Harvard president Claudine Gay corrects two articles from 2001 and 2007 after allegations of plagiarism surfaced and she survived calls for her firing after disastrous Congressional testimony

Harvard's president has submitted two corrections to articles accusing her of plagiarism, adding “quotes and citations,” the university spokesman said.

Claudine Gay, who has been in the spotlight since October 7 – primarily for her slow response to Hamas terror attacks and the defense of Hamas by some of her students; then for her disastrous performance before Congress on December 5. Days later, she was accused of plagiarism, adding to calls for her ouster.

In a Substack post, investigative journalist Christopher Rufo reported that Gay had plagiarized parts of four works over 24 years, including her 1997 dissertation and a series of articles.

The university investigated the plagiarism allegations and said Friday that corrections had been made.

The corrections were made to a 2017 article titled “A Space for Yourself?” The Partisan Allocation of Affordable Housing,” in the Urban Affairs Review.

A 2001 article titled “The Effect of Black Congressional Representation on Political Participation” in the American Political Science Review was also amended.

Jonathan Swain, a university spokesman, did not comment on the other articles Rufo found.

Harvard launched an investigation in October into claims that Gay plagiarized some of her academic work — months before the allegations emerged publicly, the Ivy League has revealed.

The university's administration issued a statement Tuesday announcing that Gay will remain in her post despite calls for her resignation following her disastrous congressional testimony about anti-Semitism on campus and allegations of plagiarism.

The Executive Board says: 'The university became aware of allegations about three articles at the end of October. At President Gay's request, the Fellows immediately initiated an independent review by leading political scientists and conducted a review of her published work.

“On December 9, the Fellows reviewed the results, which identified some cases of inadequate citation. Although the analysis found no violation of Harvard's standards on research misconduct, President Gay is proactively requesting four corrections in two articles to insert quotations and quotation marks that were omitted from the original publications.”

While the administration says they found no violation of school policy in Gay's work, The Harvard Crimson, which reviewed the examples of alleged plagiarism, found a different conclusion.

The school's newspaper wrote that some of Gay's writings “appear to violate Harvard's current policies around plagiarism and academic integrity.”

It comes after the Washington Free Beacon and right-wing bloggers Rufo and Christopher Brunet alleged that Gay plagiarized parts of four academic works, including her Ph.D. dissertation at Harvard, entitled 'Taking Charge: Black Electoral Success and the Redefinition of American Politics.'

Billionaire Bill Ackman amplified the allegations as part of his campaign to oust Gay from the top job at his alma mater.

Gay defended her work to The Boston Globe: “I stand behind the integrity of my scholarship. Throughout my career, I have ensured that my scholarship meets the highest academic standards.”

While the bloggers focused their claims on Gay's dissertation, The Free Beacon also looked at three other works by the scientist: a 1993 essay in the publication Origins and two articles from 2012 and 2017, when Gay was already a professor at Harvard.

While some of the Free Beacon's claims contain minor citation issues, the Crimson said others are “more substantial, including some paragraphs and sentences that are virtually identical to other work and contain no citations.”

D. Stephen Voss, who now teaches at the University of Kentucky, told The Crimson that while Gay is “technically plagiarizing,” it is “from minor to insignificant.”

The student publication notes Harvard's rule on what constitutes plagiarism, saying that when copying language “word for word,” scholars must “give credit to the author of the source material, either by placing the source material in quotation marks and providing a clear by citing the source, or by paraphrasing the source material and providing a clear source reference.'

It is unclear whether the same rules applied when Gay submitted her dissertation in 1997.

But Voss, who now teaches at the University of Kentucky, told The Crimson that while Gay “technically committed plagiarism,” it ranges from “minor to insignificant.”

He said, “This doesn't look sneaky at all… It seems like maybe she just had no idea what we normally tell students to do and not to do.”

Harvard professor Lawrence Lobo, one of those allegedly plagiarized by Gay, similarly told the Boston Globe, “I find myself unconcerned by these claims since our work is explicitly acknowledged.”
