amy: if you can put claudine gay's --gay and context, the first black president, first woman presidentsecond woman to lead harvard university. now her presidency is the shortest it harvard's history. and put in the context of the whole attack on dei, the whole attack on critical race theory, and if you can talk about this campaign by elise stefanik, rufo as they go from the congressional hearing, which did not exceed in taking her down, to this issue of plagiarism. >> let me start with the fact harvard is the oldest, wealthiest, most prestigious university in this country and globally. for almost 400 years, harvard has systematically excluded white women and people of color by and large front it's hallowed corridors, from entering its gates. that is a fact. a fact the university under the previous president admitted to a report called the harvard legacy of slavery report issued just over a year ago, a report that points out precisely how do not only did the university exclude people of color from not getting an education, but collected the bodies of indigenous people and enslaved peopl

gay got let off easier than all of these whites. to keep your million dollar salary and her job at harvard. everybody else got canned and couldn't keep the money. if anything, gay was treated better. so what's next? liberals say the next president of harvard must be a black woman. prime time would to nominate newly minted professor lori lightfoot. you can find a qualified black woman. there's hundreds of them. no one has a problem with that. but hiring should be based on an array of factors. making diversity the top factor without regard for merit, just so you can hire a radical liberal, is a con job that keeps blowing up in our faces. biden's supreme court nominee couldn't see what a woman is. this vice president can't even say anything coherent. smart money says dei is doa. a harvard got involved in the gay scandal says this diversity, quality, and inclusion push have become reverse racism with no payoff. the only path goes to al sharpton and his patronage mail. from sharpton, to biden, to gay, we have learned our lesson. never hi

that's what we saw happen with claudine gay.t we saw happen with barack obama when they demanded his birth certificate. that's effectively what we saw happen with claudine gay over the course of these last months. >> eddie, let's talk about that. i had a great conversation with nicole jones the other night. one of the things which happens in long dissertations, mistakes happen, citation mistakes happen. universities are specific about the difference between citation errors and plagiarism. they have a range of things that happened. harvard did investigate. harvard is an important institution. harvard said, that's not what you said. she did not take anyone's ideas as her own. the main person said he did not think that was plagiarism. bill ackman as a different problem on his hands. his wife is alleged to have done the same thing. he offered great grace to his wife. she makes mistakes. she's only human. claudine gay was not entitled to that. >> right. whatever bill hackman may say, we can pass judgment. i think it's really importan

she called gay's resignation long overdue. she said she was devoid of the academic integrity required of the president of harvard. what is your reaction to today's resignation and the comments from the congresswoman? >> i think elise stefano should be ashamed of herself, because i don't think she cares about any of the things she talked about. i don't think she cares about anti-semitism. i don't think she cares about academic freedom. i don't think she cares about any of the things she presses on. she cares about winning political points. i think that political attacks on a university are all things we should be frightened by, regardless of our politics. i'm sad for the american universities, and i am sad for claudine gay, because i think she was a capable leader facing an extremely difficult situation, and people like elise stefano were not helping. >> let's say even everything you say is true, potentially, when you look at the writings, is that something you would have done, in the way you write? would you have done what cla

gay's tenure was historically brief but also barrier breaking. she was the university's first black president and supporters like the reverend al sharpton wrote. this is an attack on every black woman in this country who has put a crack in the glass ceiling and the health, strength of equity and inclusion. gay also touched on the allegations of plagiarism in her academic work saying it has been distressing to have doubt on confronting hate and scholarly rigor and frightening to be subjected to personal threats fueled by racial animus. she first faced backlash from student groups blaming israel for the hamas terror attacks. pro-palestinian protests rocked campus and in december when she testified in the exchange she failed to say that calling for the genocide of jews violated university policies. gay apologized but soon faced expanding allegations of plagiarism. >> i believe these university presidents sit atop these institutions that have rotted out and have institutionalized anti-semitism particularly after the hamas terrorist attack against isr

gay herself said. ideal canvas for exactly these kinds of attacks, which i wrote in my column and thank you so much for mentioning it, as an affirmative reaction to the dei efforts led largely by black women and that are being opposed by white, mostly white, mostly male gate keepers who, you know, want to hold on to control of power over ideas in this untry. >> and khalil, let's look at just the demographics right now at harvard unersity, very old school, might be the oldest university in the country. is now 40.8% it 29.9% asian american despite m blum claiming asiaamicans are being discriminated against places like harvar 15.3% african-american, which is not far from the demographics of black folks in this country, 11.3% latino. 2.2% native american, 0.5% native hawaiian. it feels like that is what folks are really, really mad about. a guy named bill ackman who claims that the harvard president was hed because of dei, writing on twitter, going off on twitter, celebrating her exit. it is also not good

gay for the past month? >> jake, clearly this is a very difficult moment for one of the most prestigious universities on the planet. they have now decided to accept the resignation of claudine gay , the first black president in harvard's nearly 400 year history, and just the second woman to ever lead this university. as you noted, it was just three weeks ago that the school's top board, they voiced their unanimous support for gay and now they are accepting a letter of resignation. in a statement, they said that gay has shown remarkable resilience in the face of deeply personal and sustained attacks, and while some of this is played out in the public domain, much of it is taken the form of republic and in some cases racist vitriol directed at her through disgraceful emails and phone calls. now, the harvard corporation, they say they accept this resignation with sorrow, but did note that gay acknowledged some of her missteps along the way . all this raises the question -- what changed over the last three weeks

