Harvard Clears Its President of ‘Research Misconduct’ After Plagiarism Charges
Harvard University president, Claudine Gay, has come under scrutiny as allegations of plagiarism in her scholarly work surface. The university’s governing body, the Harvard Corporation, stated that Dr. Gay had some instances of inadequate citations in her work but did not violate the university’s standards for research misconduct. These claims were initially publicized by conservative education activist Christopher Rufo and further investigated by the Washington Free Beacon. The situation has prompted concern about the procedures followed by the Harvard Corporation and Dr. Gay’s role, particularly since she has previously faced criticism over her responses to campus antisemitism and events in Israel and Gaza. Dr. Gay, who has been Harvard’s president since 2006, defends the integrity of her work.
