"Harvard's Response to Plagiarism Allegations: Rigorous Review and Defense"

Harvard University submitted an eight-page summary to Congress detailing its rigorous review process of plagiarism allegations against former president Claudine Gay, ultimately determining that her conduct did not constitute research misconduct. The summary aimed to address concerns about transparency and process, following allegations of plagiarism made against Gay. The university's review process included appointing an independent panel and using a software program to locate potentially duplicative language in Gay's work. Harvard also clarified that it would not be involved in handling further allegations of misconduct against Gay, as she is no longer president.
