DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Plagiarist Claudine Gay getting paid $3.1 million/year after “resigning” from Harvard.

The arithmetic is $1.4 million in W-2 earnings plus another $150k in “other compensation” and then, since she didn’t work for the first half of the year (“post-presidential sabbatical” (at home trying to figure out how to get ChatGPT to do the tedious plagiarism work on the next book?)), multiply by 2 = $3.1 million/year annualized.

Separately, Claudine Gay is the “Wilbur A. Cowett Professor of Government and of African and African-American Studies”. How much money would one have to give to Harvard to get her $3.1 million/year job retitled “the Jason A. K. Arday Professor of Government and of African and African-American Studies”?

All this talk about Jason Arday, but people still don’t realise what DEI has done. One, it has destroyed millions of lives (they’re all white men, so no one cares). Two, it has destroyed entire industries and even art forms, potentially forever.

There’s no sign that literature,…
