FRAUD ALERT: Claudine Gay is Still Employed by Harvard, Making $900K+ · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Harvard's president is out. That's right, the shortest tenure in
0:06
Speaker 1: history of Harvard. President Gay has resigned after rocky testimony
0:11
Speaker 1: and plagiarism allegations. Now, I want you to understand this
0:16
Speaker 1: scandal adequately, so you understand that this is not justice
0:20
Speaker 1: at all for what really should have gotten her in trouble.
0:24
Speaker 1: And that was what she said before Congress when she
0:28
Speaker 1: was testifying about anti semitism on campus and refusing to
0:35
Speaker 1: denounce those that were calling for genocide of the Jewish
0:39
Speaker 1: people on her campus. The Harvard president did not get
0:43
Speaker 1: fired for that.
0:44
Speaker 2: In fact, the.
0:44
Speaker 1: University rallied behind her, the alumni rallied behind her, other
0:49
Speaker 1: professors rallied behind her. The anti Semitism was acceptable at
0:54
Speaker 1: Harvard and in the academic world extended. Now there was
0:58
Speaker 1: another reason why she also wasn't fired compared to the
1:01
Speaker 1: University of Penn president, who did the same exact thing,
1:04
Speaker 1: said the same thing when she was testifying before Congress.
1:08
Speaker 1: The difference was Harvard President Gay is a woman who
1:14
Speaker 1: is a minority. She's black, and that is part of
1:18
Speaker 1: the reason why she didn't have to worry about losing
1:20
Speaker 1: her job for being anti Semitic. Is because she is
1:24
Speaker 1: black and protected in two categories.
1:27
Speaker 2: She's a woke progressive and.
1:30
Speaker 1: A bigot as well as an anti semite, a racist,
1:34
Speaker 1: all of the above. And yet because she has the
1:37
Speaker 1: right color of skin and she is a woman and
1:40
Speaker 1: a hardcore lefty, she can say and do whatever she
1:43
Speaker 1: wants without having to worry about any repercussions. Now, there
1:48
Speaker 1: are some that are trying to report her firing now
1:52
Speaker 1: is related to that testimony. I want to make it
1:56
Speaker 1: clear it is not. She was not fired for her testimony.
2:00
Speaker 1: She was protected by the university for her being an
2:04
Speaker 1: anti semi. What got her in trouble was allegations, and
2:10
Speaker 1: they kept mounting more and more allegations of straight up
2:14
Speaker 1: plagiarism for her academic work since she gave that testimony
2:20
Speaker 1: before Congress. Now, in a letter to the Harvard community,
2:24
Speaker 1: gay centered, decision to set down had been quote difficult
2:27
Speaker 1: beyond words. Try being a Jewish student on campus with
2:31
Speaker 1: you as the president. It would be actually difficult beyond words,
2:35
Speaker 1: she said, quote. After consultation with members of the corporation,
2:38
Speaker 1: it has become clear that it is in the best
2:40
Speaker 1: interest of Harvard for me to resign so that our
2:44
Speaker 1: community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a
2:49
Speaker 1: focus on the institution rather than an individual. Again, Harvard,
2:54
Speaker 1: the corporation, the university's eleven member governing body, set in
2:59
Speaker 1: an email to the community that its members had accepted
3:02
Speaker 1: Gay's resignation quote with sorrow, so they weren't really trying
3:06
Speaker 1: to push her out.
3:07
Speaker 2: It was just the fact that how.
