Looks like Harvard's president Claudine Gay is under fire for plagiarism:

from the article " In four papers published between 1993 and 2017, including her doctoral dissertation, Gay, a political scientist, paraphrased or quoted nearly 20 authors—including two of her colleagues in Harvard University’s department of government—without proper attribution, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis...(which) worked with nearly a dozen scholars to analyze 29 potential cases of plagiarism. Most of them said that Gay had violated a core principle of academic integrity as well as Harvard’s own anti-plagiarism policies...in at least 10 instances, Gay lifted full sentences—even entire paragraphs—with just a word or two tweaked."

This is a more balanced view than the allegations coming from Christopher Rufo/Free Beacon.  Troubling to me is that her defenders cite her scholarly reputation and character without actually refuting the details in the allegations.  This probably does warrant an investigation similar to Stanford's of MTL.  This is a separate matter from the latest controversies regarding her Congressional testimony--which the Harvard Board seems to have set aside this morning.

Update:

The corporation addressed allegations of plagiarism against Gay, saying that Harvard became aware of them in late October regarding three articles she had written. It initiated an independent review at Gay’s request.
The corporation reviewed the results on Saturday, “which revealed a few instances of inadequate citation” and found no violation of Harvard’s standards for research misconduct, it said. Gay is proactively requesting four corrections in two articles to insert citations and quotation marks that were omitted from the original publications, the statement said.

But nothing about her dissertation.
