This looks set to escalate.

Now, you're aware.

Bunch of Fruit cakes

 

[transam]

Definitely me. Genocidal.

Oh

Some of my family may have been involved in assisting genocide

Possibly ??? May be ???

 

[transam]

Looks like the lady president who is head of Harvard university has had to resign

In part due to her inability to answer a direct question about whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated university rules ?

Afaik her response was

Depends on the context

 

[motorbiking]

Sounds like her work wasn’t hers either. Wonder how she got the job in the first place.

She's thick as shịt. I wouldn't be surprised if she voted Brexit!

What a strange question.

Surely it is just as bad as zionists who call for extermination of Palestinians.

So both should be violations of university rules.

I wonder if they are?

Of course they should be and would believe that to be the case

 

[JohnD]

So I would have expected a racist who calls for genocide, like filly, would be breaking their rules.

Iran is the stumbling block. Wipe the ******s out, problem solved.

It's not surprising that the first black President would be hounded out of office.

Dr Gay said calls for the killing of Jews were abhorrent. She added, however, that it would depend on the context whether such comments would constitute a violation of Harvard's code of conduct regarding bullying and harassment.

She gave a catogorical response from her personal viewpoint.

Then she gave her view on whether it violated the university's code of conduct.

It's like I have said many times in this forum, abuse is abhorrent.
It depends on the context (and who is giving that abuse) whether it violates the forums rules.

After rececieving racist hate mail (from supposedly critics of racism ) and criticism from students who misrepresented her comments, she decided to resign as the first black president in the Uni's history.

"While some of this has played out in the public domain, much of it has taken the form of repugnant and in some cases racist vitriol directed at her through disgraceful emails and phone calls,"

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67868280
I wonder how many students, who have difficulty differentiating between personal views and opinions about the Uni's codes of conduct, attend Harvard.

Racism is alive and kicking in good ole USA.

I see motorbiking is having trouble with his english comprehension again:

alleged plagiarism in her academic record

The board said that she did not violate standards for research misconduct.

The dogs were busy hounding the first black Uni president.

I've been accused of plagiarism in this forum (by people who can't even spell reasonably )
Despite multiple requests for evidence none has ever been presented.

 

[motorbiking]

Keep reading... Seems she makes a habit of not correctly citing other people's work... To have to revise your Ph.D due to allegations of plagiarism, is pretty poor. But the real issue was her inability to provide a clear answer to a simple question.

New York Republican Elise Stefanik asked the three women: "Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university's] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying and harassment? Yes or no?"
Each witness evaded a direct answer, saying "it depends on the context".

I have no doubt that the three women were being cornered, and trapped in to confessing their policies were falling short, but anyone who is smart enough to get a Ph.D (without cheating) should be aware that dodging a question gives a clear answer.

Harvard President Claudine Gay to Submit 3 Additional Corrections, Corporation Says Improper Citations Fall Short of Research Misconduct | News | The Harvard Crimson

Harvard President Claudine Gay will request three corrections to her 1997 Ph.D. dissertation in the latest series of updates Gay has submitted amid mounting allegations of plagiarism against the University’s embattled leader.

www.thecrimson.com

Harvard President Claudine Gay will request three corrections to her 1997 Ph.D. dissertation in the latest series of updates Gay has submitted amid mounting allegations of plagiarism.

The new corrections were announced Wednesday evening in a summary of a review undertaken by the Harvard Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — into Gay’s academic work after they became aware of the plagiarism allegations.

The additional corrections come less than one week after the University announced that Gay submitted four corrections across two articles that were the subjects of the Corporation’s initial review.

 

[JohnD]

Seems

Yes, anonymous allegations are a good way of attacking somebody you don't like.

Have you read the specific claims?

As your link says "The group found three instances of “inadequate citation” in Gay’s dissertation..."

Wow, get out the pitchforks.

"...one of which was nearly identical to “a missing citation or quotation mark that had already been identified in a published paper” — her 2001 article “The Effect of Black Congressional Representation on Political Participation” — which Gay has already corrected."

Set up a lynching.

I wonder how many times motorbiking has complained about allegations of academic plagiarism in the past?

Is it... none?

 

[motorbiking]

its easy to say it was a citation error, I've no doubt there were sinister objectives from those who dug up her near 30 year old work to find fault.

However, it was more than one occurrence and that resulted in her feeling she needed to resign. I'm sure if this had been Boris Johnson's work, you'd be the first to cry cheat.

It's sad that a person's reputation has been ruined due to a few minor errors.

 

[JohnD]

However, it was more than one occurrence and that resulted in her feeling she needed to resign.

You don't think she resigned because the torrent of abuse and attacks prevented her from doing her job?

 

[motorbiking]

Nope. I suspect like most resignations, it followed a "conversation". There would have been plenty of alternatives to take the heat off. That is not to suggest she was not targeted by some because she was black or because of bitterness over a possible positive discrimination agenda.

However, if you spend your entire working life dedicated to politics, race and racism, you better make sure that when asked a question about if something that is clearly racist, is racists, you don't say - it depends.
