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: In a mandatory anti-racism class, Penn State told 1L law students they must "acknowledge the reality of systemic racism" and "dismantle systems that racialize, subordinate, and oppress."

One student withdrew from the law school over the class. We obtained shocking audio.🧵
David Blackman, a former 911 call operator and a veteran of the Texas State Guard, was thrilled to be going to law school at Penn State.

Then he sat through the first session of "Race and the Equal Protection of the Laws," a required first year course. Image
Blackman listened as a transgender faculty member, Emily Spottswood, explained why the course was mandatory.

"It’s not optional," Spottswood said, because "being a lawyer is about recognizing and combating injustice."

NEW: A disabled woman is suing homeless services in Portland, Oregon, after she was denied rent relief due to her low score on the city's race-based prioritization rubric, which awards more points for requesting "culturally specific services" than for having a disability.🧵 Image
Michele Mei, a white woman with cerebrovascular disease, filed the lawsuit after she was told that she did not meet the cutoff for housing assistance, Fox 12 Oregon reported last month. Image
Portland (Multnomah County) uses a points-based rubric to prioritize applicants for housing assistance. Under the rubric, obtained exclusively by the Free Beacon, having a disability only counts for 1 point, whereas "interest in culturally specific services" counts for 2. Image

NEW: In an internal document distributed last month, Pennsylvania's flagship law school promised to devote the entire school to "antiracism," pledging to "recruit, retain, teach and research according to antiracist principles" and embrace an "antiracist critical pedagogy."🧵 Image
The document, a "Strategic Plan Update" covering the next five years, also pledges to expand "employment opportunities for candidates who are underrepresented in the University and at the Law School." Critics say that pledge is likely to expose the school to legal action. Image
"Every known definition of 'antiracism' explains that race will be a factor in decision making. This is illegal and should be challenged in court," said Ed Blum, the man behind the litigation that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.

NEW: Blue jurisdictions are rationing homeless services based on race.

In Portland, a non-white, non-native English speaker who is LGBT would get priority over a domestic violence survivor with a 6 yr old child who's been homeless for 12+ months.

The policies are shocking.🧵 Image
Let's start with Multnomah County, OR, home of deep blue Portland, where deaths of homeless people quadrupled between 2019 and 2023. The county's screening tool for housing services is designed to "prioritize … BIPOC households, LGBTQIA2S+, [and] people with disabilities." Image
The rubric, obtained via a public records request, wards 1 point for "interest in LGBTQ services," 2 points for "English as a second language," and another 2 points for "interest in culturally specific services," a catch-all term for Portland's race-based housing programs. Image

NEW: Stanford is awarding five times as much money to a campus drag troupe as to an undergraduate veterans association. And it's awarding more money to the Muslim Student Union—$175,000—than every Christian student group combined.

We obtained the school's activities budget.🧵 Image
Image
Image
The awards include a $50,000 grant to the Stanford Drag Troupe, which last year sponsored a performance by two drag queens, "Slut the Rock Johnson" and "ZZ Chic," as part of a "sex trivia" event titled, "Are You Smarter Than A Sexpert?" Image
That grant dwarfs the $10,000 earmarked for the Stanford Undergraduate Association of Veterans, the $14,472 earmarked for Stanford’s sole ballet group, the $27,104 earmarked for the Stanford Light Opera Company, and the $27,154 earmarked for the Stanford Symphony Orchestra.

NEW: The Marylander Condominium needed millions in repairs after Prince George's County stood by as a nearby homeless encampment terrorized the condo.

One bank said it would lend if the county guaranteed the loan.

But the county refused—and now residents are being evicted.🧵 Image
After members of the encampment allegedly vandalized the boiler room, 100 units were left without heat and in violation of local safety codes. The damage prompted building inspectors to deem those units "unfit for human habitation" in December and order their occupants to leave.
The situation made the Marylander toxic to lenders, who feared that it was all but guaranteed to default. Starved for credit and at risk of collapse, the condo found financing from a local bank that agreed to lend on one condition: The county would have to guarantee the loan.
