maybe they could just hire a new president who has previous experience at another institution of higher education where they had success with the initiatives that they created and lead the school with, you know, maybe hiring somebody based on merits..historian said:
Does anyone in Harvard administration have that much courage? Doubtful.

Harvard's recent disgrace, the forced resignation of President Claudine Gay, is not just a story of academic misconduct but a stark revelation of the decay of intellectual integrity under the guise of progressive elitism... Read More:

Associated Progressives (AP) is trying to run the false narrative that "white colonists" invented scalping "to eradicate Native Americans," without noting that, in fact, the Indians originated the practice in North America and, in modern times, it is a common journalistic phrase. pic.twitter.com/LmiippwIu0

Major lesson of the half victory on Gay (still makes 900k a year not to do very much - she doesn’t publish even when not plagiarizing) is that open social media platforms make RW cancel culture possible. What really freaks left out is seeing their own tactics take down their own.

Most of the elite, left-wing news sources don't even pretend anymore. I think it really started during Obama but got really bad during 2012 during the first burn, loot, murder episodes.Porteroso said:
The AP has been getting more biased for the past 20 years but thats it for me. Conservatives have a new weapon and it is plagiarism? So write your own dissertation and strip the conservatives of their big guns! So stupid I can hardly believe it.
all narrative, all the time....historian said:
They aren't journalists. They are propagandists who act like their degrees are from the Joseph Goebbels School of "Journalism".

Ackman plans to use AI in a massive plagiarism review for all of the MIT faculty. Next up Harvard's entire faculty and suggests donors will want this for every other school from an independent 3rd party review company.

Not surprising. I will sometimes listen to Victor Davis Hanson's podcast, and he will talk about his experiences over the years in a very similar way. Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans - the "good" POCs - get admitted with exponentially lower scores and then effectively will graduate regardless of the qualify of their work.OsoCoreyell said:
When i wrote my dissertation (1M years ago), I not only had to go through my review panel, but MONTHS before I defended before the panel, I had MULTIPLE meetings with my source checkers - a group of fellow grad students who served to cite check other candidate's dissertations for just these kinds of errors. There was also a similar arrangement at the school where I taught. The idea was to catch any inadvertent failures to cite or appropriately quote. The system is not foolproof, and it isn't nearly as robust as search engine's make it now, but it wasn't exactly easy to screw up.
I also had many meetings with doctoral candidates to discuss the exacting standards of plagiarism rules. Unless the humanities faculty at her degree granting institution were just lazy as heck, it is impossible for her not to have been aware of exactly what constituted plagiarism, and the consequences (i.e. career death in academia).
Like it or not, there has been a paternalistic thought that certain scholars who belong to privileged classes get by with things that others would never be allowed to get away with. I experienced this on a doctoral review panel when several of the panelists had comments about the quality of research for a candidate of color. We provided initial feedback and were then called individually by the dean, who told us that we needed to "give it another read, with some grace" and that our institution needed to be seen to grant degrees to a certain number of "the right kind" of candidates. It was galling and we categorically refused. None of the folks that refused are in academia today.
I hate to read your last sentence that you and the others lost careers by not just "passing" students.OsoCoreyell said:
