Claudine Gay hand in hand with her husband Christoper Afendulis 19 Harvard president Christine Gay, last seen walking on campus with her husband, fellow professor Christopher Afendulis, is now facing a wide-ranging Congressional investigation into whether she copied other academics' work.
David McGlynn The gates of Harvard 19 Harvard's decision to secretly clear Claudine Gay of plagiarism without an investigation and call accusations against her "Defamatory" is revealed as the college faces a mounting crisis over its president.
Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Harvard alumna, told The Post: "Harvard University's pathetic record of stifling free speech has expanded beyond campus, threatening the New York Post following their investigation and coverage of Claudine Gay's history of serial plagiarism."This attempt at bullying and subsequent censorship is entirely unacceptable; the Congressional investigation will use every tool at our disposal including subpoena power to expose the rot of antisemitism plaguing higher education and the hypocrisy of the poisoned ivy towers of Harvard.
Harvard's lawyers told us it was "properly cited," but weeks later Harvard said she was asking to have it correct to add quote marks and citation.
19 Harvard included statements from academics which it said was "An extraordinary rebuke" of the idea that Gay could have committed plagiarism - putting the weight of the University of Chicago behind Harvard's push to suppress The Post.
Student including one wearing a Harvard sweater walking on campus 19 Harvard did not tell students, faculty, alumni or donors that Gay was under investigation.
Gay had to apologize for her disastrous testimony and on Dec. 7, Congress opened a formal investigation into antisemitism on campus at Harvard and other Ivy league colleges - and Gay faced mounting calls to quit after the University of Pennsylvania's president Liz Magill was ousted.
Gay issued her only statement on the storm to The Boston Globe on December 11 and said: "I stand by the integrity of my scholarship. Throughout my career, I have worked to ensure my scholarship adheres to the highest academic standards." On Dec. 12, after days of crisis, Harvard issued a long statement rejecting calls to fire Gay, saying the Corporation unanimously stood by her.
Even though it had found "a few instances of inadequate citation," it said "The analysis found no violation of Harvard's standards for research misconduct." And Gay was revealed to be correcting two of the instances of apparent plagiarism highlighted by The Post - which Harvard's attorneys had called "Both cited and properly credited" - because of "Inadequate citations." Dear Members of the Harvard Community, As members of the Harvard Corporation, we today reaffirm our support for President Gay's continued leadership of Harvard University.
Harvard's mission is advancing knowledge, research, and discovery that will help address deep societal issues and promote constructive discourse, and we are confident that President Gay will lead Harvard forward toward accomplishing this vital work.
A Nobel prize-winning economist and Harvard graduate, Vernon Smith, told blog Karlstack.com, "I see Gay as getting her post at Harvard because she was a diversity, equity and inclusion candidate, not on the basis of strong academic qualifications. She is a discredit to Harvard, and that is being revealed." Harvard's Swain declined to comment to The Post on a series of questions.
