Harvard President Claudine Gay Faces Plagiarism Allegations

Despite Controversy, University's Governing Body Backs Gay Amid Mixed Student Reactions

Harvard President Claudine Gay is facing allegations of plagiarism in her academic works, including her 1997 Harvard dissertation.
Despite the allegations, the Harvard Corporation, the University’s highest governing body, has publicly backed Gay and initiated an independent review of her work.
Students at Harvard have mixed views on the allegations, with some calling for her resignation while others believe the issue has been overstated.
Gay has maintained the integrity of her academic work and plans to correct a few instances of inadequate citation across two published articles.
Critics argue that Gay should be held to the same academic integrity standards as students and faculty, and some have called for her resignation.