3:09
Speaker 1: Does Harvard say they're a IVY League university if their
3:12
Speaker 1: president has been caught plagiarizing cheating multiple times. Now, the
3:19
Speaker 1: former University of Pennsylvania president Liz McGill, and the MIT president,
3:26
Speaker 1: they all were together when they testified before the US
3:29
Speaker 1: House of Representatives Committee on December fifth about a rise
3:33
Speaker 1: in anti Semitism on college campuses following the outbreak of
3:37
Speaker 1: the Israeli Hamas War in October. The trio declined to
3:41
Speaker 1: give a defensive yes or no answer to Republican Representative
3:45
Speaker 1: Stephoni's question as to whether calling for the genocide of
3:50
Speaker 1: Jews would violate their school's code of conduct regarding bullying
3:53
Speaker 1: and harassment, saying they had to balance it against free
3:57
Speaker 1: speech protections. Now, one of those three presidents actually got fired,
4:03
Speaker 1: and the only reason to be clear why the University
4:06
Speaker 1: of pen president got fired or stepped down. Let's be clear,
4:09
Speaker 1: she actually didn't get fired either. She's still a tenured
4:12
Speaker 1: law professor, still teaching anti Semitic law right at the
4:16
Speaker 1: University of penn She didn't lose her paycheck, She didn't
4:20
Speaker 1: lose anything except for a title. She is still very
4:24
Speaker 1: much protected by the University of Pennsylvania. Liz is still there,
4:30
Speaker 1: still indoctrinating minds of students to hate Jewish people. Now,
4:35
Speaker 1: she did step down from being the president only because
4:39
Speaker 1: there were so much money, hundreds of millions that were
4:42
Speaker 1: being pulled if she was not taken out of the
4:47
Speaker 1: position of being the president. Moved to Harvard. Harvard and
4:53
Speaker 1: there was many people at Harvard that said, we're going
4:55
Speaker 1: to pull our money. There were some law firms that
4:57
Speaker 1: said they would stop recruiting law students from the University
5:01
Speaker 1: of Harvard Law School, and they continued to be defiant.
5:05
Speaker 1: It is not the anti Semite aspect of this. It
5:09
Speaker 1: is only the fact that they're like, all right, how
5:11
Speaker 1: do we at Harvard hold students to account when they cheat?
5:16
Speaker 1: If the president of Harvard has been caught multiple times cheating,
5:21
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even by the way once right, there
5:23
Speaker 1: was first there was her dissertation that they caught, and
5:26
Speaker 1: then it got worse and worse and worse. It looks
5:29
Speaker 1: like she basically cheated on every major paper or accomplishment
5:34
Speaker 1: that she had in her academic record that people could find.
5:37
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to tell you more about that, because
5:39
Speaker 1: there's also another aspect of this. The mainstream media did
5:41
Speaker 1: not do the reporting that brought her down. It was
5:44
Speaker 1: actually the Free Beacon and others conservatives that did the
5:47
Speaker 1: digging on her dissertation of the things to find out
5:51
Speaker 1: that she was a cheater and just made it up
5:54
Speaker 1: as she went. But let me also remind you of
5:57
Speaker 1: what Harvard protected. This is what she said to Representative
6:02
Speaker 1: Stephanic at that hearing, and the Harvard present shamefully refusing
6:07
Speaker 1: with arrogance to say whether calling for the mass violence
6:11
Speaker 1: and genocide of the Jewish people is considered harassment or
6:14
Speaker 1: bullying on campus. And she did not get fired for this,
6:18
Speaker 1: And that is the point that everybody needs to understand.
6:20
Speaker 2: Listen, doctor Gay.
6:22
Speaker 3: A Harvard student calling for the mass murder of African
6:24
Speaker 3: Americans is not protected free speech at Harvard.
6:27
Speaker 4: Correct Our commitment to It's a yes or no question.
6:31
Speaker 4: Is that corrected?
6:32
Speaker 3: Is that okay for students to call for the mass
6:34
Speaker 3: murder of African Americans at Harvard?
6:36
Speaker 4: Is that protected free speech? Our commitment to free school?
6:40
Speaker 4: It's a yes or no question. Let me ask you this.
6:44
Speaker 3: You are president of Harvard, so I assume you're familiar
6:46
Speaker 3: with the term into fata.
6:47
Speaker 4: Correct. I've heard that term, yes.
6:50
Speaker 3: And you understand that the use of the term into
6:53
Speaker 3: fada in the context of the Israeli Arab conflict is
6:56
Speaker 3: indeed a call for violent arm resistance against the state
6:59
Speaker 3: of including violence against civilians and the genocide of Jews.
