BREAKING: The NYT confirms it was the plagiarism, not the hearing, that ultimately did Gay in.

The board was with her until Dec. 19, when Harvard received a complaint—first reported by the Free Beacon—outlining over 40 examples of plagiarism.

She agreed to resign on Dec. 27, before the Jan. 1 complaint that detailed six additional allegations.

What changed? It wasn’t just that Harvard got more evidence of plagiarism. It was also that the scions on the Harvard board returned to the Real World™️—Aspen, Miami, probably Palm Beach—over the holidays, only to learn that their fellow elites had lost faith in Gay. Image
The NYT report confirms @MarcNovicoff’s main thesis in the Washington Monthly: “what led to the demise of the first Black president of Harvard was that she had become an embarrassment among people whom the Harvard Corporation respects.”

THREAD: Certain people on this website keep claiming that the anti-woke movement—and in particular anti-woke Jews—have abandoned their commitment to free speech and are now demanding DEI-style censorship of views they find offensive.

The truth is almost the opposite.🧵
Today the editors of Tablet Magazine—a Jewish, Zionist, and vociferously anti-woke publication—put out an editorial lambasting efforts to police speech in the name of protecting Jews.

The editorial is literally titled, "Not In Our Name."

tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Tablet's editors attack a bipartisan bill that would allow the Department of Education to impose “third-party antisemitism monitors" on any federally-funded university.

"This is lunacy," they write. "No one should support it."

Doesn't sound very pro-censorship to me.

NEW: The student editors of the Columbia Law Review have issued a statement urging the law school to cancel exams in the wake of the police operation that cleared the university's encampment, saying the "violence" has left them "irrevocably shaken" and "unable to focus."🧵 Image
Signed by 5 other law journals, including "A Jailhouse Lawyer’s Manual," the statement accused police of "brutalizing" students—though no major injuries have been reported—and claimed canceling exams was a "proportionate response" to the "distress our peers have been feeling." Image
"The current exam policy raises concerns around equity and academic integrity," the statement said. "Many are unwell at this time and cannot study or concentrate while their peers are being hauled to jail." Image

NEW: One of the most outspoken supporters of the Columbia encampment, classics professor Joseph Howley, is leading a review of the required humanities curriculum for all undergraduates.

Every student at Columbia will have to read the texts he assigns.🧵
Howley has emerged as one of the encampment’s most forceful champions, giving interviews from inside its perimeter and dismissing the idea that the unsanctioned protest—which has included calls to murder Jewish students and threats that "Columbia will burn"—poses a safety risk.
He will bring that considered judgement to Columbia’s famous "Literature Humanities" course, which Howley has chaired since 2022. Howley was scheduled to review the syllabus for that course, a survey of what the school deems important humanities texts, this term.

EXCLUSIVE: UCLA medical school is launching a probe of its mandatory "health equity" class—and warning whistleblowers they could be punished if there are any more leaks.

It's also promised to address concerns that the course is antisemitic with—you guessed it—more DEI.🧵
The dean of the medical school, Steven Dubinett, announced today that his office had formed a task force to review all first-year courses, including "Structural Racism and Health Equity," after the Washington Free Beacon published materials from the mandatory class. Image
But the school isn’t happy about having its hand forced.

In an email to students and faculty, Dubinett implied that the leaks were an "attempt to intimidate" the medical school and hinted that future leakers could face discipline—especially if they record lectures. Image

NEW: Organizers of the Columbia encampment advised activists at Princeton on how to take over their own campus, giving them tips on disrupting university operations and stressing that there is "safety in numbers."

We've obtained documents showing extensive coordination.🧵 Image
The tips were dispensed last week during a meeting between Aditi Rao, a Ph.D student at Princeton, and members of Columbia's encampment. Rao relayed the advice to her fellow Princeton activists in a strategy session last Saturday, notes from which were obtained by the Beacon.
The Columbia organizers had spent weeks hashing out a plan to kneecap the university's core functions and put administrators in an impossible position. If activists at Princeton wanted to pull off a similar coup, there were some things they should know.

NEW: UCLA medical school's mandatory health equity class teaches students that weight loss is a "hopeless endeavor" and that "ob*sity" is a slur "used to exact violence on fat people."

The full syllabus has shocked prominent doctors—the former dean of Harvard Medical School.🧵
All first year students are assigned an essay by Marquisele Mercedes, a self-described "fat liberationist," who "describes how weight came to be pathologized and medicalized in racialized terms" and offers guidance on "resisting entrenched fat oppression," per the syllabus.
Mercedes claims that "ob*sity" is a slur "used to exact violence on fat people"—particularly "Black, disabled, trans, poor fat people"—and offers a "fat ode to care" that students are instructed to analyze, taking note of which sections "most resonate with you."
