      Watching from the sidelines as these loaded with cash, lawyered up Ivy and MIT presidents get called out  from of all people a Harvard educated House member.   It got me thinking.

      Let me-be-clear because this is a context-dependent question.  Will any students transfer or any faculty resign?   Will any other of this year’s applicants re-consider?

      My thought was unlikely because I don’t think it’s in their consciousness. They are above it all.   And so long as the faculty is the tenure bubble they certainly don’t really care.

      After reading Mick’s post about the UW bragging about their published institutionalized racism in faculty hiring, the white guys better stay put.

      Incidentally, one of the authors whose work was plagiarized by Harvard President Caroline Gay is furious that Gay has not been disciplined. Dr. Carol Swain said it wasn’t just a few paragraphs, but that Gay essentially stole her work:

      Dr. Swain also said:

      “She became president of Harvard and got recognition as being its first black president. I don’t believe her record warranted tenure…Something changed in the mid-1990s, [when] we were having a big affirmative action debate…A white male would probably already be gone.”

      “I Am Angry”: Black Scholar Who Says Harvard Prez Plagiarized Her Work Is Livid As 5th Example Emerges

      National Association of Scholars president Peter Wood: “What does it mean if the Ph.D. dissertation is plagiarized? It means that the credential is based on falsehoods. It is, in effect, counterfeit currency.”
