Harvard’s governing board announced Tuesday it determined that the school’s embattled president, Claudine Gay, did not engage in “research misconduct.”
Gay was accused of plagiarizing after the conservative website The Washington Free Beacon published a story highlighting multiple instances where Gay’s writing in four academic articles matched up with other academic articles — some which were written by her former advisers. In some instances, no citation was inserted or quotation marks were not used.
T he review, led by what it called “distinguished political scientists” did not affirm these accusations. However, the board found “instances of inadequate citation” and announced that Gay would request “four corrections in two articles to insert citations and quotation marks that were omitted from the original publications,” according to a statement published by the board.
