Harvard President Claudine Gay Faces Plagiarism Allegations and Calls for Resignation

Harvard President Claudine Gay is facing allegations of plagiarism after it was claimed that she plagiarized portions of four academic works over 24 years, including her 1997 Ph.D. dissertation at Harvard. Despite the support of the Harvard Corporation, Gay is under fire and has been called on to resign by alumni, donors, and members of Congress. The allegations of plagiarism come at a challenging time for Gay, who recently made controversial remarks at a congressional hearing on antisemitism. While an independent review found no violation of research misconduct standards, Gay is proactively requesting corrections to two articles to insert citations and quotation marks that were omitted. The plagiarism charges add to the scrutiny surrounding Gay's leadership and raise doubts about her fitness for the position.
