Folks, this is too funny. Claudine Gay plagiarized even the acknowledgement section of her dissertation. She copied somebody else’s words of gratitude because she couldn’t be bothered to write her own.
This is really funny. The President of Harvard can’t even write her own Acknowledgements.
Are you familiar with the satirist Tom Lehrer?

It is like President Gay set out to take his advice literally. “Every chapter I stole from somewhere else. Index I copied from old Vladivostok telephone directory.”
This is an extraordinary embarrassment. Harvard should fire her and revoke tenure.

A stretch to call that plagiarism. These are boilerplate words.

This could be a coincidence if it weren’t coming from somebody who spent a lifetime plagiarizing. There are already over 40 cases of her plagiarizing. And that’s in a career with a minimal research output.
What an absolute embarrassment.
