On Standards


Jonathan Last: “I think we can agree that if plagiarism would get a student kicked out of Harvard then the president of Harvard can’t have committed plagiarism, yes? That makes sense. We need some standards.”

“So a question for the people braying for Claudine Gay’s scalp these last couple of weeks: What is your opinion on Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid?”

“Because it seems to me that anyone outraged that a mere plagiarist could hold the relatively humble position of university president would be spending every ounce of their strength trying to prevent a man who has been convicted of having committed sexual assault, is under 91 felony indictments, and who incited a motherforking insurrection to be President of the United States.”

“But you don’t see a lot of that, do you? Quite the opposite. Most of the people who were most exercised about Claudine Gay’s misdeeds are either anti-anti-Trump, or objectively pro-Trump.”
