Harvard's school newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, reported that Harvard University President Claudine Gay would request three revisions to her 1997 Ph.D.**.
After her recent testimony before Congress about campus anti-Semitism, Gay faced calls for resignation. In her testimony, she failed to unequivocally confirm that calling for genocide of Jews violated Harvard's code of conduct. These calls were further exacerbated by her accusations of plagiarism of Dr.** after the testimony was released.
The correction request follows a congressional investigation led by Rep. Virginia Fox, Republican of North Carolina, chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee.
Rep. Fox sent a letter to Penny Pritzker, a senior fellow at the school's governing body, on Wednesday threatening to withdraw federal funding and asking the school to provide internal documents related to Gaye's plagiarism allegations.
Despite the plagiarism allegations, the school has not officially condemned Guy's actions. In a Dec. 12 statement, Harvard admitted "several examples of undercipting" and that none of them violated its plagiarism rules, it said.
Guy denied plagiarizing academic material, saying earlier this month, "I stand by my academic integrity." ”
Carol Swain, a legal scholar who claims to have been plagiarized by Guy, told the National Service Desk last week that the school defended Guy in order not to undermine their efforts on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Harvard's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
