        Politics aside. It’s sad they didn’t catch all this in her background. It says a lot about Harvard and their standards. She should have been fired for Jew hating but I get that’s more potlucks. She should have never been hired because she doesn’t meet the academic standard. How was this not caught? When I defended my dissertation, they spent weeks going over it before I could defend it. I had a few cites that were not up to standard and I had to correct before defense. I get mistakes but someone should have caught it before embarrassing the school.

    So was the problem the plagiarism or people saying “from the river to the sea”? If it has been just one of those things do you suppose she would have been all right but the two together was too much?

    Bonus question: how does one express disagreement with policy enacted by the Israeli government without being perceived as anti-Semitic?

      Base your disagreement in facts, and maintain consistent standards that apply to both sides of the conflict.

    Funny she defends calls for extermination as “free speech” … Yet invite a non-leftist speaker to campus and see what happens.

    It’s funny people are downvoting this. It didn’t matter where you stand, she was a hack. She needed to go. She plagiarized most of her work. Plagiarism isn’t acceptable at that level of academics.

      This isn’t really a conservative community. It’s just a bunch of leftist squatting on the name.

      Check out the posts and comments, does they even remotely align with “Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias.”?

        Post must. Not comments.

        I’m conservative with some lefty views. I don’t think anyone here is far right.

        I’m more socially left because I’m not religious. I’m more right with how we govern and finances.
