  1. She should step down. Merit should be the reason for hires

  2. Harvard allows plagiarism as long as you fit the progressive leftist mold.

  3. She plagiarized the poop emoji with her face 💩

  4. Just wondering if that was also her view and respond during George Floyd death
    depend on the context

  5. More consequences of Affirmative Action.

  6. Remove this sick president from office

  7. Who is bankrolling Harvard's board? Follow the money trail, and you will know that this is not about DEI or race. It is simply about foreign money.

  8. looks to me like the jews in congress are drawing at straws now

  9. "This is difficult work…." NO ITS NOT!

  10. Alan Dershowitz plagiarized & falsified much of his book.

  11. Academics are the most corrupt on earth

  12. jeeez…. Wake up sheeple ! You know that there was big red flags before you put this steamin pile in that position ! gawd what a bunch of morons for ignoring the plainly obvious ! jeeez

  13. Ridiculous that she got a PhD while plagiarizing, but not shocking, she did graduate form Harvard after all. On a Political Science Degree, which she won a Toppan Prize for, lol!!!

    Harvard clearly offers ZERO benefits of what you actually learn & rewards both Doctorates & Prizes to undeserving Candidates, then hires them to lead the University.

    Yeah, this is what Affirmative Action gets you: Meritless Degrees & Prizes.

    Harvard's Reputation is completely ruined. Just go to a state school and get a real education instead of useless indoctrination by antisemites. Elite? No, Elitist.

    Actual critical thought is mocked at Harvard & not sincerely taught.

  14. i am favorably impressed that so many people are sticking to the subject of her (alleged) academic fraud, and not tying it to the Stefanik McCarthy style inquisition.

  15. I’d rather have a bad speech than to plagiarize.

  16. oh, c'mon, you are not really expecting any serious scientific work from a black person, are you?..

  17. Scientific/ research committee seems more political rather than ethical.

  18. She would be protected by Affirmative Action.

  19. What happens to college students who plagiarize? First time is suspension and automatic class failure, second time is expulsion. In fact, if the first occurrence of plagiarism is bad enough, they’ll jump straight to expulsion. If a degree has been issued yet plagiarism is found post-graduation, they will rescind your degree and report to employers that you cheated and therefore didn’t graduate. They literally make every college student take a class in their very first semester of college where plagiarism is clearly explained along with the ramifications. “Oopsies” is rarely accepted. Especially at such prestigious universities.

    So where’s the disciplinary proceeding? Where’s the rescinding of her doctorate for literally plagiarizing other people’s work in her dissertation?

    How can the head-honcho of a college commit plagarism during her education and be let off the hook, yet the students she now oversees don’t get that benefit?

    A true roll model for all of the hard-working respectable kids just trying to get the degree (which is becoming increasingly hard to find).

  20. She's a crook! So typical…

  21. She stole Spike Lee’s whole persona.

  22. She is a disgrace to Harvard and the students. If a student or faculty member did it they would be kicked out or fired. I wonder if her race has something to do why Harvard is protecting her?

  23. Harvard hired her because she is black. That's what is bound to happen.

  24. Can’t students be expelled or lose scholarships if they plagiarize?! This chick is the absolute worst!

  25. There is no such thing as someone with any degree that has not engaged in some form of plagiarism. All papers are a reorganizing of information culled from others. There is very little original thought in the world.

  26. She’s allowed to ‘correct’ a published document to avoid a crime. Can a thief just return the stolen item after they’re caught to avoid being charged?

  27. America ripping itself apart!😂 everyone is under investigation!😂 everyone is a crook!😂😂😂

  28. This woman was obviously installed as president to be politically correct even with the IQ of a bowl of Jello.

  29. Why hasn’t she been fired yet? How many more reasons are needed?

  30. And Harvard Law Professor Allen Dershowitz. He is also charged with plagiarism.
    He is still in a law professor at Harvard stil.. so you make that move then Allen will be in trouble too.. so you better start bringing Allen and his fPlagiarism legal papers… oh I forgot he is Jewish, you will be called antisemitic, if you go after Allen Dershowitz..

  31. So the so called party against Government intrusion into Private businesses are the ones now pushing an investigation. Ok let's used that A.I. supercomputer to analyze every paper written by the GOP and their families for plaigerism.

  32. If this was a student they would be long gone. Shame on Harvard.

  33. We all know if this was a white person they would have been fired by now.

  34. I guess at Harvard, plagiarism depends on context.

  35. Anyone else notice how Professor Swain displayed her books prominently in the background? Clever product placement…

  36. Wow.
    What's with the waking up at NBC?
    "Well, we have to go investigate SOME THING, or remain a laughing-stock…"

  37. No surprise. They (Congress and Jews) wanted her gone for her failure to condemn hate speech against Jews. She should have, in my opinion. There's no place, where it should be okay to speak out against other religions and calls for genocide.
