House Committee Expands Investigation into Harvard President's Plagiarism Allegations

Despite the ongoing investigation and numerous allegations, Harvard's governing board continues to support President Claudine Gay.

Harvard University's President Claudine Gay is under investigation by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce for allegations of plagiarism in her academic papers.
Harvard's governing board admitted they knew of some accusations against Gay since late October.
Gay is accused of plagiarizing seven of her papers, with the newest complaint listing 39 examples of plagiarism and more than 40 specific instances of her alleged plagiarism.
Harvard's Honor Council heard 138 cases of “academic integrity cases” during the 2020-2021 academic year and nearly 100 of them resulted in an “academic dishonesty violation.”
Despite the allegations, Harvard's top governing body has stood by Gay.
