I find it utterly hilarious that Claudine Gay was able to plagiarize her way into being president of Harvard lol. It's impressive to the point that I can respect the hustle.
I get where you're coming from, but I think it's incorrect to assume she pulled one over on Harvard.
Rather, this is a case of the diversity grift that elite institutions are in on. They know that academic fraud is rampant in the nonsense disciplines and they look the other way because it serves their diversity goals.

Yes but she had to know she was plagiarizing throughout her career... that had to give her a little giggle of guilt inside as she continued to get promoted.

It might have, but I think it might be normalized enough that she knew nobody cared.
