We don't know what else she's been dealing with, hundreds of hateful calls, not all are threatening enough for police, half are MAGA -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 11:06 1
- Consider, 5 of 7 council members of Seattle left most due to harassment, round country half voter regs have quit -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 11:09
They got their way because they accidentally targeted a plagiarist. In academia, when you need to update your dissertation, you're screwed. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:48 11
- Unless there was new stuff, the "plagiarism" was absurd as an accusation. It's boilerplate language. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 10:58 1
  - There's more new stuff. That's why it went from "she's staying" to "We will graciously accept the resignation you're about to write." - David Jan 2, 11:04
- yep. when more came out after the original set, that was that. she became more of a target because of mishandling of what was happening on campus and - i.b.! Jan 2, 10:54 1
  - Right, it's appalling that the shortest tenured leader at Harvard is the only black woman. That's the part that sticks in my craw. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:56
- Nobody would care* about the plagiarism if she wasn’t already being hounded for the other thing. -- (edited) - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 2, 10:53 6
  - there have been a number of university presidents from lower-profile schools who’ve resigned when caught having done it. - i.b.! Jan 2, 10:58 2
    - And it doesn’t become a national exercise in pearl-clutching when it happens, which proves my point. -- (edited) - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 2, 11:02
    - it's a concerted campaign (that they've publicly admitted to) by a small group of billionaire shitheels to run these women out of office - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 11:00
  - That's the point. They stumbled into picking the right person. - David Jan 2, 10:55 2
    - "they" also forced out the female president of Penn last month. there is no perfect university president for a hedge fund billionaire asshole -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 10:57 1
      - Yes. Petty tyrants are trying to stretch their powers over free thinkers in academia. -- nm - David Jan 2, 11:05
