Respectfully disagree. Everyone at Harvard knew she wasn't a serious scholar and that she was a diversity hire, and they overlooked the fact that she wasn't a serious scholar because it was more valuable to them to have a black gay trans whatever person as head of Harvard, than to have a serious scholar.

Not until the Washington Free Beacon uncovered much more serious evidence of plagiarism after 11 December did Gay’s position become untenable.

These facts didn't reveal themselves. Someone with money and access paid a staff of researchers to not only comb through her corpus of work (all 12 papers or whatever), but to analyze those paragraph by paragraph by running them through searches to see what they could turn up. No one at Harvard was doing that, and without the Zionist lobby flying monkey attack, these would likely never have turned up.

This reminds me of Eliot Spitzer taking a fall because he paid expensive call girls. He just happened to be going after Wall St. banksters when that happened. And everyone took it as a warning that you don't go after Wall St. banksters because they're connected, they have resources, and they'll find a way to take you out even if they have to make shit up. In Gay's case it seems they didn't have to fabricate anything, but everyone in that circle understands that they would have if they hadn't found genuine plagiarism in her work. So no, it wasn't the plagiarism that took her down, anymore than it was paying hookers that took down Eliot Spitzer; they were both taken out by powerful interests that wanted to make an example of them.
