Controversy Surrounds Harvard President Claudine Gay Amid Plagiarism Allegations and Antisemitism Backlash

Harvard President Claudine Gay is facing new plagiarism allegations, with two additional instances of alleged plagiarism being brought to light. The allegations include the use of similar phrasing without proper citation and sharing language with a paper that was not directly quoted. These allegations come amidst a challenging week for Gay, who has faced calls to resign following controversial testimony in Congress. The Harvard Corporation has backed Gay while acknowledging instances of inadequate citation in her published work, but no violation of research misconduct standards. Gay has stood by the integrity of her scholarship, and corrections are being made to address the citation issues.
