Harvard won’t condemn Claudine Gay because she’s a ‘high pedigree’ minority, professor says

One of the academics who has accused Harvard president Claudine Gay of ripping off her work claims the Ivy League school won’t condemn her because it holds “high pedigree” minorities to lower standards than others.

Carol Swain, a former political science professor at Vanderbilt University, blasted the school in a fiery Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday — nearly a week after Harvard said it was standing by Gay following an investigation into the plagiarism claims leveled against her.

Pedigree minority? I think I've heard it all now but nothing surprises me anymore.

Nobody likes the injustice on parade.

We’re up against an imbocilic army who likes being beaten about the neck and shoulders with a hickory switch, so no guarantees.

At first I thought it meant that she was some kind of legacy hire; but I think it just means that she ticked all the right boxes.

I don’t recall this terminology but corporate HR likes this concept. The terms I remember most was “high talent”. “fast track” or “long runway” meaning they fit the EEO profile that HR likes (now DEI) and were young enough they could be bounced around in a string of positions to enhance their resume whilst always being promoted before they could be held to account for their incompetence. Onward and upward! Thinking about it, this probably originated in academia and was co-opted by big business since they all eat from the same trough.

Why wouldn’t elitist white liberals register their specially bred black pets in kennel clubs?

Dogs have pedigrees. Minorities have intersectionality.

Ms. Gay is in no way “high pedigree”!

Her “scholarship” is loaded with plagiarisms, and is utterly worthless, like much “scholarship” in her bogus field!

Harvard should pull Gay’s PhD for plagiarism, and should unceremoniously fire her!

What may really happen is that she will be kicked upstairs to some position at a foundation. For Harvard’s sake, I hope that it happens soon.

By the way, I have a hard-won PhD in science from Harvard, based on experiments, not blather. So I know what I’m talking about. And I have a right to be incensed at Gay and all who made her dean and president!
