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.

Time for Claudine to fill out the job application at Waffle House.
Ms. Gay could molest 5 year old girls and ‘Harvard’ wouldn’t object. I mean she DOES have black skin and that’s a pass to idiots who didn’t deserve their positions either.
And this is why Gay will never be fired. Harvard would have to admit to all of this, and admit the Chris Rufo broke the story.
She's a horribl person - zero pride in being respected. But it works for Harvard and it can work for two former newspapers.
The New York Times and Washington Post would do better hiring 'Harvard' style black women. Why? Because they could steal other writers work, pass it off as their own - and save those papers money having to compete to hire the best and brightest. Besides, both papers have sold out their integrity so hiring plagiarists shouldn't make any difference to their 'standing'.
The NAACP did use the race card for this garbage “professor “...
