Grifter, incompetant and disgraced Harvard president Claudine Gay defiantly, shamelessly, un-originally, narcissisticlly,  resigned only the presidency of Harvard Tuesday amid a flurry of scandal involving her clear and blatant plagiarism and her refusal to condemn calls for Jewish genocide on campus. She resigned but she’s not sorry. She was never up to the job  and was promoted only because of her race and gender. She further damaged her own reputation and credentials with her self-serving. Gay  continues to avoid blame and blames others for her plagarism and anti-Semitism. At an annual salary of $900,000.00 she will remain as a member of the Harvard faculty focused on “scholarship and teaching” although it is unclear why any reasonable, responsible person let alone a Harvard student would want to even listen to a proven liar.

“The text of Gay’s official resignation letter, delivered via email to “members of the Harvard community,” has already been published in numerous media outlets. The letter released to the public, however, is significantly different compared with the letter of resignation she hand delivered to the Harvard board.

Gay’s private resignation letter was exclusively and semi-legally obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. It is published below for your information and is not supported even in small part by this website. Frui!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Eight score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we (metaphorically) stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Black and LGBTQIA2S+ slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But 160 years later, I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races. The only time we chill is when we kill each other. It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other. One hundred and sixty years later, the Person of Color is still languished in the corners of American society and finds herself in exile in her own land. And so I have written you today to dramatize a shameful condition.

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President, I must put the interest of Harvard first. Harvard needs a full-time President and a full-time Corporation, particularly at this moment of extraordinary challenge and frightening personal attacks fueled by racial animus.

To continue to fight—on the beaches, on the landing grounds, in the fields and in the streets, whatever the cost may be—for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Corporation in a period when our entire focus should be on upholding scholarly rigor and confronting hate in all its forms.

Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at 1:00 p.m. today.

When I came to power in 2023 my road was clearly mapped out. It had been defined in a struggle, which had put me under an obligation to the Harvard people. The social part of this program meant unifying the Harvard people, overcoming all class and race prejudices, and if necessary, breaking any opposition to this unity. Economically, it meant building a National Harvard economy which appreciated the importance of private initiative, but subordinated the entire economic life to the common interest.

It was the same in foreign politics. My program was to do away with Versailles. People all over the world should not pretend to be simpletons and act as if I had only discovered this program in 1933, or 1935, or 1937. These gentlemen should only have read what I wrote about myself a thousand times instead of listening to stupid emigre trash. No human being can have stated and written down as often as I what she wanted, and I wrote it again and again: “Away with Versailles!”

As we welcome a new year and a new semester, I hope we can all look forward to brighter days. Sad as I am to be sending this message, my hopes for Harvard remain undimmed. I’m not talking about blind optimism here. I’m talking about something more substantial. It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs. The hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores. The hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta. The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for her too.

When my brief presidency is remembered, I hope it will be seen as a moment of reawakening to the importance of striving to find our common humanity—and of not allowing rancor and vituperation to undermine the vital process of education. I promise to never give you up, to never let you down, to never run around and desert you. To never make you cry, never say goodbye, or tell a lie and hurt you. After my picture fades, and darkness has turned to gray, watching through windows, you’re wondering if I’m okay. If you’re lost you can look and you will find me, time after time.

Sincerely,

Claudine Gay

(She/her)

********************************

There is a blindness and a delusion within Gay. rather than take the high road, admit her many, many mistakes, apologize, promise to change, to do better Gay hits the mud and blames white people. This is outrageous!

Ever th racist bigot, Gay writes she has been ‘subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus’.

As if Gay hadn’t been protected so long by Harvard Corp precisely because of her race. As if other black scholars, Carol M. Swain and John McWhorter among them, hadn’t said that Gay needed to go.

To turn around and imply that racism is the animating force behind her resignation is beyond cynical. It’s narcissistic, self-serving and damaging.

There is not one iota of responsibility taken in this letter. Not one shred of remorse or sorrow for what she has put the institution through, for the board members who defended her, or for the $1 billion in endowments she lost during her short, disgraceful tenure.

Not one reference to the instances of plagiarism nor a heartfelt mea culpa to the scholars whose work she stole.

Not a single apology to Harvard’s Jewish students and faculty, who should never have had to abide a president telling Congress that on-campus calls for the genocide of Jews depended on ‘context’. Claudine Gay’s resignation letter was put through some free online plagiarism checkers, and it failed. They say it’s between 52% and 99.7% plagiarized.

Oh no — there’s only one victim here, and it’s going to be America’s most insufferable sticky-fingered scholar.

Students and faculty of Harvard: Lest you worry, you have not seen the last of Claudine Gay! She may be resigning as president, but this lesser light has decided to stay on and teach.

Harvard, it seems, has learned nothing…. Gay can change. Gay should change. Perhaps she will not change and if so she has learned nothing.
