Vous avez oublié déjà ?

Claudine Gay

Elle était la 30ᵉ présidente de l’Université Harvard et la première personne noire à diriger cette prestigieuse institution. Elle a pris ses fonctions en juillet 2023 et a démissionné le 2 janvier 2024, après seulement six mois, le mandat présidentiel le plus court de l’histoire de Harvard.

C’était le même mécanisme. Elle aussi a fini par démissionner. Elle aussi a été la cible d’un harcèlement intense. Elle aussi a vu chacune de ses prises de position scrutée, disséquée et contestée. Et elle aussi a été accusée de plagiat.

Jason Arday. Cambridge. Des similitudes.

Seulement elle ne s’est pas suicidée, et elle a reçu de Harvard une compensation après sa démission de 1.5 millions de dollars . Et elle a préféré revenir en tant que professeur.

every time you watch Zohran being a generational political talent, just remember that the entire Democratic establishment opposed his candidacy and his policy platform and did everything they could do to prevent him from becoming mayor

[Dr. Émile P. Torres (they/them) @xriskology]

Are you referring to Marc Hauser, former Harvard prof, who was found guilty of 8 counts of scientific misconduct? Yet, the New York Times sympathetically suggested that he might not have done anything that bad:

[Kehinde Andrews @kehinde_andrews]

This article is irresponsible and borderline libellous 'journalism' from @nytimes

The statement that Prof Arday was an 'early career scholar and underqualified' for the Cambridge job is simply untrue

He was a professor BEFORE he went to Cambridge/ 1

When we talk about Medicare for All, we’re not just talking about covering every man, woman and child.

We’re talking about expanding Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing — something supported by 92% of Americans.

Healthcare is a human right. Let’s make it happen.

[Peter Jukes @peterjukes]

So the allegation of plagiarism in his PhD was investigated and dismissed. It turns out he did run all those marathons. So tell me, precisely, all you online sleuths — what exactly did Jason Arday do wrong?

(Apart from being the wrong class and colour of course)

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

Mark my words here. I'm not exaggerating. Nathan Cofnas is a Zionist, a hereditarian supremacist and part of the heavily-funded 'Dark Enlightenment' movement, initiated by Nick Land and fronted by Thiel, Yarvin and Tech Bros. They seek the end of democracy and a shift to technocratic population control. Jason Arday was a carefully selected vulnerable target, the first of a campaign designed to discredit the university system and eventually all public institutions. This system, poorly managed by naive, comfortable liberals, is currently being targeted by private equity. It will take more than DEI vanity to defend it. The left must toughen up its intellect and its politics. This is a serious, rich and powerful enemy operating at a global level, probably more powerful, and certainly cleverer and more insidious, than anything we saw in the 1930s. https://t.co/ziYvckbHup

Is Stephen A. Smith mad at the NABJ for assaulting him with an emoji?

Or is he upset about being treated like he treated Jemele Hill or Jasmine Crockett or Bakari Sellers or domestic violence victims or Black women or Black men who wear hoodies or... https://t.co/YSu3uhhrjb

Last year, Jeff Bezos sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring while his real tax rate was less than 1%.

Under my 5% billionaire wealth tax, Mr. Bezos would owe $12.7 billion & still have $240 billion left over.

URGENT! Those of us who can, should consider travelling to the West Bank and Jerusalem to help Palestinian families under attack and the activists deployed to protect them.

🚨NEW: Jeffries declared his opposition to Medicare For All 72 hours after a Yale study shows it would save 100,000 lives & $1 trillion

Context: Jeffries raked in $391k from health PACs & faced no primary pressure to hold the line on Dem priorities because a primary was crushed

[Alex🌹🇺🇦🇵🇸 @mndemsoc]

Reminder that 22 House Dems voted to censure Rashida Tlaib for saying "from the river to the sea" but not a single one of them is moving to censure Randy Fine who has repeatedly called for mass extermination of Muslims

he is NOT a professor — a crucial detail for understanding his motivation for targeting a black academic who was. He is a mediocre, unemployable white academic who fantasizes about getting a job when the people he considers racially inferior are out

"Unskilled labor" is a capitalist myth.

Hakeem Jeffries supporting unconditional financial support for Israel but saying no to Medicare for all, SOMETHING THAT ISRAELIS GET WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS is some real bullshit

[Michelle_BYoung @michelle_byoung]

The more I read about this man the ANGRIER I get! He was CLEARED of plagiarism he was found to have misattributed a paragraph which in academia is NOT A BIG DEAL nowhere near the level of PLAGIARISM. This was a witch hunt and a tragedy!

This was the tabloid press almost 40 years ago when the late Benjamin Zephaniah was offered a role at Cambridge.

Things haven’t changed much.
