Danielle Allen, a highly respected Harvard Political Science Professor, interviewed for the presidency in 2022. She did not make it past the second round.
Not only did Allen have a much more impressive CV than Gay:
- published 8 books
- 50+ scholarly paper
- Allen has TWO PhD's . One from Harvard. one from Cambridge.
- Stint as Humanities Dean at University of Chicago.
- No errors in citations, odd use of quotation marks & the ability to say
Thank You without stealing other academics work.
Allen is also black woman (unfortunately Hetro but still meets main criteria).
So why did Gay get the gig and was Allen denied the role ?
1. Did Allen have too much merit, (she could think for herself) & not bent the knee sufficiently to the DEI cabal (the Obama crowd did not support her) ?
2. Was Allen an American patriot (in one of her books she seems almost pro- America) ?
3. Was Allen's biggest problem her father was a conservative, who had served in the Reagan Administration ?
When narrowing a pool of applicants by immutable characteristic's, one assumes the most competent of that pool would get the job. Yet, again and again one sees that assumption is false.
I do not know why the less qualified, less competent, Claudine Gay was chosen over Danielle Allen but the selection process at Harvard seems a tad less transparent than one would expect of the finest academic institution on earth.
For now we will have to satisfy ourselves with the debate about what constitutes a real Harvard degree and why Chris Rufo’s is not real.
At least nobody is talking about why Jeffery Epstein had an office on the Harvard campus until 2018 at the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics ? Or why Harvard accepted millions from Epstein or why Evolutionary Dynamics was shuttered in 2021?
