You are right, it shouldn't have taken this long. The question is why did it?

She lasted just 2 days over 6 months. I would not be surprised if there was some financial incentive for her to wait until she passed the 6-month mark. The timing is just too questionable.

Plagiarism in the academic world is probably the worst thing a person can do, other than homicide.

Former President Obama must be in a state of inconsolable grief over this announcement. He lobbied to keep Ms. Gay as president of Harvard. He must like plagiarism, too, which explains why he chose Joe Biden to be his Vice President...

I wonder if her supporters will insist that her replacement is an African American woman also. To some this would make perfect sense, and to others, none at all.

Remember when California insisted the replacement senator be from a certain group? I don't know why that was so necessary but that's how people are.

Yeah, I think behind the scenes I'm sure she was getting suggestions from to people to step down, too many big donors were pulling their money.

The optics of all of it was just too much. The Havard brand has taken a serious hit.

It's now time to shine the spotlight on the Harvard Board of Overseers.

None of the three university presidents who testified that day handled themselves in a manner that one would expect. They seemed to be unsure of themselves, which is not the way a major college president should come across. Perhaps it was because they were tutored by lawyers to be careful in what they said, or maybe they really are just not very good.
