According to the Washington Free Beacon, the embattled woke president of Harvard, Claudine Gay, has "received a complaint outlining over 40 allegations of plagiarism" against her on Tuesday, and noted a letter that was sent to Harvard's research integrity officer, Stacey Springs, outlining the claims.
"The document paints a picture of a pattern of misconduct more extensive than has been previously reported and puts the Harvard Corporation, the university's governing body—which said it initiated an ‘independent review’ of Gay's scholarship and issued a statement of support for her leadership—back in the spotlight," Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium wrote.
The outlet reported that it "independently verified the veracity of the new allegations against Gay, as well as the identity of the complainant," who is a professor at another university who requested "anonymity for fear of retaliation." And retaliation is more than probable, it's almost guaranteed because that's how the woke work, [say that ten times].
The Harvard Corporation, the woke school's highest governing body, said it would stand with Gay, even with the backlash over her woke, anti-Semitic comments. and plagiarism allegations. but even they admitted that a probe found "instances of inadequate citation" in her academic writings.

Gay's doctoral dissertation and other papers published from 1993 to 2017 "paraphrased or quoted nearly 20 authors, all of whom were not Gay—including two of her colleagues in Harvard University’s department of government—without proper attribution," according to an analysis by the investigative news site.
The Free Beacon worked with academic scholars to analyze "29 potential cases of plagiarism," and it didn't look good for her. The general consensus was that "Doctor" Gay had violated the school's own policies regarding plagiarism by just changing a word here or there, and not providing credit to the actual authors of the pieces from which she allegedly plagiarized.
Chris Rufo of the Manhattan Institute and journalist Chris Brunet also published instances of what they pointed out that were instances of probable plagiarism of her Ph.D. dissertation that "violate Harvard’s own stated policies on academic integrity."
Fox News Digital reported "According to the Free Beacon, new allegations included 'dozens of additional cases in which Gay quoted or paraphrased authors without proper attribution' that were submitted to Harvard's research integrity officer," and adding that '[T]hey range from missing quotation marks around a few phrases or sentences to entire paragraphs lifted verbatim,' Sibarium wrote. 'The full list of examples spans seven of Gay's publications—two more than previously reported—which comprise almost half of her scholarly output.'"
The question many of us ask is whether Gay will be held to Harvard's standards that others must live up to?
