- I'll say on this, as I have in the past, that I think most plagiarism scandals are overblown, often things that cld simply be carelessness. But the President of Harvard lost her job at least in part over what was apparently a much less serious case. So wld be wrong to brush this off.May 11, 2025 01:39
- I just assume these people (Trump Admin) cheat their way through most situations.
- This wanker gets no grace from me on anything.
- The presidency of Harvard is at least in theory an academic position that should respect academic standards, and plagiarism is a problem there. Hegseth doesn't meet any standards to be SecDef; not meeting another one really doesn't make him any more unsuited for his position than he already was.
