Harvard's actions are also consistent with her not doing good research. Note that she was not snapped up by another institution to be faculty, just a "tenure track position". One red flag is that the reporter cites all the times she talked to media and congress. A good indicator that it was superficial and headline driven work.
I'm sure she was a valuable source for reporters needing dramatic quotes on a slow news day, but really there should be more heft than that.
