In recent days, editors have removed mention of the allegations from the intro to her article, eliminated detailed descriptions of the alleged plagiarism, and have attempted to minimize Gay's handling of antisemitism on campus, Breitbart reports.

In Congressional testimony earlier this month following several on-campus incidents involving pro-Palestinian protesters targeting Jewish students, Gay refused to say whether calls for "intifada"  violates Harvard's conduct policies. [That whole controversy is, as is often the case, a game of semantics - as the word "intifada" doesn't mean "genocide," as Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) suggested in her line of questioning to Gay, along with the presidents of UPenn and MIT (which led to the resignation of Penn's Liz Magill). Intifada more appropriately translates to "shaking off" an oppressor, or an "uprising" against them.]

Gay's initial statement and criticism of it from prior Harvard President Larry Summers was mentioned several days later on her Wikipedia page and information about her Congressional testimony added more recently. Details about her testimony were promptly removed claiming "due weight" followed by the rest of the paragraph with editor "Innisfree987" claiming the cited sources did not back the material. The latter claim was subsequently proven wrong and the material restored. At the same time, Innisfree removed further material in the article unfavorable to Gay claiming "due weight" as the reason.

The flurry of coverage about Gay's comments eventually allowed some mention of them to remain. While expansion on the controversy over Gay's comments about campus antisemitism concerns continued on Gay's page, Christopher Rufo's allegations of Gay plagiarizing sources in her dissertation and other writings began getting attention. Attempts to mention the plagiarism allegations in her article's intro were repeatedly rejected based on the sources being unreliable. The cited sources included the Post Millennial, which was banned on Wikipedia in an ongoing purge of conservative media, including Breitbart News and Fox News. -Breitbart

The internal battle among editors continued, with one trimming the contents down to a single paragraph, so as to eliminate specific examples of Gay's alleged plagiarism, claiming "due weight" as the reason.
