News about Penny Pritzker

The Harvard leadership committee is under scrutiny after reportedly brushing about Gay's plagiarized work and selecting her as the president based on her administrative experience. A bombshell study has shown that officials failed to conduct a review of her published papers before hiring her. Gay, 54, was then chosen to lead the prestigious university due to her administrative experience, far ahead of two other candidates with far more scholarly credentials. Although Gay's career as a political scientist and administrator earned her accolades, she had no published work behind her, raising eyebrows when Harvard picked her over Tomiko Brown-Nagin and John F. Manning in July 2023. Brown-Nagin, the dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, has been named as one of the nation's best legal scholars. Manning, who heads Harvard's law school, claims the same thing after his career, which saw him litigate nine cases in the US Supreme Court and publish over 40 scientific papers. Dr. Alan Garber, Harvard's provost, has served in an acting role and is now the bookies' favourite to take on the role full time, including alumn Barack Obama.

Representative Virginia Foxx, the lead investigator, sent Penny Pritzker and Interim President Alan Garber a letter advising Harvard Corporation that the paper deadline has been passed. The letter asks that the school discloses any evidence of anti-Semite students being punished, as well as important internal emails and text messages among board members, as well as general information on all foreign donations and funds, mainly from Qatari sources.

Representative Virginia Foxx, the lead investigator of the investigation, sent a letter from Harvard Corporation President Penny Pritzker and Interim President Alan Garber reminding them of the deadline.

It's not clear if Garber is in contention to replace Gay on a permanent basis, but the doctor and health economist is making less money from his board membership gigs than from his full time work as the president of Harvard, for which he was paid $946,000 for the 2021-2022 academic year. Garber's aggressive salary padding is not unusual among college presidents, according to the Boston Globe, who first published the story, Garber's aggressive salary padding is not unusual behavior among college presidents, many of whom receive significant compensation from sitting on the boards of large, for-profit corporations. Those who study and supervise university administration agree that the president's board positions could lead to increasingly significant conflicts of interest, particularly in the medical field, where the boundaries between the academic institutions and the organizations in question can become blurred.

Gay, ecstatic for a breather after a barrage of skepticism over plagiarism allegations and her stifled reaction to campus antisemitism, left on December 22 on a long-awaited trip. People familiar with the call said Penny Pritzker, the head of Harvard University's governing board, called her on December 27 and asked if there was a way forward with her in the president's chair. Although Pritzker's meaning was unclear, Gay's call was nonetheless clear, and the conference call ended with Gay's consent to stop talking.

Following former Harvard President Claudine Gay's departure amid nearly fifty allegations of plagiarism, a target has been pointed at the wife of a leading advocate for Gay rights. Business Insider has launched a witch hunt against billionaire Bill Ackman's wife, Neri Oxman, accusing her of plagiarizing portions of her doctoral dissertation. The essay delves into Oxman's work, selecting instances where she failed to include quotation marks around borrowed passages even though providing the correct details, in a desperate attempt to show that the American-Israeli designer breached MIT's academic integrity requirements.

For those affected by the scandal, there are those who are concerned about the university's handling of the Gay saga, where the university stood by her for 28 days before she eventually resigned. JB Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, and her cousin, Hyatt Hotel manager Tom Pritzker (top inset) were named in the Jeffrey Epstein (bottom inset) papers overnight.

Gay resigned yesterday, only later bowing to calls to stand down a month after her horrific congressional testimony on campus antisemitism and amid rising instances of academic plagiarism throughout her academic career. Harvard Corporation, the university board, praised her resignation 'with sorrow' at her departure. Ackman, who earned his MBA from Harvard in 1992 and now heads Pershing Square, was one of her most vocal critics. The school's leadership, according to Gay, is so fundamentally flawed that it needs to be overhauled completely.

Claudine Gay resigned as the president of Harvard on Tuesday, after only starting the job on July 1. According to it, she would remain a member of staff with a salary similar to that of the president. Gay was only hired on July 1, and her exact salary is yet to be revealed on tax forms. Lawrence S. Bacow, her predecessor, made more than $1.3 million in calendar year 2021, according to The Crimson in May. Gay - then dean of the faculty of art and sciences - earned $879,079, up from the $824,068 reported in 2020. Alan Garber, Harvard's provost, has been named as the interim president. The process of finding a new president is often lengthy, and it involves both the Harvard Corporation - the 12-member group that controls the university's selection process - and the Board of Overseers, a 32-member committee of alumni. According to The Crimson, the searches typically last six months or longer, but Gay's five-month search procedure was the shortest process in more than 70 years.

CALLAHAN: A discussion of intellectual dishonesty. At least 40 times at this count, Harvard and its leftist media cheerleaders have stood behind university president Claudine Gay against allegations of plagiarism for two weeks. According to now, the Harvard Corporation, the university board, found Gay innocent of plagiarism before ever opening an investigation. The fish rots from the head, as the saying goes. The entire board has been involved in a months-long cover-up of Gays. They threatened to bully and discourage newsgathering. They lied when they said that 'these allegations of plagiarism are demonstrably false' - demonstrably how? They didn't even begin looking at Gay's weak academic credentials when they first started investigating his. Now, even Harvard's devout scholarship discloses that her 'duplicative words lacks proper attribution.' Ah, the ostensibly decorous words of the elite. Let's just call it what it is: plagiarism! It isn't just gay people who needs to be shot. The entire board is jeopardized.

The mask has been discontinued. Claudine Gay, the troubled university president, is circling the wagons around emophilic university president Claudine Gay. Liz Magill of UPenn was forced to resign for her part in last week's shameful congressional testimony into an on-campus anti-Jewish hate speech, appearing alongside Gay and MIT's Sally Kornbluth. Rather, this most prestigious of American institutions is leading the world: Antisemitism is welcomed here. How rancid was it? President Gay has unanimous support for the Harvard Corporation, according to our reporter on Tuesday. A letter from 700 faculty members to the university has also been sent. Proof, if any were required, shows that the gruesome institutional rot goes much deeper than just the head.

The lawsuit was brought in New York on Thanksgiving under the state's Adult Survivors Act, with Thursday being the last deadline for such allegations to be heard by judges. Pritzker, the accused, was accused of engaging in sexual crimes without her knowledge...while she was incapacitated and unable to provide consent.' According to the court papers obtained by DailyMail.com, the suspected "sexual offenses" occurred "in or about May 31, 2009" in the Big Apple's Upper Manhattan district.

Griffin (pictured) - the CEO of Citadel, a Miami-based hedge fund, has bought up existing homes on the land with plans to spend an eye-popping $150 to $400 million on his beach-front mega-estate. On completion, his plan, which spans South Ocean Boulevard and Blossom Way, is expected to be worth $1 billion. The humongous home is located just a quarter mile south of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago, a stretch of the Miami boulevard known as 'Billionaire's Row.'

More than 350 faculty members at Harvard University have written an open letter directed at the institution's leadership. The letter was prompted by their tremblings over a student remark, which they regarded as implicitly supporting the mass murder of over 1,400 Israelis. Faculty members expressed dissatisfaction with the university administration's response, which they felt was ineffective. The faculty members wrote to Harvard President Claudine Gay's letter expressing their apprehension about the continuing events in the Middle East and the security of their students on campus.

Tony Pritzker, 62, is divorced from Jeanne Pritzker, a 33-year-old widow. Pritzker, the heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune and the brother of Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker, owns the third largest house in Los Angeles. He is now attempting to enforce his prenup after his wife refused to sign a letter confirming that their prenup is valid and enforceable.
