BREAKING NEWS – Cambridge, Massachusetts – Harvard President Claudine Gay is facing six new plagiarism charges in another development of an unfolding academic scandal that has rocked one of America’s most prestigious universities.
The new charges were first reported on by The Washington Free Beacon and included this claim: “In a 2001 article, Gay lifts nearly half a page of material verbatim from another scholar, David Canon, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin.” The total number of plagiarism allegations against Gay are near 50, or “half of Gay’s published works,” according to the Free Beacon.
Gay maintains that it was not plagiarism, because she said when she copied other people’s work, she pasted it in a different font.
