Why is Harvard's president allowed to keep her job after flagrant anti-Semitism AND plagiarism violations?

The Harvard board is promising to let Harvard president Claudine Gay keep her job despite multiple scandals.

Not only has Gay been criticized for failing to say that calls for Jewish genocide violate Harvard’s policies — but she broke Harvard’s own code of conduct on plagiarism.

“And it’s a pretty significant amount of plagiarism,” Glenn Beck comments, adding, “including her doctoral dissertation.”

The doctoral dissertation contained parts that were wholly plagiarized, and the Harvard president never credited anyone.

“This has nothing to do with her testimony, but it has everything to do with how corrupt our universities are, how morally corrupt they are,” Glenn explains.

Washington Free Beacon staff writer Aaron Sibarium, who went to Yale and was the editor of the Yale Daily News, knows a few things about the Ivy League school and plagiarism.

“It doesn’t matter how small, it doesn’t matter if it’s unintentional — even if you do it with the best intentions, it’s still a serious problem,” Sibarium tells Glenn, adding that Harvard makes it extremely clear that “intent is irrelevant.”

“According to the letter of Harvard plagiarism policies, Gay clearly violated them,” he says.

Sibarium also notes that the Harvard Corporation “intimidated, may have even threatened to sue the New York Post for defamation after the New York Post reached out for comment” regarding the allegations against Gay.

“Harvard apparently took this seriously enough that they thought it was worth hiring the best defamation law firm in the country,” he adds.

But why are they taking it so seriously?

Sibarium believes it’s because Gay happens to be Harvard’s first black president, but more importantly she “is emblematic of the kind of DEI ideology that is regnant at Harvard.”

Not only that, but she was “at the center of a lot of cancellations” and “had a pattern of rewarding friends and punishing enemies.”

She also “seems to have kind of maneuvered the administration and bureaucratic apparatus of Harvard around her very shrewdly.”

“That’s part of how she became president, and I think that background may be part of why they’re so unwilling to let her go,” Sibarium adds.