7:03
Speaker 4: Are you aware of.
7:04
Speaker 5: That that type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me?
7:10
Speaker 3: And there have been multiple marches at Harvard with students chanting,
7:13
Speaker 3: quote there is only one solution into fada, revolution and
7:17
Speaker 3: quote globalize the intofada.
7:19
Speaker 4: Is that correct?
7:21
Speaker 5: I've heard that thoughtless, reckless and hateful language on our campus.
7:27
Speaker 3: Yes, So, based upon your testimony, you understand that this
7:31
Speaker 3: call for intefada is to commit genocide against the Jewish
7:35
Speaker 3: people in Israel and globally.
7:37
Speaker 4: Correct.
7:39
Speaker 5: I will say again that type of hateful speech is
7:43
Speaker 5: personally abhorrent to me?
7:45
Speaker 3: Do you believe that type of hateful speech is contrary
7:49
Speaker 3: to Harvard's code of conduct?
7:51
Speaker 4: Or is it allowed at Harvard? It is at odds
7:54
Speaker 4: with the values of Harvard.
7:56
Speaker 3: Can you not say here that it is against the
7:58
Speaker 3: code of conduct at Harvard?
8:00
Speaker 5: We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views
8:04
Speaker 5: that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. It's when that speech crosses
8:12
Speaker 5: into conduct that violates our policies against bullying around.
8:16
Speaker 4: Does that speech not cost that barrier?
8:18
Speaker 3: Does that speech not call for the genocide of Jews
8:21
Speaker 3: and the elimination of Israel?
8:24
Speaker 4: When you testify that you.
8:25
Speaker 3: Understand that is the definition of intofada.
8:29
Speaker 1: Let me just pause there. What she just said there
8:32
Speaker 1: is not what got her fired. It's the fact that
8:35
Speaker 1: she cheated so many times and plagiarize so many times
8:40
Speaker 1: to a point where you couldn't defend it, and it
8:42
Speaker 1: was going to undermine everything that everybody had ever done
8:47
Speaker 1: that was great at Harvard, and it had become a distraction.
8:51
Speaker 1: It is not the anti Semitic rhetoric. This president set
8:57
Speaker 1: there and smirked, set there in mind. Congress set there
9:02
Speaker 1: and made it clear that if you are a student
9:03
Speaker 1: at the University of Harvard. You can call for the
9:06
Speaker 1: genocide of Jews on campus and anywhere in the world,
9:11
Speaker 1: and there will be no repercussions from the University of
9:15
Speaker 1: Harvard's perspective. And then she's challenged on it, and keep
9:19
Speaker 1: listening because it gets worse.
9:21
Speaker 2: She's like, I won't.
9:23
Speaker 1: I'm not going to agree to anything that you and
9:25
Speaker 1: Congress are trying to tell me to agree to.
9:28
Speaker 2: You know I can.
9:29
Speaker 1: I will defend the students calling for For INTI fought
9:33
Speaker 1: a calling for the genocide of Jews. This is what
9:36
Speaker 1: Harvard is teaching your kids. This is their leadership.
9:41
Speaker 3: Is that speech according to the Code of Conduct or not.
9:45
Speaker 5: We embrace a commitment to free expression and give a
9:48
Speaker 5: wide berth to free expression, even of views that are objectionable.
9:53
Speaker 4: You and I both know that's not the case.
9:55
Speaker 3: You are aware that Harvard ranked dead last when it
9:58
Speaker 3: came to free speech?
9:59
Speaker 4: Are you not aware of that report?
10:02
Speaker 5: As I observed earlier, I reject that characterization.
10:06
Speaker 4: It's the data shows it's true.
10:08
Speaker 3: And isn't it true that Harvard previously rescinded multiple offers
10:12
Speaker 3: of admissions for applicants and accepted freshmen for sharing offensive memes,
10:17
Speaker 3: racist statements, sometimes as young as sixteen years old. Did
10:20
Speaker 3: Harvard not rescind those offers of admission?
