Nowhere in the brief missive did Gay even bother to account for her academic transgressions (which under different circumstances would be simply referred to as “fraud”) nor apologize for them. On the contrary, her only expression of regret was that the student body wouldn’t get to have her as president anymore. “I had hoped with all my heart to lead us on that journey, in partnership with all of you,” she continued. “As I now return to the faculty, and to the scholarship and teaching that are the lifeblood of what we do, I pledge to continue working alongside you to build the community we all deserve.”

Gay is no longer president, and it is sad. But she pledges. She will continue. She will work. She will build. Alongside you.

The courage and fortitude it takes to be a self-professed victim in America is truly awe-inspiring.

The opportunities for Gay won’t dry up with her resignation. They will surely multiply — a book deal, TV appearances, speaking gigs, and on and on.

[Like I wrote earlier, Gay will land on her feet, thanks to her membership in all the right DEI categories she espoused. The media in particular will hang on her every word, and you can bet she’ll get a seven-figure book deal out of this. We’ll just need to run it through plagiarism checking software when it comes out.
