[CityJournal] Harvard has a plagiarism problem. At the beginning of the year, Claudine Gay resigned as university president following a plagiarism scandal. Weeks later, the Washington Free Beacon published a report indicating that Harvard’s chief diversity officer, Sherri Ann Charleston, apparently plagiarized passages in multiple academic papers.

Now allegations have emerged that another Harvard DEI administrator, Shirley Greene, of Harvard Extension School, plagiarized more than 40 passages of her 2008 dissertation, "Converging Frameworks: Examining the Impact of Diversity-Related College Experiences on Racial/Ethnic Identity Development." According to the Harvard directory, Greene is a Title IX coordinator affiliated with the Office for Gender Equity. She has worked to advance "Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging," and hosted a panel on "The Past, Present, and Future of Juneteenth" in conjunction with the DEI department. (Harvard did not respond to an emailed request for comment.)

The Harvard Crimson previously reported on the allegations against Greene, which a whistleblower lodged anonymously. I have obtained the full complaint, which paints a much more damning indictment of Greene’s scholarship than the student newspaper had let on. Seen in its entirety, the complaint raises serious questions about Greene’s scholarship and academic integrity.

In the most serious instance, Greene lifts directly from Janelle Lee Woo’s 2004 dissertation, "Chinese American Female Identity." In two significant sections, Greene copied words, phrases, passages, and almost entire paragraphs verbatim, without proper attribution or quotation. She also copies most of an entire table on "Racial/Ethnic Identity Development Models," a foundational concept in the paper, without acknowledging the source.

#1 Why is it only the diversity folks are copying each others notes? Is there no original thought in the diversity profession???

#2 When it comes to "nuggets of wisdom," DEI is what's called a "played out claim."

#4 Harvard has remained resolutely silent on all these plagiarism. The Mafia could take lessons from them on "omerta."

There's not a whole lot to refine,
But the diggin' is easy
And speechmakin' breezy
Down under the bank.
