mainstream media has started to turn on her. And yet the Harvard Corporation still voted unanimously last week to let Gay keep her job. It looks like Gay not only has Penny Pritzker, senior fellow of the Harvard Corporation, but also former President Barack Obama, whose administration Pritzker served in.

A Friday report from Jewish Insider mostly focuses on Pritzker, but Obama himself is in fact mentioned:

#12 Obama is quite familiar with plagiarism.
Check his SotU against Bill Clinton's.
13 words different.

#9 The longer this controversy goes the better that it is for our country. There is very little happening on Ivy League campuses that serves the interests of the American people.

#8 UW Sterling Hall searcher the late Robert Fausnacht might say it goes well beyond the Ivey League schools.

#6 Let Harvard rot with president Claudine. In typical practice the AA candidate is brought in to manage the decline.

Unlike Jimmy Carter I would have thought with Obama’s close relations with Hamas he would be the public face of peace in Gaza but he is no Jimmy Carter.

#5 Memory Holed, but Not the first visit to the house of plagiarism.

Recent scholarship by the Martin Luther King, Jr., Papers Project of the King Institute has revealed that as a student at Crozer and Boston, King frequently appropriated the words of other writers without proper attribution. Volumes I and II of The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr., have demonstrated that while his bibliographies contained the authors and books that he drew on in his own compositions, his papers often lacked the footnotes and quotation marks that identified his use of these sources in his text. His habit of plagiarizing others’ work, intentionally or not, can be found in the various drafts of his dissertation. King borrowed from several secondary sources without proper citation, including a dissertation written by fellow Crozer student Jack Boozer for DeWolf three years earlier, and a review of Tillich’s Systematic Theology written by one of King’s former professors.
