And I'm with him on this. He clinches the argument here:

The Harvard Corporation professed support for Gay’s presidency on 12 December, brushing aside the early plagiarism accusations as mere “instances of inadequate citation” that represented “no violation of Harvard’s standards for research misconduct.”... Not until the Washington Free Beacon uncovered much more serious evidence of plagiarism after 11 December did Gay’s position become untenable. It’s absolutely true that the antisemitism fracas prompted closer scrutiny of Gay’s work, but it’s equally true that she would’ve survived if she were a minimally competent scholar. Even had 5 December never happened, I find it very hard to believe that Gay could’ve remained in office following the Free Beacon revelations.

ETA:

To me, it's similar to Capone getting convicted on tax evasion rather than violating Prohibition. I think the allegations that these universities promote anti-semitism is standard zionist propaganda and has no validity. Unfortunately, it succeeded, indirectly in Gay's case. I know one of the other university presidents stepped down but don't know why, I'm guessing because dissenting from approved narrative has become so hazardous to people's livelihoods and well-being, what with the fascist Arbiters of Accepted Truth so well-funded.
