On the heels of the University of Pennsylvania’s board of trustees resigning after a disastrous hearing before the House, Harvard’s president is now facing a second scandal.

Let’s see how things are at MIT…

It has now been discovered that Harvard President Claudine Gay may have plagiarized portions of her Ph.D. thesis.
EXCLUSIVE: @RealChrisBrunet and I have obtained documentation demonstrating that Harvard President Claudine Gay plagiarized multiple sections of her Ph.D. thesis, violating Harvard’s policies on academic integrity.
This is a bombshell.

Gay repeats this violation of Harvard’s policy throughout the document, again using work from Bobo and Gilliam, as well as passages from Richard Shingles, Susan Howell, and Deborah Fagan, which she reproduces nearly verbatim, without quotation marks. pic.twitter.com/K75YPeZwky
