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.”

NEW: Scores of Iowa public school districts now have affirmative action plans that encourage race-based hiring and other diversity initiatives, potentially imperiling their federal funding under new guidance issued by the Trump administration.🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
The plans, which are required by state law, include hiring goals for minority teachers, courses on "equity in mathematics," and bonuses for teachers who specialize in "culturally responsive leadership."
Some set percentage targets for "BIPOC representation" or explicitly say that race is "considered when making employment decisions." Image

NEW: After Trump’s inauguration, the University of Michigan School of Nursing axed all its DEI programs.

Or so it appeared—until we dug deeper.

Turns out the school just renamed its DEI office the office of “community culture.” And all its DEI programs are still in effect.🧵 Image
Image
Amid Trump’s blitzkrieg of executive orders, a "diversity" tab with links to DEI resources was removed from the school’s homepage. And pages with "DEI" in the title were renamed and purged of the offending adjective, according to web archives we reviewed. Image
Image
The main page for the school’s diversity office was taken down entirely, replaced with a new page for "Community Culture” that declares that "culture is at the heart of everything we do." None of the revised pages use the terms "diversity" or "DEI." Image

SCOOP: The University of Illinois was sued today over a slew of race-based hiring programs that discriminate against white scholars.

The lawsuit shows how faculty hiring—and the paper trail it generates—could be an easy way for the Trump administration to go after DEI.🧵 Image
The plaintiff, Stephen Kleinschmit, a former professor of public administration and data science at the University of Illinois Chicago, alleges that he was fired for raising concerns about the programs.
The initiatives include "racial equity" plans that call on departments to "hire three [people of color]" and a separate program run by UIC’s diversity office that funds the recruitment of "underrepresented" scholars.

SCOOP: The Department of Education today canceled $15 million in federal grants that were used to fund diversity programs at three universities, the latest move in the Trump administration's efforts to defund DEI.

The grants were spent on DEI trainings and an “equity” center.🧵
The universities—California State University, Los Angeles; Virginia Commonwealth University; and the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota—had received a series of grants for their education schools under the Biden administration.
Ostensibly meant for teacher training and development, the grants were in fact used to support courses and workshops on DEI concepts, including "white privilege," "systemic racism," and "linguistic supremacy.”

SCOOP: Brown University Medical School now gives "diversity, equity, and inclusion" more weight than "excellent clinical skills" in its promotion criteria for faculty."

The criteria say DEI is a "major criterion." Clinical skills, by contrast, are only a "minor criterion."🧵 Image
Doctors who reviewed the criteria were alarmed, saying they reflect an unusually frank admission that merit is taking a back seat to DEI.

"This is as stark as it gets," said Bob Cirincione, an orthopedic surgeon in Hagerstown, Maryland.
The criteria "say what DEI in medical schools is all about. And it’s not about clinical performance."

NEW: Many states and cities now have bias reporting systems for citizens to report each other for "hate speech."

Oregon's hotline solicits reports of "offensive jokes" and even logged the Israeli flag as a bias incident when I reported a display of one.

Wokeness is not dead.🧵
In the name of collecting "data" on so-called "bias incidents," at least a dozen Democratic jurisdictions, including eight states, have set up hotlines and portals that let people report their fellow citizens for protected speech. freebeacon.com/policy/inside-…
The systems resemble the bias response teams commonplace on college campuses, which allow students to report each other, anonymously and without verification, for ideological faux pas. What sets the state-run systems apart are their ties to law enforcement.
