Claudine Gay and my scholarship | Trending Viral hub

Harvard’s ruling fellows decided last week to endorse the president Claudina Gay despite his disastrous testimony before Congress and his multiple accusations of plagiarism. in a statementthey dismissed the latter as “a few instances of improper citation” that did not constitute “any violation of Harvard’s standards on research misconduct.”

I write as one of the academics whose work Ms. Gay plagiarized. He did not credit me for sections of my 1993 book, “Black Faces, Black Interests: The Representation of African Americans in Congress” and an article I published in 1997, “Women and Blacks in Congress: 1870-1996.” The damage for me extends beyond the two cases of plagiarism identified by the researchers.
