However, it did not shock anyone closely following her situation. Gay stepped down less than a month after giving disastrous testimony in Congress about her university's laissez-faire approach to protecting Jews on campus from rising expressions of antisemitism that followed Hamas's terrorist attacks on Israel. A double whammy occurred when it was reported that Gay had committed serial plagiarism involving her 1997 PhD dissertation completed while a student at Harvard and in other published works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong those whose work Gay pilfered was Dr. Carol Swain, author of the ground-breaking 1993 book\u003cem\u003e Black Faces, Black Interests: The Representation of African Americans in Congress\u003c\/em\u003e. In \u003cem\u003eThe Gay Affair\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. Swain offers a candid, compelling narrative about Gay, Harvard, academic plagiarism, and how she (Swain) was rebuffed and threatened financially when she attempted to seek a legal remedy from Harvard officials. For an insider's look into the world of elite institutional academia and how corners often get cut, Swain's \u003cem\u003eThe Gay Affair\u003c\/em\u003e is a no-nonsense must-read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Gay Affair\u003c\/em\u003e is the 13th book Dr. Carol M.
