"The Downfall of Harvard President Claudine Gay: Plagiarism Scandal to Resignation"

Claudine Gay, the outgoing Harvard president, has been accused of lying about her response to plagiarism allegations in her published work. Critics, including Christopher Rufo and US Rep. Elise Stefanik, refute her claims of promptly requesting corrections and suggest she only acted under pressure. Gay, who also faced criticism for her handling of antisemitic threats on campus, defended herself in a New York Times op-ed, attributing the backlash to racial stereotypes and political agendas. Despite journals receiving correction requests for her work, the controversy has led to her resignation, marking the shortest tenure for a Harvard president.