10:23
Speaker 5: That long predates my time as present.
10:25
Speaker 3: But you understand that Harvard made that decision to resin
10:28
Speaker 3: those offers of admission.
10:29
Speaker 5: I have no reason to contradict the facts as you
10:32
Speaker 5: present them.
10:32
Speaker 4: Correct, because it's a fact.
10:33
Speaker 3: You're also aware that a Winthrop House faculty dean was
10:37
Speaker 3: let go over who he chose to legally represent.
10:41
Speaker 4: Correct, that was while you were dean. That is an
10:44
Speaker 4: incorrect characterization. Avoid transfer. What's the characterization?
10:48
Speaker 5: I'm not going to get into details about a personnel matter.
10:52
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this, Will admissions offers be
10:54
Speaker 3: rescinded or any disciplinary action be taken against students or
10:59
Speaker 3: applicants who say from the River to the sea or
11:02
Speaker 3: into Fada advocating for the murder of Jews?
11:05
Speaker 5: As I've said, that type of hateful, reckless, offensive speech
11:11
Speaker 5: is personally abhorrent to me.
11:14
Speaker 3: And today that no action will be taken. What action
11:16
Speaker 3: will be taken?
11:17
Speaker 5: When speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies, including
11:21
Speaker 5: policies against bullying, harassment, or intimidation, we take action and
11:26
Speaker 5: we have robust disciplinary processes that allow us to hold
11:31
Speaker 5: individuals accountable.
11:32
Speaker 3: What action has been taken against students who are harassing
11:36
Speaker 3: and calling for the genocide of Jews on Harvard's campus.
11:41
Speaker 4: I can assure you we have robust what actions have
11:44
Speaker 4: been taken?
11:45
Speaker 3: I'm not askingations underway, I'm asking what actions have been
11:48
Speaker 3: taken against and students.
11:50
Speaker 5: Given students' rights to privacy and our obligations under FURPA,
11:56
Speaker 5: I will not say more about any specific cases other
11:59
Speaker 5: than to reiterate that processes are ongoing.
12:03
Speaker 1: Processes are ongoing. I'm not going to tell you what
12:07
Speaker 1: I've done. So she leaves that meeting, that committee meeting
12:10
Speaker 1: on December the fifth, smiling, smirking, and basically saying, I
12:15
Speaker 1: don't have.
12:16
Speaker 2: To answer your questions.
12:18
Speaker 1: More than seventy US lawmakers then signed a letter demanding
12:21
Speaker 1: that the governing boards of the three universities removed the presence,
12:24
Speaker 1: setting dissatisfaction with their testimony. Then fast forward, McGill resigned,
12:30
Speaker 1: receiving backlash for her comments at University of Penn Remember,
12:34
Speaker 1: she's not protected, right, She's a white woman, so can't
12:37
Speaker 1: be protected. Okay, she's a woman, But there was money
12:40
Speaker 1: there was people and donors saying, if she keeps her job,
12:42
Speaker 1: you lose my fifty million, my twenty million, my one
12:45
Speaker 1: hundred million. Harvard, on the other hand, they said, no,
12:50
Speaker 1: we're going to stay. We're going to stand by you
12:53
Speaker 1: because we back what you're saying, we back what you're doing. Then,
12:59
Speaker 1: thank goodness, there were conservatives that move forward and said,
13:04
Speaker 1: all right, let's see what else this woman has said
13:07
Speaker 1: in her past. Now we know the Harvard president Gay
13:12
Speaker 1: has resigned amid a deepening plagiarism scandal that has nothing
13:16
Speaker 1: to do with her testimony, which was that, hey, at Harvard,
13:20
Speaker 1: you can hate Jewish people and call for them to
13:24
Speaker 1: be systemically wiped off the face of the earth with genocide.
