Dr. Carol Swain was troubled by the political scientists who “defended her (Dr. Swain) or said they were not troubled by her plagiarism. That was something that I found very disconcerting, but I can tell you that she plagiarized from the wrong person when she chose me. And Harvard University has had plenty of time to reach out to me. They have not, and so they were served with a letter yesterday, and we expect a response on, I believe it’s Monday, and, you know, we’ll go from there. But they will be held accountable.”

Dr. Swain sat for an interview on OANN and told the host that the standards are lowered since DEI, and if you are a DEI appointee, you get a free pass on plagiarizism. She said Dr. Gay’s resignation was definitely not the result of racism. Harvard even tried to redefine plagiarism. They’re calling it “duplicative language.”
