Former Harvard University President Claudine Gay argued that: new york times In an op-ed on Wednesday, she said she was the victim of a “trap” by “instigators” and was “called the N-word more times than I can count.”
Gay resigned after researchers uncovered dozens of instances in which he lifted the words of other scholars in his own books without attributing the sources.
Gay also cited failures to address anti-Semitism on campus, including refusing to say during a controversial Congressional hearing that calling for the genocide of Jews violates Harvard's code of conduct. As such, they were subject to intense surveillance.
But in her editorial, gay I have written She was the victim of an organized ideological movement, but she never specified what she would do.
she I have written:
As we depart, we must offer a few words of warning. The campaign against me involved multiple universities and her one leader. This was just one skirmish in a broader war that was shaking the public's faith in the pillars of American society. These types of campaigns often begin with attacks on education or expertise. Education and expertise are the best tools for communities to see through propaganda. But such campaigns don't end there. Trustworthy institutions of all kinds, from public health agencies to news organizations, will continue to fall victim to systematic attempts to undermine their legitimacy and discredit their leaders. For opportunists who stir up cynicism about our institutions, the enthusiasm of a single victory or overthrown leader is endless.
Yes, I made a mistake. My initial reaction to the atrocities of October 7th should have been more forceful in stating what every person of conscience knows: Hamas is a terrorist organization seeking to eradicate the Jewish state. Then, during a Congressional hearing last month, I fell into a cleverly laid trap. I failed to make it clear that calls for the genocide of Jews are abhorrent and unacceptable, and that I would use every means necessary to protect students from such hatred.
Lately, the focus of attacks has been on my academics. My critics found instances in my academic writing where I reproduced the words of other scholars without proper attribution. I believe that all scholars deserve full and appropriate credit for their work. When I learned of these errors, I demanded immediate corrections from the journals in which the flagged papers were published, just as I have seen similar faculty cases handled at Harvard University. did.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who asked about gays in Congress, rejected the idea that the former Harvard University president was “trapped.”
This was not a “cleverly set trap” (to quote Shamefully, @Harvard University Former President Claudine Gay).
Let me remind you of a simple moral question I asked former American presidents. @Harvard University @pen and become (former) president @MIT.
Q: When making a phone call…
