Harvard University president Claudine Gay accused of 40 acts of plagiarism in new complaint
The New York Post ^ | 12/20/2023 | Megan Palin

Harvard University’s embattled President Claudine Gay is the subject of a fresh complaint outlining more than 40 allegations of her plagiarizing others’ works.

The 37-page document compiles dozens of cases where Gay, a political scientist, allegedly quoted or paraphrased authors without proper attribution in her academic works, going against the Ivy League school’s strict rules, according to the document, which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. ***

Carol Swain, a former political science professor at Vanderbilt University, said Gay copied sections of her 1993 book, “Black Faces, Black Interests: The Representation of African Americans in Congress,” as well as an article published in 1997 titled, “Women and Blacks in Congress: 1870-1996.”

She added in an essay for the Wall Street Journal: “Ms. Gay had no problem riding on the coattails of people whose work she used without proper attribution. Many of those whose work she pilfered aren’t as incensed as I am. They are elites who have benefited from a system that protects its own.”

In the aftermath of the allegations, The Post revealed how Harvard covered up a weeks-long investigation into whether Gay had used other researchers’ work without crediting it and hired a bulldog law firm to help cover it up.

The outlet reports it independently verified the veracity of the allegations along with the identity of the author — a respected professor at another university, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation.

“[I]t is impossible that your office has already reviewed the entirety of these materials, as many … have not been previously reported or submitted,” the complaint, which was filed with Harvard on Tuesday, reads.

Plagiarism is a slightly more cerebral form of looting. Claudine Gay is just keeping it real.

Claudine can’t think well.

There’s your hard truth.

This is what happens when you hire because of diversity instead of hiring the most qualified.

WOW!
Harvard has both antisemitism and an intellectual thief at the top

used to be, colleges believed their mission included providing moral instruction or guidance for their students

ha ha! how far the mighty have fallen!
(tragic, of course, but ha ha anyway!)
send your kids to a college where they’ll get a good education, not Harvard!!!)

Has she pulled the race card yet? And let me guess - she’s lesbian? So I assume she will pull that card. Oh yes! And the gender card.

Apparently not, because it’s not difficult to take someone elses paragraph or whatever and re-order and re-state the same ideas in your own words. How else did generations of kids before AI get their term papers done?

A little /s - but not much!

Good grief. Most (close to all) of the DEI crap comes from the Obamaholes of the “scholars”. They are so stupid that they cannot even make new crap up? Oh well, at least there are positions for such losers...Harvard President for one.

Remember when Cadillac was classy? Remember when Cadillac turned into a Chevy with a different POS emblem on the hood?
Harvard - Welcome to GMville. Hope you suffer the same fate.

Hey, African Americans, all you have to do is cut and paste. Why bother yourself with actual hard work and rigorous intellectual effort? No one is expecting it from you, and no one will hold you to account.

That is our lesson for today...

Is Joe Biden too old to try to beat Gay’s record?
Just curious.

It’s more like a form of academic reparations.

Methinks they are doing a real disservice to the black community by allowing this skin color over qualifications attitude to continue unchecked.
