The Harvard scandal is less that the president was forced out by allegations of fairly run of the mill plagiarism, but that the only college presidents being subjected to such intense scrutiny and consequences are women of color.

@alexwild I get that some instances of plagiarism are less malicious or intentional, but I feel like calling any of it run-of-the-mill isn't the best choice of words. We don't want to normalize carelessness or dishonesty

@bigpEE we also don’t want to help white supremacists purge academia of non-whites by playing this game of only caring about academic honesty when it can be racially weaponized.