now some white harvard professors are making bold statements, not only in relation to gays.our bureaucracy's desire for diversity, equality and inclusion. this desire is destroying universities across the country. we began to divide everyone into oppressors of the oppressed. the oppressors are the successful people of the white race, everyone else is oppressed. this is what students are taught these days. gay was appointed specifically for the sake of diversity and equality, and now she blames everyone but herself. she talks about racism. i'm not racist, i just don't think she deserved the position. house education committee, announced despite resignation gay, congress is still waiting for a report from harvard on the fight against anti-semitism and plagiarism at the university. apparently, republicans are no worse at mastering cultural techniques than democrats. cancellations and are ready to use them to win the american domestic political struggle. anton dadykin, lead. next, the project "the world in the palm of your hand". how has the united states turned the fight agains

a lot was going on with claudine gay and plagiarism. victor davis hanson senior fellow at the hoover institution. chris, you are one of the big reasons why gay's plagiarism was exposed and this is a win that she is out of this position. there is so much more to be discussed and to be rooted out here. is there not? >> yeah. that's right. certainly this was my initial goal to topple president gay from the presidency of harvard. but harvard has to go much further. harvard needs to abolish its dei programs. needs to put a permanent end to racist admission system. it needs to pledge institutional neutrality on controversial political issues. and it needs to diversify the faculty not on skin color but on philosophy, on political belief, on viewpoints. that's really what harvard needs to do to start balancing the institution. our reporting on claudine gay's plagiarism on dei empire and absolutely botched handling of the campus anti-semitism controversy shows that the institutions are weak. their ideology is a failure. and we're just getting st

claudine gay's resignation as the president of harvard.has become clear that it is in the best interests of harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than the individual. what do you think, john? >> well, i don't know if i should admit this anymore in public. i'm also a harvard graduate. i want to harvard university. i think her presidency was untenable. i think these defenses that she's been singled out because of her race are also untenable. she gave what i thought you said and the program was right, she gave a terrible response to the claims of anti-semitism at harvard. she's had serious plagiarism problems. i think what has to happen is that harvard and others don't allow anti-semitism and leaders -- university presidents that can't stand up and defend jewish students should be removed. >> trace: i couldn't get in to harvard, john. i appreciate that you are a harvard kcolorado -- scholar. thank you. hezbollah worns of the finger on the trigg

pressure had been building on claudine gay to step down.her testimony last month, it wasn't enough, making her the shortest serving president in the history of the university. six months into her tenure, harvard university president claudine gay announced she's resigning so that "our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge." gay's resignation comes nearly a month after she and the presidents of upenn and mit faced widespread condemnation following this testimony at a house education hearing on anti-semitism on college campuses. >> does calling for the genocide of jews violate harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? yes or no? >> it can be depending on the context. >> it does not depend on the context. the answer is yes, and this is why you should resign. >> reporter: house republican chair elise stefanik, a harvard alum, posted two down, referring to gay and penn president liz mcgill, who also resigned days after the hearing. while harvard's governing board initially backed gay, she faced increasing scrutiny follow

the same with gay.'s a victim because she's black not the jewish students who are invisible to these people so in the end she could have easily resolved this and bill ackman is right that board last to go. they threatened a defamation lawsuit to a new york newspaper because though wanted to right about the defamation of claudine gay and said the 50 instances os right, this claudine gay deserved to go and that's the end of it. it had nothing to do with race. >> he does wasn't the mit woman to go. >> she's not going. he wrote that before she wrote this. so we'll see. >> really good contributions from all of you. >> except for you. >> i mean that. insane liberal policies forcing democrats to sound like republicans and here what philly's new mayor said next.

we talk about claudine gay christina and you think was it the plagiarism? was it the handling of anti-semitism on campus? was it kind of a combination of both or was there outside pressure you think that kind of led to this? >> it was the money. >> trace: or the money. >> and the loss of the donors. it goes back to the original point. we are so lost as a nation when it is controversial to condemn the idea that genocide or the threat of genocide would be harassment. it was long overdue that she resigned. it's good that the president resigned last month and also we need the mit president to resign as soon as possible as well so we can start to heal and move forward and send a clear message of what our values are and who we are as people, that it is not okay to threaten genocide. >> trace: that would be the academic trifecta if all three. so allen dershowitz witnesses becky wrote in the new york post. accordingly, speaking of claudine gay, she is only a symptom albeit an important one of the destructive impact dei is having on universities across the country.

what happened with claudine gay?re are character issues which is why she was forced to step down. there are so many things disappointing to me about this, jesse, from the story. today's news better late than never, i guess. the plagiarism instead of what happened with stepanek is disturbing in its own right. when you look through the entire letter harvard sent to its community, eventually towards the end they mentioned okay, she was taken you're responsible for mistakes. but what stood out the most, they denounced the racist attacks apparently coming claudine gay's way. as they should any attack should be denounced. they did that so clearly and swiftly in the letter. what about claudine gay herself and she was being asked, how many times by elise stefanik is it wrong to denounce anti-semitic comments and of two students on the campus? and she couldn't even answer that clearly. she refused to answer it. so to me, i don't have that much sympathy. no, i don't feel like i need to stand up for her because of the color of
