Black professor once targeted by Claudine Gay had one word for her fall from grace: ‘Karma

But Al Sharpton will defend her.

Olivia Murray - American Thinker   "In a striking paradox, pro-meritocracy conservatives and pro-DEI Democrats alike can revel in the schadenfreude of Claudine Gay’s fall from grace—because her antics are just that ridiculous. In a since-deleted post to X, Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., a Harvard law professor, high-profile criminal defense attorney, and former college dean said Gay’s disgraced resignation was… “Karma.” You might recall the name from headlines a few years back—Sullivan once served as a faculty dean for Harvard’s Winthrop House, a position from which he was ousted after he agreed to represent Harvey Weinstein, in large part, due to Gay’s influence. Here’s this, from political pundit Wesley Yang:

As Dean of Faculty of Arts and Science, Gay refused to defend Sullivan’s right to provide legal counsel to an unpopular client and played a key role in the decision to remove him from his role as Harvard's first and only black faculty dean in response to student demands. In doing so, Gay shunted aside an appeal by 52 members of the Harvard Law School faculty, who in an open letter to the administration characterized the right to defend unpopular clients as foundational to their own academic freedom and to the rule of law itself.

"Gay didn’t just come after Sullivan though, she came for his wife, Stephanie Robinson, too; from an announcement via Harvard’s Crimson:" . . .

. . .Yet when Fryer undertook research into the killings of unarmed Black men in Houston, Fryer’s research found no racial disparities. He made the mistake of undercutting the racial narrative that the Left has adopted, and as a result, Gay did her best to remove all of his academic privileges, coordinating a witch hunt against him. Fryer survived Gay's crusade of discharge but Fryer’s lab was shut down, his reputation tarnished.

"So as we celebrate the departure of Gay, let’s also pour one out for the black academics who suffered demotions and destroyed reputations when they dared do their jobs in Gay’s sphere of influence."

So who wants to go to Harvard now? -Patricia McCarthy   . . ."While there are many, many qualified black American scholars, Gay is not one of them.  But Harvard would never hire the likes of a Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Shelby Steele, Carol Swain, John McWhorter, Larry Elder, etc.  Those people, scholars all, are not race-hustlers like Claudine Gay.  They do not buy in to the racist victimization ideology of the virtue-signaling DIE crowd.  It should be obvious to all now that it is the left that is racist; leftists believe they must “make allowances” for those less intellectually endowed.  As for all those brilliant black conservatives?  They are condemned for their apostasy, ignored.

"Who will want to go to Harvard now?  Its reputation as one of the three finest universities in America has been shattered.  Its most famous professor emeritus, Alan Dershowitz, is not even allowed to speak there for the crime of mildly defending Donald Trump as per the Constitution.  There is no such thing as tolerance when it comes to persons who hold any remotely conservative opinions, just as there is no such thing as freedom of speech if it deviates from the anti-American radical left (Harvard) party line." . . .
