And the media obliged. All in all, it has been a very successful couple of weeks for bad-faith attacks on higher education. In just 10 days, the New York Times published 13 pieces about the President of one university in the aftermath of both the hearings and the plagiarism allegations.</p><p>"Is that a lot? To provide a comparison, we would need a benchmark of a university president accused of academic misconduct at a very prestigious institution. As it turns out, Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne faced more serious accusations of academic misconduct involving data manipulation. A formal investigation was announced in November of 2022, and he was forced to resign in July of 2023. So, how many articles did the Times write about the topic prior to his resignation? Zero. And zero is probably the right number, because this is not national news until an actual resignation. But that is not the standard being applied to Gay, because the campaign is not about academic misconduct."</p><p>Don Moynihan (22 Dec 2023) <a href="https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-campaign-to-remove-the-president" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the</span><span class="invisible">-campaign-to-remove-the-president</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/freeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/dei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dei</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/academicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academicChatter</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/academicFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academicFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/campuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>campuses</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/misconduct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misconduct</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Stanford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stanford</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/IvyLeague" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IvyLeague</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/MIT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MIT</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Harvard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harvard</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Penn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Penn</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/NYT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NYT</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/whiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whiteSupremacy</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/commOdon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commOdon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/rightWing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rightWing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Republicans</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/liberals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>liberals</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a></p>
