Plagiarism probe finds some problems with former Harvard president Claudine Gay's work https://t.co/7ISHvBP9rT

BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University has shed fresh light on the ongoing investigation into plagiarism accusations against former president Claudine Gay, including that an independent body recommended a broader review after substantiating some of the complaints.
In a letter Friday to a congressional committee, Harvard said it learned of the plagiarism allegations against its first Black female president on Oct. 24 from a New York Post reporter. The school reached out to several authors whom Gay is accused of plagiarizing and none objected to her language, it said.
Harvard then appointed the independent body, which focused on two of Gay’s articles published in 2012 and 2017. It concluded they “are both sophisticated and original,” and found “virtually no evidence of intentional claiming of findings” that were not her own.
Harvard now admitting that its whole defense of Claudine Gay was bogus. Whoops! https://t.co/xmu29KKlar

Minimally.
Would you look at that! AP went all racist white supremacy talking points! I thought plagiarism was only bad if you weren’t Claudine Gay? 🤔 https://t.co/IYCtraDxjp

That was so mean of them.
Correct Headline: Claudine Gay plagiarized and failed out of the easiest job in the world.

An accurate distillation of this whole affair. Look at that!
I was going to slam this soft headline, but at least you didn’t blame conservatives this time. pic.twitter.com/CirhJlE9Ti
