I agree that the "oh my god, she plagiarized someone" shock & horror was mainly (not entirely) an exercise in firing her, without admitting the main reason - that she initially gave lukewarm pushback to the hysterical "anti-semitism is widespread on campus" fake hoax.

In hindsight, she (& others) might feel that they ought to have pushed back more strongly, and debunked this hoax more definitively, when it was first trotted out.

Since then, we've had, on campuses, Zionist students made into media darlings for a day for being stabbed in the eye, when all that happened is that a piece of fabric lightly brushed her cheek. While other (Seinfeld funded) students attacked campus protestors with lead pipes and whatnot, but getting away scott free.

It's like McCarthyism, mixed with 30's era brownshirts, with the mainstream media coverage being directed by Goebbels.

I agree with your sentiments, but she was not fired. She resigned. There is a big difference. Of course, I wasn't there so I don't know if it was a forced resignation (ie. firing) or not, but everything I look up says she resigned.

Almost no one is ever "fired" from executive roles. They almost always "resign" under pressure. People don't want to give up the best job they will ever have.

You can always get a job as another executive, so I doubt its the "best job she will ever have". But I agree, she was most likely pressured.