13:29
Speaker 1: She resigned on Tuesday, following this a disastrous congressional testimony. No, instead,
13:37
Speaker 1: scores of plagiarism allegations being unearthed in recent weeks. Her
13:43
Speaker 1: six month tenure marks the shortest tenure in Harvard's history,
13:50
Speaker 1: and her resignation, just six months and two days into
13:53
Speaker 1: her presidency, marks her tenure as the president. She will
13:56
Speaker 1: go down as the shortest in history. That according to
14:00
Speaker 1: report by the Harvard Crimson. Now, let's talk about what
14:04
Speaker 1: she is accused of doing that actually got her fired again,
14:09
Speaker 1: it is not what you think, which is her anti
14:12
Speaker 1: Semitic beliefs, because Harvard has no problem hating Jews. Now,
14:17
Speaker 1: these plagiarism allegations surfaced in official academic complaints against the
14:23
Speaker 1: Harvard president. These allegations that had been unearthed in an
14:27
Speaker 1: official academic complaint against the Harvard president. This came a
14:33
Speaker 1: week after more than forty other allegations of plagiarism against
14:37
Speaker 1: Gay had been given to the university. Those documents were
14:43
Speaker 1: obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Let me read for
14:47
Speaker 1: you what the Free Beacon wrote about this again. Harvard's
14:51
Speaker 1: Research Integrity Office received the complaint on Tuesday, detailing over
14:55
Speaker 1: forty cases of alleged plagiarism. Harvard University receive the complaint
14:59
Speaker 1: out lying the forty allegations of plagiarism against the embattled president.
15:04
Speaker 1: The documents pan a picture of a pattern of misconduct
15:07
Speaker 1: more extensive than had been previously reported, and puts the
15:11
Speaker 1: Harvard Corporation, the university's governing body, which said it initiated
15:16
Speaker 1: an independent review of Gay's scholarship and issued a statement
15:20
Speaker 1: of support for her leadership back in the spotlight. The
15:23
Speaker 1: new allegations, which were submitted to Harvard's Research Integrity Officer
15:28
Speaker 1: Stacy Springs, include the examples reported by the Washington Free
15:32
Speaker 1: Beacon as well as other outlets, as well as as
15:36
Speaker 1: dozens of additional cases in which Gay quoted or paraphrase
15:40
Speaker 1: authors without proper attribution that according to a copy of
15:44
Speaker 1: the complaint reviewed by the Free Beacon, they range from
15:48
Speaker 1: missing quotation marks around a few phrases or sentences to
15:51
Speaker 1: entire paragraphs lifted verbatim and then passed along as her
15:55
Speaker 1: own words. The full list of examples spanned seven of
16:00
Speaker 1: Gay's publications, two more than previously reported, which compromise almost
16:06
Speaker 1: half of her scholarly output. Though the Harvard Corporation said
16:11
Speaker 1: earlier this month that it initiated a quote independent review
16:14
Speaker 1: of Gay's work in October and found, their words, no
16:18
Speaker 1: violation of Harvard's standards for research misconduct. That probe focused
16:24
Speaker 1: on just three papers. It's impossible that your office is
16:28
Speaker 1: already reviewed the entirety of these materials, the complaint reads,
16:33
Speaker 1: as many have not been previously reported and or submitted.
16:37
Speaker 1: All allegations of faculty plagiarism must be reviewed. By Harvard's
16:42
Speaker 1: Research Integrity Officer according to the school's official policies, and
16:48
Speaker 1: if deemed credible, are referred for further investigation. A guilty
16:54
Speaker 1: funding can result in a range of consequences, including suspension,
16:59
Speaker 1: rank reduction, and termination of employment. In determining the appropriate sanction,
17:06
Speaker 1: the school claims to consider whether the misconduct was an
17:10
Speaker 1: isolate event or.
17:12
Speaker 2: A part of a pattern quote unquote.
