House widens Harvard investigation to include allegations of plagiarism against Gay

The House Committee on Education and the Workforce announced an expansion of the investigation into Harvard University to include allegations of plagiarism against the school’s president.

The move comes a day after Harvard received a 37-page complaint detailing more than 40 possible instances of plagiarism committed by Harvard President Claudine Gay. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) sent a four-page letter to Penny Pritzker, senior fellow of the school’s highest governing body, asking for additional information by Dec. 29.

“Our concern is that standards are not being applied consistently, resulting in different rules for different members of the academic community,” Foxx wrote, per a Bloomberg report. “If a university is willing to look the other way and not hold faculty accountable for engaging in academically dishonest behavior, it cheapens its mission and the value of its education.”
