ANALYSIS: Penn’s ousted president ideas remain vague
This spring semester, Harvard University’s previous president, who resigned following several theft allegations, will be teaching a graduate-level” Reading and Research” program.
After resigning as president in response to ongoing plagiarism complaints and criticism of her response to campus hatred, Professor Claudine Gay returned to training and her apparently nearly$ 900,000 monthly income.
Her departure followed that of University of Pennsylvania’s President Liz Magill, who resigned soon after a December 2023 Congressional reading on hatred. Magill, Gay, and MIT’s Sally Kornbluth were all criticized for their indifferent responses to hatred problems.
In the flower, Gay taught the same course. It is an independent investigation course designed for graduate students.
In the last week and a half, Harvard’s media relations group has not responded to two email requests for comment. The College Fix asked Harvard’s media team for validation on Gay’s training plan, what she plans to do the remainder of 2024, and what she has been doing since resigning.
The Fix even inquired about Gay’s plans to address racism and plagiarism allegations in her present course.
Magill, though reported to be returning to training, does not appear in a training search for flower 2024 or summer 2024.
Penn’s Carey Law college does not record fall 2024 groups in its own course tracker. What is the professor’s salary that has n’t been disclosed. However, she was making$ 22 million as president, according to the university’s 2023 tax filing.
The Fix left a phone on Wednesday with contacts chairman Ron Ozio asking for comment on Magill’s position after sending it to the media group half in the previous year and a half.
The Fix even emailed the legislation school on Thursday night, but no messages have been received. Unlike Gay, Magill is not under investigation for complaints of theft.
The head of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni said the” conditions” around both leaders and teaching “are very unique”.
It was only Claudine Gay who will always remain under a cloud of intellectual misconduct, according to President Michael Poliakoff,” though both of them disgraced themselves and higher learning in their witness to Congress.”
According to Poliakoff, plagiarism is such a flagrant offense that the punishment for it is constantly lengthy suspension or expulsion for students and cancellation for faculty because it is committed by students or faculty.
Given her lack of academic accomplishments, he questioned why Gay also managed to become president of Harvard.
The issue of why she was always elevated to such a degree at Harvard is raised by Claudia Gay’s scientific output, according to Poliakoff. It seems wholly inappropriate for her to hold a tenure at Harvard, and it offends other members of the university. The Harvard Corporation is still blaming itself.
Based on her intellectual function, Magill should be given a chance to transfer to the school.
” In the case of Liz Magill, she should be evaluated honestly according to her history of educating and fellowship, and given good performance, should be integrated into the scientific community as any other professor had been treated”, Poliakoff said.
He said the two Ivy League universities had program right and get on hatred and the problems of variety, capital, and inclusion.
Penn and Harvard must now face their hypocrisy by claiming to be sanctuaries of inclusive and equitable virtue while winking at campus anti-semitism. “, he said. The failures of October 8 [the day Hamas attacked Israel ] and December 5 [the day of the congressional hearing ] will not be covered up by the same tired virtue signaling of DEI generalities.
” Nor can these schools hide the breakdown of intellectual diversity on their faculties and in their administrations that has created echo chambers in which the phony arguments of “intersectionality” and “obsessed- oppressed” and unethical’cluster hires” go unchallenged,” he said. ” Bold new approaches to campus programming and faculty recruitment are in order.”
DEI initiatives and other virtue signaling, Poliakoff suggests, will not work anymore.
” To bring this to life, it will require brave and visionary governing boards, alumni, and donors.”
