arguing that the top board in harvard did not do their homework before hiring claudine gay. let me read what sam lesson said to me. he said, i believe in harvard, i love harvard, but the universities clearly in a weak spot. lesson is hoping to fix how rib eye getting elected to the university's board of overseers. he's scrambling to get enough signatures to get on to the ballot. to make his case at harvard needed to be fixed, he pointed to a drop in early applications at harvard. those applications fell by 17% to four-year lows. that is early admission applications. we should note that the cutoff date for early admission to harvard was november 1st. that was before claudine gay testified to congress, before these allegations really emerged. but it is also after some of these antisemitism issues on campus. clearly it has been a tumultuous time at harvard. the harvard brand that is taken nearly 400 years to build has only taken a hit over the last few months. >> it really has. matt, thank you for that report. water up to the top of telephone poles as powerful storms lead to da

. >> bryan: bill ackman said in a letter on x knowing what we know now, would harvard consider claudine gay for the position, the answer is definitively no, the board's decision on president gay could not be more straightforward. liz magill resigned on yesterday, she will remain a tenured professor and mit board says their president has full and unreserved support. we'll see. >> sandra: a huge story, thank you. john. >> john: let's bring in byron york, chief political respondent and fox news contributor. more than 500 faculty are trying to save claudine gay, it's a very short letter, short, sweet, succinct, we the under signed faculty urge you in the strongest possible terms to defend the independence of the university and resist political pressures at adds of academic freedom, including the removal of claudine gay. it cannot proceed if it's dictated by outside forces. you think she survives or not? >> she may do that. i think we are at a time this has become intensely politicized. this happened at a congressional hearing and the person who questioned the presidents was representative elise

everything we're still learning about how the powers that be rushed in to protect its president claudine gayite her repeated, brazen instances of plagiarism. now, when journalist chris rufo first broke this story, harvard claimed it had conducted an independent review of gay's work. and found only a few instances of what they called inadequate citation. i love that they even commended her for proactively requesting corrections to two of the articles in question. but, now, the free beacon has uncovered 40 other instances of plagiarism, which means i guess more so-called corrections from claudine gay. three in total. again, harvard calls this instances of inadequate citation. now, it's gotten so bad that even the "new york times" is calling it embarrassing. and, remember, if a freshman was accused of similar academic dishonesty he likely would have already been dismissed from the school unless well maybe if he or she were protected by the dei shield that they are holding up to protect ms. gay. >> this is kind of the beauty of how racism works. if you are black and you don't achieve at the high

claudine gay gay should have been fired.rd is committed to dei and claudine gay's race protected her from losing her job at the expense of putting jewish students in harm's way. >> ainsley: what if this were the kkk, how would she feel then? >> if it was a protected group, this would never happen. you would have the national guard and every black student protected 24/7. the jewish community and students are in danger. they are being intimidated, it is clear jewish students have been deprioritized. i'm a civil rights attorney. claudine gay is being given preferential treatment because of her skin color. jewish students being devalued because of their religious beliefs. >> ainsley: talk about yale, hard to get into, easy to stay in. 80% of grades are in the a range. one professor is saying this is dishonest and objective is to make everybody happy, not smarter. yale students are smart and well prepared and earn high grades, instructors determine grading performances individually. what is your response as a teacher and professo

they're going to stand by claudine gay. they put out this statement pledging unanimous support calling her, quote, the right leader to help our community heal. but the statement from the harvard corporation did offer some criticism including how harvard responded to the hamas terror attacks saying, quote, the university's initial statement should have been an immediate, direct, and unequivocal condemnation. calls for genocide are despicable and contrary to fundamental human values. and the statement did note that gay has apologized for her testimony and committed to redoubling the fight against anti-semitism. now this will come as a huge relief to the harvard faculty who spoke up -- hundreds in the last 36 hours spoke out in support of gay. clearly a lot of harvard professors, they did not want what they saw as outsiders meddling in their internal affairs. i did already hear from harvard professor jason furman, a former top obama economic official, and he told me that he's glad that the harvard corporation made its own deci

i think claudine gay needs to, you know, be more vocal in her comments. instance, at the hearing she often said things were kind of personally abhorrent. i think she needs to be stronger. i think she needs to say that this is not what harvard stands for. you know, it's very regular to walk around harvard's campus and hear chants for intifada which is a call for violent resistance against jewish people living in israel, terrorist attacks against civilians. so i think she needs to be more strong in her condemnation of those phrases and i think she needs to ensure that the enforcement of the code of conduct is even and that, you know, people who are causing disruptive protests are, you know -- are punished according to the code of conduct, you know, not -- we shouldn't be punishing just a mere protest, i think that would go against university values, but when the protest veers into violations of the code of conduct, that should be punished, especially because these protests are so, you know, disconcerting to the jewish community. you know, one girl told me j

