Harvard University’s chief diversity and inclusion officer has been hit with dozens of plagiarism allegations tied to her academic work — including one claim she failed to properly cite her own husband’s study.
The Ivy League school was handed an anonymous complaint on Monday listing at least 40 examples of alleged plagiarism by Sherri Ann Charleston dating back to 2009 — a decade before she joined Harvard, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
The allegations, which include failing to properly cite other scholars’ work and not referencing them in footnotes, come just weeks after Harvard University president Claudine Gay resigned from her top post after becoming embroiled in a scandal over charges that she plagiarized work and her handling of antisemitism on campus.
According to the Beacon, which conducted its own analysis of the complaint, Charleston allegedly quoted or paraphrased a dozen scholars without adequate attribution in her 2009 dissertation at the University of Michigan.
The complaint also alleges Charleston ultimately took credit for a study that her husband, LaVar Charleston — currently the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s deputy vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion — wrote in 2012.
That alleged instance of plagiarism came after Charleston rehashed large portions of her husband’s paper in a peer-reviewed article they co-authored in 2014, according to the complaint.
The 2014 article, published in the Journal of Negro Education, had the same findings, method and survey subject descriptions included in Charleston’s husband’s original paper, the complaint charges.
“You cannot just republish an old paper as if it is a new paper,” Lee Jussim, a social psychologist at Rutgers University, told the outlet. “If you do, that is not exactly plagiarism; it’s more like fraud.”

“Can a cracka be a chief diversity and inclusion officer?”
LOL, they may not have a choice soon!
I think I’ve got the solution to this problem. Universities should just quit requiring work in order to get a degree.
no work required
= no need to plagiarize
= no more embarrassment
(I hope nobody steals my brilliant idea.)
Harvard’s diversity chief hit with 40 plagiarism accusations in wake of Claudine Gay scandal: report
Primary qualification is based on sufficient melanin content of their skin.. second is a bone deep absolute entitled attitude based on the aforementioned primary qualification. Third is a total lack of the ability or the desire to perform a critical analysis of the absurdity of their role. Fourth is the arrogance to push the DIE agenda with a straight face. Fourth most important is gender with female being more likely than male. Finally some some sort of shaky credentials garnered from affirmative action or as in many cases copying some other arrogant idiot’s manifesto of racial spoils.
If the IDIOTS at Harvard rolled Gay at the start, the fact that the rest of their DEI Bunch are just as bad wouldn’t be coming out now.
I have a letter in the mail to Harvard now telling them to mail my diploma asap.
Being a plagiarist tells the world how dumb and lazy you are. You are too dumb to form an original thought so you steal it from someone else and you are too lazy to even try to create your own work product.
What a school full of fakes
Dumb and lazy, yes. But also so saturated with hubris she was sure she was untouchable. Likely still thinks she will skate.
Oh the stories coming out about Hardy har har Harvard.
There are still fun news stories:)
....let me guess...! this “diversity chief” is of the African persuasion...!!?? and what fate will befall her...?? slap on the wrist?? hang her head in shame for a few days...? IMHO, this whole diversity thing is a fraud, a bunch of crap...
Black women, how did humanity accomplish anything before recognizing their superhuman abilities?
Will be transferred to a different DEI position making more money. At worst.
Announcing the Nobel prize for verbiage appropriation!
