The second most cited violation? Plagiarism.

27 of these students were expelled from @Harvard that year, the @thecrimson reported.

If Gay survives the scandal, social justice will not be the only explanation. Old-fashioned power will also likely have something to do with it. As the pandemic showed , powerful people, regardless of their race, gender, or sexual orientation, are often able to get away with violating laws and protocols for which people with less power are punished.

But social justice ideology helps explain why Gay just might survive this plagiarism scandal, even though countless Harvard students were not so lucky.

[This makes a mockery of the term “honor code” at Harvard. There is no honor at Harvard, especially among its leadership. There is only brute power and its arbitrary application. Harvard has turned itself into a disgrace. — Ed]
