This is just a set of lawsuits waiting to happen to Harvard.
If she fails anyone they can fall back on her being a plagiarist and incapable of doing her job. If she passes people unable to fulfil the requirements others can fall back on her being inept and reducing the value of their achievements within the course.
There is no win for Claudine Gay in this one. Why not go all in and do research for a while and keep away from having any authority over those who have firstly earned their spot at Harvard properly and secondly wish to achieve a noble pursuit while there.
This isn’t the kind of class that anyone will ever fail. This is some “check-the-box” requirement for all grad students regardless of major. It’s the sort of thing you can’t fail unless you no-show every class, and even then, you’ll probably get a gentleman’s C.

Then that's where we should shine the spotlight.