what if this is a different minority, what if claudine gay said this about black people, gay people?ld you be defensive as you are now? under claudine gay there has been almost complete destruction of reputation, loss of billion dollars. calls for further federal action, charges are plagiarizing her dissertation. i'm confused why people ask me why she should resign as opposed to asking why should she stay. >> todd: you are asking for open dialogue, harvard president and faculty asking for the same thing, shouting about free speech. it is important to take the latest rankings into account. foundation ranking harvard last in college free speech ranking. first of all, harvard, on paper commits to protecting free speech, has a dismal record, sanctions speech protected under first amendment standard. seven have resulted in sanction. where was this president when students came to faculty members complaining their voices on campus were silenced? >> great question. we have to keep in mind, this president's university mandates all students attend title 9 -- ronald sullivan, beloved professor

none of them outright called for claudine gay to be fired. in fact, they note that it's quite rare for academics or even students who commit flip plagiarism time to be fired or expelled. boris and breonna? >> matt, thank you for that report. we will continue to follow it. >>> now, to some of the other headlines we're watching this hour. furniture trying to he is a retailer announcing supplies of its products could be delayed due to the rebel attacks on ships in the red sea. several of the world's biggest companies have paused shipments on that rig after shipments were attacked by iranian-backed houthi rebels. the attacks are forcing companies to reroute around the cape of good hope, adding days to the trip. and toyota is recalling roughly 1 million cars on the u.s. because the front passenger airbag may not deploy properly in a crash. the recall affects several 2020 and 2021 model year toyota and lexus models. to see if your vehicle is part of the recall, go to toyota.com slash recall. pardon me. also, clowns.com being sued for allegedly fail

again the university says president claudine gay will remain in office, president of harvard, theysis on the housing market found that the new home payment skyrocketing since president biden took office. in january of 2021, the price was under $1800 on average, you're talking about the average monthly payment for a new home, while the same price today from 1787 is now 3322. that is up more than $1500 a month, former president trump put out this statement on true social, three years ago annual income went up by more than $6000 the 30 year mortgage rate reached a record low under biden real income has gone down by $7400 per family and cumulative inflation it is nearly 20% higher, joining me now tennessee congressman andy ogles the house financial services committee, thank you very much for being here, that is sticker shock when you see the monthly payments, that is what are the reasons that people have walked away from mortgages, isn't it? >> absolutely fear working class family, if your family trying to start out you have seen prices driven up by people moving out of blue cities at

claudine gay is very much the hot seat still. first over her-time before congress. now it's her writings that are under intense scrut iny. harvard is confirming gay is issuing corrections to her 1997 ph.d. dissertation what they describe as inadequate citations. this is on top of the corrections that were issued just last week to her scholarly work in the 2000s and those corrections came after an independent review by harvard's top board. harvard says that its top governing board concluded these issues are regrettable but they don't constitute research misconduct, which something that would be punishable. as you mentioned, a house committee on education is also reviewing these plagiarism allegations, alleging there is a double standard here, requesting a written response from the university from eight days from now. virginia foxx in this latest letter, if a university is willing to look the other way and not hold faculty accountable for engaging in academically dishonest behavior, it cheapens the mission and value of its education. you've got to wonder whether the wa

why did claudine -- listen to all of these people defending claudine gay, well, she was surprised. what do you mean she was surprised. the entire topic of her testimony was on this and the reason she gave that answer is that she sides with the protestors. she's a radical leftist. she's a cultural marxist. talk about my book, unwoke, how to defeat cultural marxism, this is cultural marxism. they define jews as oppressors. they define palestinians as victims, and the cultural marxist support the violent revolution of the victims against the so-called oppressors, and the result is, because the three of them are leftists, they are cheering for the hamas terrorists. it's disgraceful, and i've got to say at harvard you're seeing jewish students being harassed, threatened at mit, you're seeing jewish students afraid to go to class and these leftists are unwilling to stand up and defend their students. she should resign and i've got to tell you, there are thousands upon thousands of harvard alums who are horrified at the behavior of the institution right now. >> sean: we often talk, senato

but jason riley wrote yesterday why harvard can't fire claudine gay.poorly is to raise questions about the entire diversity enterprise. i feel like this is an easy question. if plagiarism is wrong and they believe that and there is evidence that points to this and at least they should investigate it and do something about it. >> some pretty famous people in our country who have been kicked out of ivy league schools for plagiarism and also the president of the united states, joe biden, who had to exit a presidential race in the 80s for exactly this kind of issue. and as you say, if you have principles and you stick to them. it is not to say you can't ever make an exception but you look at this and this same piece jason riley goes through it. both presidents talked about mcgill from penn were guilty of indulging anti-semitism on campus and equivocating on a response to the terrorists of israel. ms. mcgill is white and gay is not. we need to start getting back to principles and the way you make decisions. >> bill: you have the mayor, right, who had the in

