Harvard President's Plagiarism Controversy Sparks Doubts and Demands for Transparency

TL;DR Summary
CNN's Jake Tapper questions whether Harvard University is applying a double standard on plagiarism after new allegations surface against President Claudine Gay regarding work she submitted in the 1990s. While Harvard's investigation found "inadequate citations" but no violations, examples of plagiarism were found in Gay's 1997 dissertation and a 1993 essay. Critics argue that the university's swift review and potential different treatment for students raise concerns about fairness and legal implications. Harvard and Gay have not responded to the allegations.
