Harvard's presidential selection committee is facing scrutiny after allegedly brushing over Gay's plagiarized work and selected her as its president based on her administrative background.
The Harvard presidential search team did not conduct a thorough review of embattled Claudine Gay’s scholarship before they handed her the plum role -- which resulted in her beating out candidates with “far more extensive” academic work under their belts.
The Harvard Corporation reportedly favored former Harvard President Claudine Gay over two internal candidates who both had administrative experience and far more extensive scholarship credentials. The Ivy League institution reportedly failed to conduct even a basic review of DEI candidate Gay's academic work.
