    Well, it took 10 times what it wold have to make a white man resign.

    I'm sure the next president will check just as many boxes.

    If I may, irrelevant of party, if one were to look into the US Congress, and the white males that have transgressed as overtly and obtusely as possible, my money is on more than 10 times, and more than one. What say you !!!

    Even the Biden speech/Harris interview decoder ring is struggling with what you said. Can you please clarify.

    She was a garbage human anyways. Lied her way to the top. Now she is resigned in absolute shame. Will he remembered as the fraud and racist she was.

    Hopefully our colleges get better because they need a reformation.

    It seems like what they were trying to say was white men are worse but kinda said the opposite by mistake. Drunk mabye? Idk lol.

    Either way I'm glad to see this horrible human being resigning and getting away from our youth.

    Sad it took so much to make this happen. A straight white male in the same position would have been fired.

    She’s no longer president but will remain on the faculty.

    https://nypost.com/2024/01/02/news/claudine-gay-set-to-keep-800k-salary-despite-resigning/#

    “Political Science professor Gay — who stepped down amid a tempest of allegations she did not do enough to combat antisemitism and academic plagiarism Tuesday — will now return to a position on the Cambridge, Mass., school’s faculty.

    Prior to being named president just six months ago, Gay earned $879,079 as a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean in 2021 and $824,068 in 2020, according to records published by the university.

    Her new position was not specified Tuesday, but she is expected to receive a salary comparable with what she previously received — if not higher.”

    And it's not quite the loss of a job that people will think.
    She will return to a Harvard professorship in political science- and be paid around $900,000.00 a year..... Palgeurism still pays well, and the rules of DEI seem to embrace such people despite disqualifying conduct.

    (Newsmax article, quoting NY POST:\

    Harvard's Resigning President to Retain Near $900K Salary


    By Mark Swanson | Tuesday, 02 January

    Erstwhile Harvard President Claudine Gay will retain nearly $900,000 in salary despite resigning earlier Tuesday over rampant allegations of academic plagiarism that surfaced in the wake of her dubious congressional testimony about antisemitism early last month, the New York Post reported.

    Gay will reset to the Harvard faculty as a political science professor but will continue to be paid a salary in excess of $850,000, according to the Post. Gay was a professor of government at Harvard beginning in 2006.

    Gay earned $879,079 as a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean in 2021, according to the Post, citing university records.

    "It's unacceptable when you have students at Harvard who would be expelled for plagiarism to allow a faculty member who has nearly 50 examples of plagiarism in their very slim body of academic work. It's absurd and everybody know it. Harvard knows it too."

    A good article but so what. Harvard is a private school and can do what ever they want; as long as the dollars keep rolling in. People can choose to apply to or remain at Harvard. I fully support a free market system and if Harvard wants to hire someone for their sexual choices or skin color, then bully for them. We the market can then decide if we believe a professor is worth $900k per annum.

    What bothers me most is that she NEVER would have been forced to resign if it weren't for the insane number of plagiarism charges. She would have skated on the antisemitism because Jews are white and discrimination against whites is central to the grand liberal/socialist plan.

    From the little bit of her work that I read, she seemed to concentrate on black issues. If that's the case, then she should have seen the intimidation and hate spewed towards Harvard Jews and likened it to what blacks have/had to go through and her first thought should have been 'not again.' But like you said, Jews are white.

    That's where you're wrong. The insane level of tuition is supported by liberal politicians who pass generous student loan programs to reward their loyal patrons in academia, pushing their salaries to the stratosphere. Then they come along and try to forgive the student loans to make the taxpayers fund their buddies in education who brainwash future generations for them.

    What gets me is that she’s still employed and getting paid an insane amount. What does this tell us? Being a fraud is perfectly OK with Harvard. Hehe.

    Two reasons she's still employed:

    1) The liberals would go insane if they outright fired her.

    2) As long as they pay her, she keeps her mouth shut. Otherwise she'd be on every mainstream media platform whining about being fired for being a po' black woman.

    nobody need apply. I support the free market and absolutely do not support bailing out those who took on student loans.

    Too late. She already blamed it on racism, haha. Along with all the usual suspects.
