There is no way this is an accurate statement from a reporter. Has the liberal media become so desperate to protect their bad actors that they will try to explain how serious infractions that lead to one’s termination are trivial matters?

While Gay isn’t resigning over that, her being exposed as an academic fraud is certainly more damning.
