Harvard President Claudine Gay is facing six new plagiarism charges in another development of an unfolding academic scandal that has rocked one of America's most prestigious universities.

The new charges were first reported on by The Washington Free Beacon and included this claim: "In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin." The total number of plagiarism allegations against Gay are near 50, or "half of Gay's published works," according to the Free Beacon.

Some Harvard students have called on Gay to resign following weeks of allegations regarding her handling of campus antisemitism, as well the mounting accusations of plagiarism.

OOPS! I guess I will never learn to look before I post.

I have heard that there are a lot of students and student groups creating legal documention to protect themselves via what they are calling "Gay Clause".  Basically creating protection on the academia level of any consequences of plagerism, via perceived or not.

This pretty much completes the rot of higher education starting at the head.

Her resignation poses a challenge for the Board of Overseers.  The replacement absolutely must be a black lesbian, unless they can find a transsexual muslim.

How is that supposed to work?
I plagiarized someone's work, but you can't hold it against me because I created a document that says so?
Is that like little kids who think you can't see them because their eyes are closed?

Yep, and thus the corner higher education has painted itself in.  Kind of a if you can't hold yourself to standard of honor, how can rightfully and maybe legally expect that of students.

Might work at Harvard, since it is that formerly venerable institution that lowered its standards to not bounce a known plagiarist from its presidency.  If anyone tries it here at K-State, I'll sneer at them and ask them whether they think they're at Harvard.

I just wonder how much it cost Harvard to get her to resign...

She copied entire sections and grafs from other scholars academic papers. CNN should stick to doing shots on the air. It's the only thing they are honest about.

This is almost the perfect snapshot of the central problem with our basic institutions in this country. Money, lives, and futures on the line and the woke Left plays infantile preschool games, and the people continue to cater to and vote for it.

Forgive me if my perspective leans towards going Galt, getting out of the system, living in the underground economy, and letting it collapse under it's own weight.

Such a notion is only prescient.

CNN tries to explain away what Gay did.
"She has been accused of sort of more like copying other peoples writings without attribution. So it's been more sloppy attribution than stealing anyone's ideas."

Rancid Word Salad at its worst.  There's not enough spicy ranch dressing on earth to cover the toe-jam flavoring on that one.

[Free Vulcan]

CNN tries to explain away what Gay did.

  His 'explanation' is literally the definition of plagiarism. The words she 'copied' contain the very ideas that she stole and did not attribute.

Geez when it all collapses, always play the race card.  Who didn't see that coming a mile away. /s

She'll have Rev. Al and Jesse on camera with her in no time.  And a $100M lawsuit, that she'll settle for $10M.  Watch for it.

Maybe it's the rubber defense, you know like littles kids 'bounces of me and sticks to you'? It seems that each successive generation has less integrity or responsibility and feeeeels they are owed something without ever doing a damned thing to 'earn' it.

Yep.  And her (interim) replacement is a WHITE MALE, so that just proves it was all racism, the Patriarchy, and LGBTQIaphobia.  Or whatever.

Here's the guy who led the charge to get rid of the plagiarist.