17:14
Speaker 1: Lurking in the background of the new complaint is the
17:17
Speaker 1: question of whether gay Harvard's thirtieth present will be held
17:21
Speaker 1: to the same standards as the university's own students, dozens
17:25
Speaker 1: of whom are disciplined for plagiarism each year. The school
17:29
Speaker 1: has typically been softer on faculty accused of academic dishonesty,
17:32
Speaker 1: either giving them a symbolic slap on the wrists or
17:36
Speaker 1: dismissing the charges altogether. There's a double standard, and now
17:40
Speaker 1: it has outraged the students. Back in two thousand and five,
17:44
Speaker 1: for example, the Harvard declined to sanction one of its
17:46
Speaker 1: star law professors, Larry Tribe, after he playediarize.
17:50
Speaker 2: Just one author.
17:52
Speaker 1: The Harvard Crimson's Editorial Board LAMB blasted the glaring double
17:56
Speaker 1: standard and demanded tribe be punished caught plagiarizing, or routinely
18:02
Speaker 1: suspended for semesters or even entire academic years for professors
18:06
Speaker 1: who plagiarize. However, not even a modification of punishment seems
18:12
Speaker 1: to be in play. The Free Beacon independently verified the
18:17
Speaker 1: veracity of the new allegations against Gay, as well as
18:20
Speaker 1: the identity of the complainant, a professor at another university
18:25
Speaker 1: who requested amininity for fear of retaliation. Harvard did not
18:29
Speaker 1: respond to requests for comment when they exposed all of this.
18:34
Speaker 1: When Gay gave her disastrous testimony to Congress and her
18:39
Speaker 1: tone death answers to questions about anti Semitism, including one
18:43
Speaker 1: excruciating exchange in which Gay refused to say that calls
18:47
Speaker 1: for genocide violated Harvard policy. You have to remember that
18:52
Speaker 1: that testimony prompted a quote fake and I call it
18:56
Speaker 1: fake because clearly they were just more of like, all right,
18:58
Speaker 1: we got to act like we care. They had a
19:01
Speaker 1: fake emergency meeting of the Harvard Corporation to quote decide
19:05
Speaker 1: Gay's fate. Guess what they stood by her? Right, the
19:09
Speaker 1: board deliberated they stood by her, and then they're like
19:13
Speaker 1: all right, Well, we don't have a problem with this
19:15
Speaker 1: because clearly we're anti Israel at Harvard as well, and
19:18
Speaker 1: she's a protected woman who's African American, so we can
19:21
Speaker 1: do whatever we want to, and we support Marxists and
19:24
Speaker 1: socialists and communists being in positions of power of these universities.
19:28
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what was on display in front of Congress.
19:33
Speaker 1: It only brought to light that Gay had plagiarized, and
19:37
Speaker 1: I'm reading now from the article nearly twenty scholars over
19:41
Speaker 1: the course of her career. Additional examples were uncovered by
19:46
Speaker 1: the Manhattan Institutes, Christopher Ruffo, and the New York Posts. Also,
19:52
Speaker 1: Isabelle Vincent exposed even more plagiarism by the President of
19:56
Speaker 1: Harvard in its statement.
19:58
Speaker 2: By the way, voicing support for Gay.
20:00
Speaker 1: The Harvard Corporation, which is led by Obama administration Secretary
20:05
Speaker 1: of Commerce. It includes the former presidence of Princeton University
20:11
Speaker 1: and Amherst College. So if you want to understand who's
20:14
Speaker 1: running our universities, these are the people doing it.
20:16
Speaker 2: Okay, They did not.
20:18
Speaker 1: Clarify who conducted the investigation into quote Gay's research, which
20:24
Speaker 1: articles it covered, or whether it adhered to Harvard's policies
20:28
Speaker 1: for investigating research misconduct. A spokesman for Gay and the
20:33
Speaker 1: Harvard Corporation did not respond to requests for comments either,
20:36
Speaker 1: So they were basically like, all right, look, we're going
20:38
Speaker 1: to try to cover this up.
20:39
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens now.
