I read the Free Press to escape from biased reporting. On this issue, I also read an article in Harvard's student paper that questioned the extent of Gay's plagiarism and asked where the line is drawn. What is plagiarism? Is it false attribution, is it failing to use quotation marks, something else? What did she actually do? She should be held to the highest standard, but what is this standard, where is it reported and what are the facts to support the charges? I'd like to see the facts.
I appreciate your wanting it. We have to try hard these days to find facts instead of opinions. I hope Gay will be removed as a faculty member at Harvard. There are so many earnest, hard-working academics who deserve her position and salary.

Simone, the claims of plagiarism are well substantiated. The Crimson and Harvard's Board tried to deny them until they couldn't. Please note that some current Harvard students protested her presidency, correctly stating that they would have been expelled for committing such intellectual dishonesty. Gay is a fraud and has been for years, feeding off other academics, many of whom are African-American. Here is the MLA's definition of plagiarism: https://style.mla.org/plagiarism-and-academic-dishonesty/#:~:text=Copying%20a%20published%20or%20unpublished,giving%20proper%20credit%20is%20plagiarism. Here is a link to the current list of Gay's egregious intellectual theft so you may see it for yourself. This link comes from the FP article, so their reporting is factual, not biased, although perhaps they should be clearer by labeling the sources you have to click on "source." https://freebeacon.com/campus/harvard-president-claudine-gay-hit-with-six-new-charges-of-plagiarism/ Finally, this link shows a long list in yellow of lifted passages with the authors plagiarized mentioned below: https://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Complaint2.pdf

Thank you for giving me this information.
