Timeline: Plagiarism allegations against Claudine Gay
Plagiarism is a serious offense in academia, with severe penalties including resignation, as exemplified by the University of South Carolina’s president in 2021. Plagiarism can range from improper citation to claiming others’ research as one’s own, with individual institutions creating their own policies for dealing with allegations. In response to such claims, Claudine Gay, the subject of the accusations, defended her academic record in an op-ed, stating she addressed any attribution issues promptly and never misrepresented her research findings or claimed others’ work as her own. The precise nature and scope of the allegations against Gay are not detailed in the text.
