Claudine Gay is gone, but diversity ideology still plagues Harvard
Fox News
Claudine Gay's departure as president of Harvard University does not solve all the problems in higher education.
Jay P. Greene is a senior research fellow in the Center for Education Policy at the Heritage Foundation.
But the use of DEI as a departure from academic merit and as a weapon for organizational combat are not eliminated with Gay’s departure. The DEI bureaucracy that she helped build and use for her ascent remains intact at Harvard and throughout higher education.
The growing number of plagiarism charges against Gay focused more attention on her lack of scholarly merit as Harvard’s president. Like the old Catskills joke about the food being horrible and with such small portions, academic fraud characterized the meager research output Gay had produced.
