Harvard president Claudine Gay is facing renewed pressure to relinquish her post atop the nation's most prestigious university as allegations of plagiarism mount.
Harvard's decision to support President Claudine Gay amid credible allegations of plagiarism is a departure from the institution's recent handling of such situations, which included harsh penalties for students who plagiarized their work.
The Harvard Corporation announced Tuesday that it reviewed allegations of plagiarism against university President Claudine Gay and concluded that she did not violate the university's academic research standards, although the university said it will issue corrections to two of Gay's publications that contained "inadequate citation."
