It's really a pretty simple rule for how to cite your sources, one any Ph.D. candidate is more than qualified to understand: how to use quote marks. Omitting them is stealing the words and passing them off as your own. She and all other persons of this stature know this full well, and so stating that she isn't to blame, for whatever reason they pull out of their hat, means that Harvard now must change its plagiarism rules for ALL students, now must pardon students who have been sanctioned (expelled?) for similar actions, and now must, going forward, lower its standards for academic honesty (which now allow for copycatting.) So..... now Harvard, the gold standard of academia, is looking not so best-in-class. Forever their reputation will bear this mark. All to protect their woke figurehead from her just deserts. What a price!

When one of my students plagiarizes, I tell the class that if in the future they get into Harvard and are caught plagiarizing, they'd be expelled.

Oops... Gay just killed my warning to my students.

Instead, I'll just tell them not to apply to overrated Harvard which has thoroughly disgraced itself by running cover for its dishonest, morally bankrupt, DIE president, and turning a blind eye on antisemitism on their campus.

We learned how to cite our sources in Freshman year high school English class. There is no excuse for Gay's ignorance and dishonesty.

I'm so old I learned how to properly write a report or paper with quotations etc. in junior high school.

Is it a war crime if you shoot (seemingly) shirtless Palestinian men waving a white flag, if they turn out to be Israeli hostages?

Is the AIPAC/ ADL/ ACKMAN lobby going after her because she didn't denounce " from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"?

A reasonable person wouldn't consider that to be calling for a Jewish genocide, IMHO.

No, it's all jist theater to keep everyone at each others throats and attention off of the greater plan.

No, you were right. Lying is ok in all of these areas now because the world is being run by God-less, child molesting, homosexual, adrenochrome drinking, immoral lying deviants.
