Is every damn communist a plagiarist like Claudine Gay or Joe Biden?
Fresh plagiarism allegations have been unearthed in an official academic complaint against embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay.
Harvard University’ Research Integrity Office received a complaint on this week submitting over 40 allegations of plagiarism against Gay, according to a document obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The new allegations include examples recently reported in the media, as well as “dozens of additional cases in which Gay quoted or paraphrased authors without proper attribution,” the outlet reported.
These plagiarism allegations, which reportedly range from missing quotation marks around phrases or sentences to entire paragraphs taken verbatim, were submitted to Harvard’s research integrity officer, Stacey Springs.
While the Harvard Corporation, the school’s governing body, said earlier this month that it initiated an independent review of Gay’s work in October and found “no violation of Harvard’s standards for research misconduct,” that investigation had only focused on three papers.
“It is impossible that your office has already reviewed the entirety of these materials,” the complaint reads, noting that “many” allegations “have not been previously reported or submitted.”
Harvard’s official policy states that all allegations of faculty plagiarism must be reviewed by the school’s research integrity officer, and that if the allegations are deemed credible, they must be sent for a further probe. Any faculty member found guilty of plagiarism can end up suspended, having their rank reduced, or even terminated.
