The once-celebrated academic became the first professor at Harvard to have their tenure revoked since the 1940s when the American Association of University Professors formalized termination rules.
The sad state of this fact shows how far this institution has fallen.
Gay, who will continue to work as a professor at the university, faced a heated congressional hearing about antisemitism in higher education, allegations of plagiarism, as well as a conservative campaign designed to eliminate what it calls the bureaucracy of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
That people like Gay can still teach tells me this is much more common, but only one professor (a white one) faces actual repercussions is disgusting.
