Overview

• Harvard University president Claudine Gay has been hit with six additional allegations of plagiarism, bringing the total near 50.
• Seven of Gay’s 17 published works have already been impacted by the scandal, and the new charges extend into an eighth.
• Harvard's governing board, the Harvard Corporation, previously found several cases of 'inadequate citation' in Gay’s work but did not identify any of the examples described in the new complaint.
• An increasing number of Harvard students are speaking out against Gay, arguing that she has been held to a lower standard than the average undergraduate.
• Some students have called on Gay to resign, and others seem reluctant to defend their embattled president.
