Harvard President Claudine Gay Faces Plagiarism Probe and Calls for Firing

Harvard President Claudine Gay will request three additional corrections to her 1997 Ph.D. dissertation as part of ongoing updates following allegations of plagiarism. The Harvard Corporation, the university's highest governing body, conducted a review and found evidence of improper citations but concluded that Gay's actions did not amount to research misconduct. This marks another setback for Gay, who has faced criticism over her handling of various issues during her first semester in office. The review also addressed an anonymous complaint with new allegations of plagiarism, which the Corporation subcommittee deemed to be without merit.
