It would seem that human nature is the same all over despite ethnicity or culture. Here is an alarming tale for our times, yet I'm told the new Shangri La is upon us once all the white elite are dealt with. Harvard is known as one of the top universities yet it seems to be doing its best to undermine that and pander to race hustlers. So much so that it has appointed Claudine Gay to be the next Harvard President.
Yesterday I got two emails from Harvard University, as I presume all other Harvard alumni also did. There’s big news: the Presidential Search Committee has announced who will become the next President of the University. It’s Claudine Gay, currently Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the largest constituent piece of the institution. She will become President on July 1, 2023, when current President Larry Bacow steps down (after only five years).
Have I heard of this person before? More on that in a bit.
But first some of the gushing praise from the official University publicity:
Claudine is a remarkable leader who is profoundly devoted to sustaining and enhancing Harvard’s academic excellence, to championing both the value and the values of higher education and research, to expanding opportunity, and to strengthening Harvard as a fount of ideas and a force for good in the world. . . . As her many admirers know, Claudine consults widely; she listens attentively; she thinks rigorously and imaginatively; she invites collaboration and resists complacency; and she acts with conviction and purpose. . . . Claudine’s own scholarship and teaching have focused on aspects of democracy—political participation, voting behavior, public opinion, and the interplay of race, ethnicity, and politics in America.
And that’s barely a tenth of it. I’m sorry I can’t give you a link to the whole thing; but then, I certainly would not recommend wasting your time reading it.
But where have I come across this name before? Somehow I remembered seeing it on Instapundit, and with a quick search there I find this brief post from April 17, 2022. The link goes to a Substack article by a guy named Chris Brunet, formerly of the Daily Caller, who has gone out on his own at Substack under the name Karlstack. Brunet apparently makes a specialty of exposing corruption in academia, and he is all over the case of Ms. Gay. His April 17, 2022 post has the title “The Curious Case of Claudine Gay.”
Marsden was a subordinate of Gay) to the whistleblower. This is the letter that informed the whistleblower of the dismissal of the complaint. The letter states that the SCPC declines to investigate the allegations of Enos’s misconduct on the grounds that they “do not fall within the purview of the Standing Committee on Professional Conduct.” The second item presented by Brunet is a screenshot of the write-up from the Harvard FAS website describing the function of the SCPC as including “handl[ing] allegations of research misconduct involving FAS investigators.”
Finally, Brunet points out that, upon dismissing the whistleblower complaint, the SCPC did not refer the complaint to any other body that may have had appropriate “purview.” The matter was simply dropped. Brunet concludes (in the October 21 post):
The smoking gun has been leaked. Claudine Gay & Ryan Enos are toast.
I guess he didn’t get that one right. As we now know, less than two months later, Claudine Gay has just been named the next President of Harvard. As far as I can determine, Enos continues in his cushy job as tenured professor, without a blemish on his record.
Let us next consider the case of Harvard Professor Roland Fryer. In 2007 Fryer at age 30 became the youngest African American (and second youngest person) to ever get tenure at Harvard. He was a young superstar, and quickly came to run a large research operation. Brown University economics professor Glenn Loury describes Fryer this.way in a March 2022 Substack post:
Roland Fryer is the most gifted economist of his generation. Not the most gifted black economist of his generation, the most gifted economist of his generation. Period. He was tenured at Harvard at the age of 30, he was awarded the American Economics Association’s John Bates Clark Medal, he received a MacArthur “Genius” grant, his publications appeared in some of the most distinguished journals in the field, and his scholarship was regularly covered in the mainstream media.
Harvard’s ODR dismissed all but six of the allegations against Fryer as either not being credible that they actually occurred, or not offensive. As punishment for the six allegations found credible, ODR recommended that Fryer be required to attend mandatory sensitivity training.
But then ODR’s recommendation went before a committee of Harvard’s highest-ranking administrators for review. Until earlier this year, none of the names of the members of that committee had been made public. But the result of that review was that the punishment for Fryer was changed rather drastically. Instead of some sensitivity training, here’s what he got: two years’ full suspension without pay; his research lab closed; and all his research projects stopped.
In March 2022 film-maker Rob Montz released a documentary about the Fryer affair at Harvard with the title “Harvard Canceled Its Best Black Professor. Why?” Montz’s documentary, which is only 25 minutes long, was posted at Bari Weiss’s Substack and can be viewed here. Most important for current purposes is that Montz was able to identify two members of the committee that changed Fryer’s punishment from some sensitivity training to effective execution. One of them was Claudine Gay.
Fryer was immediately investigated and aggressively sanctioned, while Enos is still not being investigated four years after credible allegations of falsification and fabrication were made known to Harvard officials, with plenty of evidence, including code to verify them.
The picture emerges of Gay as the enforcer-in-chief of wokist orthodoxy at Harvard. I guess that’s the main qualification for the presidency today.
Oh, and did I mention Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein? They have their own Harvard-related scandals, and Claudine Gay is in the middle of both of them as well. Brunet treats both in this April 2022 post. Epstein, you may recall, was a large donor to Harvard, and in return got himself an office and a telephone at the university. That occurred on the watch of Gay’s predecessor as Dean of FAS, one Michael Smith. Gay’s role was to whitewash the whole thing. Brunet comments:
Claudine Gay allowed Michael Smith to get away scot-free in the Harvard-Epstein ties investigation — she came in and nicely whitewashed it all away. Claudine Gay has Epstein coverup stink on her, and Michael Smith has major Epstein stink on him.
In the Weinstein matter, a Harvard Law professor named Ronald Sullivan for some time served on Weinstein’s defense team. That is, until students complained, and Gay weighed in. (Note that Sullivan, a law professor, was not under Gay’s purview as Dean of FAS.). The Harvard Crimson headline in February 2019 was “FAS Dean Claudine Gay Calls Sullivan’s Response To Student Concerns ‘Insufficient.’”
By the way, Sullivan has also represented Fryer in his ordeal with Harvard. And he is also black. At Claudine Gay’s Harvard, there are the right kind of blacks, and the wrong kind. The wrong kind will be taught to know their place.
The head of the search committee that has made this disastrous decision is one Penny Pritzker. You may recognize her as Obama’s Commerce Secretary, Finance Chair of Obama’s campaigns, and sister of the current Illinois governor. Oh, and also as someone who made a big piece of her fortune selling your confidential personal data without your permission (i.e., TransUnion Credit Bureau)
