honestly, she should have just owned it and plagiarized her resignation letter

 

I would argue her sin is plagiarism, not her stance on war in the Middle East.

 

yes, interesting that Harvard was ok with her antisemitism, so long as she did not copy/paste directly from Mein Kampf.

 

She lost her job (and deserved to lose her job) because of her rampant plagiarism.

She probably could have even survived plagiarism had she not done so much of it.

I don't care one way or the other about her politics - someone that does that, does not deserve to be leading Harvard.

 

It's fascinating to see how the House uses it power to attack political enemies. In this case, why is the US Congress investigating plagiarism claims at a private university? Whether people think failing to include citations in academic work is plagiarism, why is the US Congress involved?

To me, the overreach of congress in what should be an academic matter is disturbing. House should be focused on actual problems, not this culture wars b.s.

 

Something Donald Trump is all to happy to do and be supported for.

 

I think this is what ultimately got her - not her political stance, like you mentioned...once the students started having issues at the hypocrisy plus already the controversy on her commentary - it was over

regardless, I think the tension after her anti-Semitic stance put a microscope on her background- hopefully this is going to be a temporary dark passing at universities condoning antisemitism- 2 out of 3 University Presidents gone is a start...

Penn ✅
Harvard ✅
MIT next

 

it's not culture wars, ...as much as I'm all about damaging your woke compatriots, it comes down to safeguarding a protected religious group of students that had threatening actions and verbal attacks against them including hostile environments that were inescapable to those simply trying to study at a university...
This is an actual problem ! so yes thank you House for protecting citizen rights

You're rationalizing Mccarthyism.

 

The university of Hamas doesn’t have affirmative action

 

he should definitely resign from the presidency of Trump University.
