Claudine Gay was making about $1.4 million a year as President of Harvard. When it was revealed she was a plagiarist, and would never have attained her position except for affirmative action, she went back to earning $900k a year as a ‘professor.’ She wasn’t really ‘fired.’

If you’re part of the connected class nothing really bad ever happens to you. Most people when they get fired all the sudden - it’s a big deal. This kind of power structure is what must be broken down entirely - if we want a meritocracy.