20:40
Speaker 1: The statement also admitted that Harvard retained the bulldog litigation
20:45
Speaker 1: firm clark Lock, which boasts on its website of representing
20:48
Speaker 1: those unfairly quote unquote targeted by the media. Claire Locke
20:55
Speaker 1: then threatened The New York Post, the outlet that first
20:58
Speaker 1: brought the articles to the school's attention, with legal action that,
21:03
Speaker 1: according to the Post reporting, successfully suppressing the story for
21:07
Speaker 1: nearly two months. Clailock's unfairly targeted clients include Matt Lauer
21:14
Speaker 1: and Russian oligarchs such as the one who is under
21:17
Speaker 1: US sanctions right now, Olik. Though the initial review cleared
21:23
Speaker 1: Gay of any wrongdoing, that's what the university said. The
21:26
Speaker 1: corporation said that the president was proactively questioning corrections on
21:30
Speaker 1: two papers. So when that wasn't enough to bring down
21:34
Speaker 1: the president of Harvard, right, they're still covering for her.
21:38
Speaker 1: Then the new complaints came out. They forced a more
21:42
Speaker 1: comprehensive reckoning at a time when even liberal media outlets,
21:47
Speaker 1: including at this point now The Boston Globe, The Chronicle
21:50
Speaker 1: of Higher Education, and The Crimson were talking and taking
21:54
Speaker 1: concerns about Gay's scholarship seriously. It could also hold her
22:00
Speaker 1: Harvard's feet to the fire over the school's legal threat
22:02
Speaker 1: to the Post to move, the complaint says, violate the
22:05
Speaker 1: school's own research misconduct policy, which forbids retaliation against complainants. Right, well,
22:13
Speaker 1: apparently not right, because they're hiring a law firm and
22:17
Speaker 1: then going after holding an article from The New York
22:20
Speaker 1: Post they had to hold for almost two months. Even
22:25
Speaker 1: apparent retaliation must be reported to Harvard's Research integrity officer,
22:29
Speaker 1: who should protect and restore the position and reputation of
22:33
Speaker 1: the person against whom the retaliation has directed.
22:36
Speaker 2: The policy states.
22:38
Speaker 1: The complainant asks Harvard to open a separate inquiry into
22:41
Speaker 1: whether this policy was followed. So, if you think that
22:47
Speaker 1: this is some sort of justice for what she said
22:51
Speaker 1: in front of Congress, you're being lied to. If you
22:54
Speaker 1: think that she was fired because of her anti Semitic remarks,
22:59
Speaker 1: you are being lied to. Harvard has no problem with
23:04
Speaker 1: anti Semitism. I'm going to say that again, Harvard has
23:09
Speaker 1: no problem with anti semitism with those who hate Jews.
23:14
Speaker 1: In fact, they will protect you and they will grow
23:18
Speaker 1: your influence and your sphere if you are anti Semitic
23:21
Speaker 1: at the university. Second thing is this, Harvard also has
23:27
Speaker 1: no problem with people that are successful that cheat as
23:33
Speaker 1: long as they are I guess anti Semites. In the
23:36
Speaker 1: process of doing that, Harvard protected at all costs.
23:42
Speaker 2: I mean at all costs.
23:45
Speaker 1: Harvard protected their president when it came to anti semitism.
23:49
Speaker 1: It was just the fact that they couldn't overlook the
23:54
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty, the growing number of complaints, these six
24:00
Speaker 1: charges of plagiarism, half of Gay's published works now implicated
24:04
Speaker 1: in this growing scandal, was too much for Harvard to
24:07
Speaker 1: protect her anymore because of the complaint filed with the university,
24:12
Speaker 1: breathing fresh life into this president's lack of work ethic.
24:19
Speaker 2: Now, if you look at.
24:20
Speaker 1: The total number, and this has just been reported now
24:23
Speaker 1: by the Free Beacon, the presidency of Gay had a
24:29
Speaker 1: total of allegations that was now of plagiarism now nearing fifty.
24:35
Speaker 2: Let me break that down for you.
