Chris Rufo has been doing yeoman's work, exposing the rot in higher education with a specific focus on rampant plagiarism.
But some, like this young lady at Harvard who writes for The Crimson, aren't too happy about Rufo's efforts.
Yes, Rufo is exposing plagiarism at Harvard but it's a "witch hunt" because most of the perpetrators are black women, according to this student.
I don't have to defend Rufo, he's done that quite well himself.
The Left doesn't know how to compute the fact that witch hunts are turning up witches.
But no matter! Why would anyone oppose her proposal?
Frankly, it's very troubling that the Harvard administration has let Rufo and his allies dominate the plagiarism conversation. The University has stuck its head in the sand, ignoring the gigantic bullseye on the backs of Black female faculty. It's time to take back control.
The critical first step? Harvard should conduct a broad plagiarism review of the entire faculty. I believe that this review will at last set the story straight and reveal that plagiarism is an issue for many academics across demographics and disciplines โ it's not just a Black, female, DEI issue.
I mean, "Everyone at Harvard commits plagiarism, you racist!" isn't exactly the strongest argument against Rufo.
I, for one, fully accept your terms. Everyone at every college, regardless of race, needs to be exposed if they're a plagiarist and then properly punished for their theft.
She thought this would scare Chris Rufo??
This is your brain on wokeness.
She's so unable to think in terms outside of race loyalty that she doesn't realize that Rufo is fine taking down white men for plagiarism too!
Here's more of Rufo's response:
One of the ironies to this accusation is that I have explicitly asked my sources to review the work of white and Asian scholars and, thus far, the verified plagiarism cases have been predominantly from black women. This is not dispositive, nor is it a systematic study, but it is not implausible that CRT/DEI fields would have higher rates of plagiarism, particularly in specified demographics, given that these fields are heavily populated by affirmative action policies and have lower scholarly standards that [sic] more rigorous disciplines.
I agree with Sheryl Sandberg's niece, Maya Bodnick, that Harvard should conduct a systematic review of all scholars, then break down the results by field, race, and sex, so we can have a comprehensive picture of any disparities. This is a great suggestion from The Crimson.
Thanks for the suggestion, Maya! I hope that Rufo is able to take down Harvard completely!
Burn it down, salt the ground, and start over.
