Harvard President Claudine Gay issued two corrections to articles following accusations of plagiarism, The Harvard Crimson reported on Friday.
Several sources accused Gay of plagiarism following testimony in front of Congress on Dec. 5 that led to calls for her to resign. The corrections involved “quotation marks and citations” referencing three articles that Gay is accused of plagiarizing, a spokesperson for Harvard told the Crimson
Gay corrected a 2017 article called “A Room for One’s Own? The Partisan Allocation of Affordable Housing” and a 2001 article called “The Effect of Black Congressional Representation on Political Participation,” according to the Crimson. Gay is accused of plagiarizing a multitude of academic papers, including her Ph.D. thesis. Gay is accused of copying whole paragraphs and almost 20 authors without adequate citations during her academic career.
Harvard’s student newspaper also reviewed Gay’s academic works and found that some of her papers might have violated Harvard’s academic integrity policies.
The Harvard Corporation, the highest of the two governing boards at the university, put out a statement in support of Gay following a meeting of the Corporation Monday and also admitted that the university had known of plagiarism allegations against Gay since October.
“With regard to President Gay’s academic writings, the University became aware in late October of allegations regarding three articles. At President Gay’s request, the Fellows promptly initiated an independent review by distinguished political scientists and conducted a review of her published work,” the Corporation wrote in a statement.
Gay, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth refused to say whether calls for genocide against Jews violated the schools’ codes of conduct when giving testimony in front of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on Dec. 5. Gay and Magill both reversed course on their comments, and Magill resigned on Dec. 9.
Harvard and Gay did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as "infanticide." They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a "gender transition" that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America's economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as "violent extremists," "domestic terrorists," "white supremacists" and "insurrectionists." Indeed, they're currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden's chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes "politics" in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, "CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world's freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction."
In this very special issue, readers will experience the best and deepest thoughts and strategies on how to restore America to her former goodness and greatness, from some of the nation's most respected analysts – everyone from Tucker Carlson to Dennis Prager to Victor Davis Hanson to Newt Gingrich and many more.
