Harvard Makes Additional Troubling Findings as It Digs Into President’s Past: Report
As allegations of plagiarism swirl around Harvard president Claudine Gay, more fuel has been added to the fire.
Harvard said a review of Gay’s 1997 Ph.D. dissertation found additional examples of “duplicative language without appropriate attribution,” according to The Boston Globe.
“President Gay will update her dissertation correcting these instances of inadequate citation,” a summary of the report said.
Last week, Harvard’s governing board admitted there were “a few instances of inadequate citation” in two articles by Gay, but indicated the matter would be settled by Gay requesting corrections from the journals in which those articles were published.
The board issued a public endorsement of Gay amid the scandal and criticism of congressional testimony this month in which Gay refused to say whether calls for the genocide of Jews violated Harvard’s code of conduct.