. >> yes, and claudine gay is very much under fire, and the writings are under scrutiny. fast-moving investigations. first the house education investigation is saying that there is a double standard, writing one standard of rules for the students and another for the president. this is what the chair virginia fox said in the letter f. a univ -- if a university is willing to look the other way and not holding faculty to account, then it cheapens the value of the education. also happening overnight, harvard is confirming that gay is issuing corrections to the 1997 ph.d. dissertation because of inadequate citations, and note, this is on top of the corrections issued just last week to her scholarly work in the 2000s. one other point here is that the way this is unfolding in the drip, drip, drip fashion is only adding to the pressure on claudine gay. >> of course, this is part of her appearances in front of congress with the anti-semitism probe and now a plagiarism probe, and has harvard weighed in if they believe it is misconduct in any way? >> right now, omar, they say it is

claudine gay does however have hundreds of people, key people at ha vard in her corner. more than 600 faculty members. jason carroll joins us live in cambridge, massachusetts. a keyboard meeting yesterday. what came of it? >> reporter: well, it's really unclear what came of that meeting yesterday, there's going to be another scheduled meeting today. what we can tell you is that at this point, you know, we don't know whether or not harvard's president claudine gay will stay or will she go, it's clear she has her supporters here on campus, but what's also clear is that her words last week, poppy, caused a great deal of pain and for some people her apology was simply not enough. now that the university of pennsylvania's president has resigned the question for some here at harvard university is, will their president claudine gay be next? >> i don't think that she should leave, because she's like a few months into her presidency and i think it's like a little wild that, like the entire outside world gets to decide what happens on a college campus. >> it's hard to address all

meantime, harvard university's leadership is united standing unanimously and support of president claudine gayng under fire for congressional testimony related to antisemitism on campus. the statement from the board reads in part, quote, we today reaffirm our support for president gay's continued leadership of harvard university. >> now the decision comes after more than 700 faculty signed a petition in support of gay after a firestorm of criticism over her capitol hill testimony on campus as antisemitism. let me bring in cnn's matt egan. so matt, it seems like the president is still facing some pretty strong criticism, and that the statement from the board may not be the final word on the matter. what is the latest here? >> well rahel and boris, this really was a monumental decision facing harvard. they even had to accept claudine gay's apology or push out the first black president and harvard's nearly 400 year history. and so after what they described as extensive deliberations, the harvard corporation announced that they don't want claudine gay to go anywhere. they praised her as the quote,

wood, but i'm going to ask you, why does claudine gay get to skate on obvious plagiarism?e gets to skate because her board is too embarrassed to admitted they made a terrible mistake in appointing her. she gets to skate there is behind this a ferocious political movement. she is the wokest college president in the country and is trying to lead a total transformation of harvard to allow her academic dishonesty to get in the way of trying to turn harvard into the wedge that will undo white supremacy or the systemic racism that she sees around every corner would upset the political commitments ever powerful people at harvard. >> laura: well, it exposes the truth about diversity, equity and inclusion that sadly it lowers standards. and it actually hurts everybody. it doesn't help. it doesn't help people. it actually hurts people. and she was the first black president of harvard. black female president of harvard. and to, you know, a few months into the deal to say whoops, we made a mistake. if she were a white male kind of middle of the road, more milk toast guy, right? would

last week, claudine gay summited corrections to a pair of papers she wrote as a professional academic in 2001 and 2017. but a cnn analysis of her writings documented other examples of plagiarism from the 90s, when gay was studying for her ph. d. at harvard. gay's 1997 dissertation lifted one paragraph almost verbatim from another source without citation. jonathan bailey is a plagiarism expert. >> what troubled you about the specific dissertation allegations more than others? >> that paragraph showed a link to text that clearly could not have been produced any other way than through copying, was not quoted or properly cited in the paper. that is what made me worry about that. >> a harvard spokesperson told cnn in a statement thursday that the university reviewed more of her writings and gay plans to update her 1997 work to correct these additional instances. harvard said the inadequate citations were regrettable, but were not research misconduct. in a previous statement about the earlier allegations, gay defended her works saying, i stand by the integrity of my scholarship. throughout