24:37
Speaker 1: Seven of Gay's seventeen published works have already been impacted
24:43
Speaker 1: by the scandal, but the new charges, which have not
24:47
Speaker 1: been previously reported, extended into an eighth and a two
24:51
Speaker 1: thousand and one article, Gay lifts nearly half a page
24:54
Speaker 1: of material verbatim from another scholar, David Cannon, a political
24:59
Speaker 1: science professor start at the University of Wisconsin. That article,
25:03
Speaker 1: The Effect of Minority Districts and Minority Representation on political
25:09
Speaker 1: participation in California, include some of the most extreme and
25:13
Speaker 1: clearcut cases of plagiarism. Yet at one point, Gay Borrow's
25:17
Speaker 1: four sentences from Canon's nineteen ninety nine book Race, Redistricting
25:22
Speaker 1: and Representation The Unintended Consequences of Black Majority Districts, without
25:28
Speaker 1: quotation marks and.
25:29
Speaker 2: With only minor.
25:31
Speaker 1: Semantical tweaks to the text. She does not cite Canon
25:37
Speaker 1: anywhere in or near the passage, though he does appear
25:40
Speaker 1: in the bigbliography Beyond that, Gay's first two footnotes are
25:46
Speaker 1: copied verbatim from Canon's end notes. You can see them
25:50
Speaker 1: side by side now on my Twitter you could our
25:53
Speaker 1: ax Ben Ferguson's show There Canon, like several of the scholars,
25:58
Speaker 1: Gay has quoted without attribution and insisted that she had
26:01
Speaker 1: done nothing wrong quote The Free Beacon, I am not
26:05
Speaker 1: at all concerned about the passages ken and told the
26:08
Speaker 1: Washington Free Beacon, this isn't even close to an example
26:11
Speaker 1: of academic plagiarism. Though Harvard's governing body, the Harvard Corporation,
26:16
Speaker 1: set in mid December that it had reviewed Gay's published
26:20
Speaker 1: works and found several cases of inadequate citations, it did
26:24
Speaker 1: not identify any of the examples ascribed, and the new complaint,
26:27
Speaker 1: which was submitted to the school's Research Integrity officer, the
26:31
Speaker 1: reviews were clear time and time again she decided to
26:37
Speaker 1: take words from others and plagiarize them verbatim. Another example
26:43
Speaker 1: was in another paper, and the allegation that was filed
26:47
Speaker 1: Monday also included more material from Gay's dissertation, which has
26:50
Speaker 1: already received three corrections, and one of the new examples. Gay,
26:54
Speaker 1: who works in quantitative political science, let's say full sentence
26:59
Speaker 1: from her thesis advisor Gary King to describe a mathematical model.
27:05
Speaker 1: She does not cite King in the in the document
27:08
Speaker 1: at all, or put his words in quotation marks. If
27:12
Speaker 1: you put them side by side, they read verbatim. So
27:16
Speaker 1: what did you learn from all this. This is a
27:19
Speaker 1: woman that every time she did something that was important,
27:22
Speaker 1: she didn't do it on her own. She took words
27:25
Speaker 1: from other people and used those words and decided to
27:30
Speaker 1: use those words to make herself look brilliant. That's why
27:35
Speaker 1: Harvard was forced to get rid of her and to
27:38
Speaker 1: force her resignation. It was not, I will say this again,
27:43
Speaker 1: it was not because of her anti Semitism. Did Harvard
27:49
Speaker 1: write the wrong and get rid of someone who is
27:53
Speaker 1: an anti Semite? Know they protected her till the very
27:56
Speaker 1: end as an anti Semite.
27:59
Speaker 2: Do not be fooled by what this actually is.
28:03
Speaker 1: Make sure that you share this podcast, please with your
28:06
Speaker 1: family and your friends. It's very important that you do
28:09
Speaker 1: that so they can hear the real story of why
28:13
Speaker 1: Gay was fired or why I guess you could say
28:16
Speaker 1: she resigned from Harvard and I'll see you back here
28:18
Speaker 1: tomorrow
