Thank you.

Maybe I'm either stupid or ignorant, but I'm having trouble figuring out why he has leverage over the Corporation.

I guess I just don't understand his [perceived] importance.

It might not be traditional leverage (e.g. J Edgar Hoover type files), but might simply be loyalty within the Harvard Corporation:

Penny Pritzker was former Obama administration Commerce Secretary . She was also a member of President Barack Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness and his Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

Tino Cueller co-chaired the Immigration Policy Working Group for the Obama-Biden transition in 2008‒09

Karen Gordon Mills served in Obama’s Cabinet from April 2009 through August 2013 as the administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration.

I found all of the above on Harvard's own website about Harvard Corporation members.

Additionally, King Putts still holds enormous sway over the Biden administration and can likely unleash the federal bureacracy on anybody who crosses him.

Claudine Gay keeps her salary

She won’t be leading the Crimson, but green shouldn’t be a problem.

Outgoing Harvard President Claudine Gay will still likely earn nearly $900,000 a year despite being forced to resign her position as the school’s top administrator.

Political Science professor Gay — who stepped down amid a tempest of allegations she did not do enough to combat antisemitism and academic plagiarism Tuesday — will now return to a position on the Cambridge, Mass., school’s faculty.

Prior to being named president just six months ago, Gay earned $879,079 as a Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean in 2021 and $824,068 in 2020, according to records published by the university.

Her new position was not specified Tuesday, but she is expected to receive a salary comparable with what she previously received — if not higher.

It was also unclear how much of her presidential salary of roughly $1 million Gay would be entitled to after only serving in the post for six months.

Her predecessor, Lawrence Bacow, pulled in $1.3 million annually before his departure, according to the Harvard Crimson.

Alan M. Garber, who currently serves as provost and chief academic officer, will serve as interim president until the school selects a new chief, officials said Tuesday.

Grifters always be grifting.

A dorm floor R.A. when I was a freshman in 1990-1991 was majoring in African-American studies or something like that and got filled with all kinds of revisionist history ideas that are just false. You name it, Africa was the most advanced civilization in the past, Eqyptians were really black, the "true" history was buried by white historians, and on and on.

When an entire "academic" discipline is based on lies, is it any surprise that its purveyors are liars and thieves?

She needs to be duct taped to a chair and made to watch the Hamas videos showing the atrocities the "poor Palestinians" committed upon the Israeli citizens, most of whom were civilians.

She is out due to her FAILURE to PROTECT others who were actual TARGETS of Threats, Violence, and Harassment.

I'm saddened, but I'm leaving for no particular reason.

I love Harvard, it's special.

You guys will continue on in your woke agenda without me.

I love Harvard, hit me up whenever.

Earlier, I said it as for no reason I was leaving, actually it was the evil Republicans. Resist.

Not one mention in there about regret for not standing up for EVERYONE regardless of race, creed, or color. It was the easiest question ever, inciting against any group is not good.

Good riddance, I don't even care that you're a plagiarist. I just can't believe you couldn't answer the easiest question ever.

Ibram X. Kendi, Other Woke Activists Rage over Claudine Gay Resigning as Harvard President: ‘Racist Mobs’

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...esident-racist-mobs/

Hardcore woke activists and Critical Race Theory (CRT) pushers, including professor Ibram X. Kendi, raged into the void of social media on Tuesday in response to the news that Claudine Gay was resigning from her position as president of Harvard University.

“Gay informed the Harvard community of her resignation in an email that says it has been ‘frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus,'”

Needless to say, woke activists saw her resignation as yet another win for “structural racism.”

“Racist mobs won’t stop until they topple all Black people from positions of power and influence who are not reinforcing the structure of racism. What these racist mobs are doing should be obvious to any reporter who cares about truth or justice as opposed to conflicts and clicks,” raged Ibram X. Kendi.

“The next president of Harvard University MUST be a Black woman,” said former Huffington Post reporter Marc Lamont Hill.

Former ESPN reporter Jemele Hill tweeted, “When white people are hired in any position, the automatic assumption is they were the best person. When Black people are hired, it’s assumed we got there because of affirmative action — which by the way doesn’t mean under-qualified. If affirmative action never existed, a lot of white people would still believe deeply in their own superiority because that is what they’ve been taught.”


"When Black people are hired, it’s assumed we got there because of affirmative action" because we see it over and over

Diversity - means the best person was not selected for the job

“Considering there have been 30 presidents at Harvard and Claudine Gay was the only Black one in history, she had to be extremely qualified to even be in that position,” she added.

yeah, right

Former ESPN reporter Jemele Hill tweeted...

“Considering there have been 30 presidents at Harvard and Claudine Gay was the only Black one in history, she had to be extremely qualified to even be in that position,” she added.

* Gay attended Phillips Exeter Academy for high school, arguably the most exclusive of boarding schools in the entire country.
* She attended first Princeton, then Stanford for her undergraduate courses, graduating with honors and awarded a prize for the best undergraduate thesis in economics
* She then attended Harvard for her doctorate where she was awarded another prize for the best dissertation in political science
* Returning to Stanford as an associate professor, she received tenure in five-years..without publishing any of her work or, texts.

Why yes Jemele, she was groomed and sculpted by the finest institutions in this country, she was quite qualified...and yet, she failed the reality test.

Of course the leftists are bending over backwards to 'excuse' her plagiarism and make her out to be the victim. Whitey men drove the poor disadvantaged black woman out of her job.

What did you expect? I consider it a major victory that she is no longer in that position.


What I want to see is the new school presidents dragged back in front of congress, and asked the same questions again, to get their answers recorded as part of the public record. It would be worth it to see them squirm. They would HAVE to swallow their pride and make them vow to protect Jewish students from threats and slander just as much as the muslim and other minority students.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Still similar to most Universities. At Harvard she might have made more than the football coach.

^^^It's OBSCENE money at ANY university!

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Really? The position is equivalent to a CEO without the stock options. How about,say, hedge fund managers. You have any idea what they make?

^^^She was basically making that money as a professor dean, and apparently she'll continue to do so! AND she's not alone either! What's the deliverable/value proposition that justifies that level of compensation?

All of these 'elite' institutions have RIDICULOUS endowments, that they never spend a dime of! If you look at the administrative costs at basically all universities, they've exploded and FAR outpaced every sector of the economy over the last 15 years...And people wonder why there's so much student debt that somehow needs to be 'forgiven'!

Wonder how many scholarships that annual salary would provide for students who academically qualify to attend the school yet are in such financial need they can't afford to attend the school.

But it's whitey holding the blacks and Latinos down. Yep.

55% of students at Harvard receive some sort of scholarship. 1 in 5 pay no tuition at all. Link

Quite candidly, there are two types of people who get into Harvard: wealthy legacies and poor kids with a good story. The middle class need not apply.

That is exactly correct. Some of the kids grew up with no indoor plumbing. Yale is the same as is Brown.
