"Before this scandal basically no one knew or cared who the president of Harvard was." Possibly because Claudine Gay was an academic nobody with no other significant talents? Plenty of people knew who Lawrence Summers was. It is a similar story to Mozilla. Many programmers know who Brendan Eich is. How many people know the name of the current Mozilla director without googling? Me neither, the only thing I know about her is that she was chosen because she offended nobody. Hardly a recipe for standing out in a crowd of other gray mice.
