1. Are straight white men to be automatically disqualified?

What if he is most competent and qualified person to lead the school now? Why can’t that be acceptable?

[dpibel]

3. Damn straight, Skippy!

Because at any given moment there is one and only one person in the world who is qualified to be president of Harvard. They interviewed all the possibilities, and this guy was head and shoulders above the rest.

Thank the white Baby Jesus that we're finally getting past the rampant discrimination against straight white males that has so characterized this nation.

Wait...

Did I just slip over to Newsmax?

6. We are all entitled to our own opinion here on

DU. Thank you all for your responses.

5. Really! Unreal.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. JFC her name is Claudine Gay.

[Sympthsical]

4. To be fair

When someone says shooting at a Jewish school in Canada is "chickens coming to roost", I'm not sure we should be expecting too much in the area of racial sensitivity from the individual.

7. GarBer

Jewish, too.

Got more hackles to raise?

8. No. Alan B. Garber, the current provost

14. The current provost is a logical choice for interim president.

[Wonder Why]

9. Oh! No! It is not critical that every minority female is replaced by another

of the same. What is important is that all groups have a fair opportunity and the numbers of women and minorities increases. I'd rather see 10 more corporate CEOs from excluded groups than one more university opening.

And I would rather see more good ones than another Clarence Thomas who only shows that the wrong person is just that (not meaning to compare the two).

10. He is the provost, the second most senior officer at Harvard. And Garber is just the interim president

while they do an executive search for a replacement.

[yardwork]

12. Thank you for inserting some facts into the handwringing.

[Tickle]

11. What? I missed something

What happened

[yardwork]

13. Harvard president Claudine Gay resigned.

Harvard appointed their provost as interim president, while they conduct a search for a permanent new president.

Gay resigned due to increasing accusations of academic plagiarism, and fall out from her disastrous testimony to Congress.

15. Alan Garner the English novelist?

Writer of children's fantasy novels?
Wow

[tritsofme]

16. Incredibly bizarre that you choose to refer to Ms. Gay only as "the black female"

[Easterncedar]

17. Chris Rufo is taking credit, FFS

[waddirum]

18. She has a name and a title

Your descriptor speaks volumes.
