Harvard covered up a secret plagiarism probe into president Claudine Gay during antisemitism storm ‐ threatened The Post

[NYP] Harvard University covered up a high-level investigation into whether its controversial president was a plagiarist — and used an expensive law firm to threaten The Post over our own probe.

The college announced Tuesday morning that it had investigated Claudine Gay over whether some of her academic work was plagiarized and had cleared her of breaching the college’s "standards for research misconduct."

Instead, it said that she would request four corrections in two publications to insert citations and quotation marks that were originally "omitted."

But The Post can disclose that Harvard spent weeks failing to come clean about Gay being under investigation — staying quiet even when she was hauled in front of Congress for disastrous testimony on how the Ivy League college is dealing with antisemitism on campus.

Harvard only disclosed the investigation when the university’s governing body, Harvard Corporation, said it unanimously stood behind her despite a firestorm of criticism for her evidence to Congress.

Harvard’s public statement on the allegations of plagiarism came a day after a conservative activist posted questions on X about citations in Gay’s 1997 PhD dissertation.

#1 ...Perhaps Harvard should consider changing its name to Patrice Lumumba University. Same attitude and style.

#2 This looks like a red on red engagement. It sounds like Harvard really really wanted her to be president.

#4 Reads like Harvard was trying to get rid of Gay for plagiarism prior to her remarks before Congress.

#6 Seems like anyone who was disciplined for plagiarism at Harvard will be making bank. Talk about deep pockets. This could make the Oberlin College payout look like walking around money.
