Harvard’s diversity chief hit with 40 plagiarism accusations in wake of Claudine Gay scandal: report
The New York Post ^ | 01/30/2024 | Emily Crane

Harvard University’s chief diversity and inclusion officer has been hit with dozens of plagiarism allegations tied to her academic work — including one claim she failed to properly cite her own husband’s study.

The Ivy League school was handed an anonymous complaint on Monday listing at least 40 examples of alleged plagiarism by Sherri Ann Charleston dating back to 2009 — a decade before she joined Harvard, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

The allegations, which include failing to properly cite other scholars’ work and not referencing them in footnotes, come just weeks after Harvard University president Claudine Gay resigned from her top post after becoming embroiled in a scandal over charges that she plagiarized work and her handling of antisemitism on campus.

According to the Beacon, which conducted its own analysis of the complaint, Charleston allegedly quoted or paraphrased a dozen scholars without adequate attribution in her 2009 dissertation at the University of Michigan.

The complaint also alleges Charleston ultimately took credit for a study that her husband, LaVar Charleston — currently the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s deputy vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion — wrote in 2012.

That alleged instance of plagiarism came after Charleston rehashed large portions of her husband’s paper in a peer-reviewed article they co-authored in 2014, according to the complaint.

The 2014 article, published in the Journal of Negro Education, had the same findings, method and survey subject descriptions included in Charleston’s husband’s original paper, the complaint charges.

“You cannot just republish an old paper as if it is a new paper,” Lee Jussim, a social psychologist at Rutgers University, told the outlet. “If you do, that is not exactly plagiarism; it’s more like fraud.”***

It will be interesting to watch this play out now that the hounds have picked up the scent.

All because Claudine Gay couldn't answer a simple question.

So Harvard students who don't major in woke studies can now major in plagiarism.

Definition of "reputation" via Google:

"The opinion that people in general have about someone or something, or how much respect or admiration someone or something receives, based on past behavior or character."

This is a repeat of a previous post:

But given the importance of this issue, that may be OK!

This is not only about Harvard, but also the University of Michigan.

And I expect we shall soon be heating a lot about plagiarism at MIT, given the scrutiny that Ackman is applying to the Institute.

Dr. King plagiarized his dissertation and nobody says boo about him, especially during history month.

But let a couple of women lift a few pages here and there and the roof falls in on them.

Double standard it looks like.

Apropos of nothing in particular ...

LOBACHEVSKY
-Tom Lehrer

Who made me the genius I am today
The mathematician that others all quote
Who’s the professor that made me that way?
The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat
One man deserves the credit
One man deserves the blame
And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Hi!
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach—
I am never forget the day
I first meet the great Lobachevsky
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics:
Plagiarize
Plagiarize
Let no one else’s work evade your eyes
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes
So don’t shade your eyes
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize
Only be sure always to call it please ‘research’
And ever since I meet this man
My life is not the same
And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Hi!
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach—
I am never forget the day
I am given first original paper to write
It was on analytic and algebraic topology of locally Euclidean parameterization of infinitely differentiable Riemannian manifold, Bozhe moi!
This I know from nothing
What I’m going to do
I think of great Lobachevsky and get idea - ha-ha-a!
I have a friend in Minsk
Who has a friend in Pinsk
Whose friend in Omsk
Has friend in Tomsk
With friend in Akmolinsk
His friend in Alexandrovsk
Has friend in Petropavlovsk
Whose friend somehow is solving now
The problem in Dnepropetrovsk
And when his work is done
Ha-ha! - begins the fun
From Dnepropetrovsk to Petropavlovsk
By way of Iliysk and Novorossiysk
To Alexandrovsk to Akmolinsk
To Tomsk to Omsk to Pinsk to Minsk
To me the news will run
Yes, to me the news will run!
And then I write
By morning, night
And afternoon
And pretty soon
My name in Dnepropetrovsk is cursed
When he finds out I publish first!
And who made me a big success
And brought me wealth and fame?
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Hi!
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach—
I am never forget the day
My first book is published
Every chapter I stole from somewhere else
Index I copy from old Vladivostok telephone directory
This book was sensational!
Pravda - well, Pravda - Pravda said: (Russian double-talk)
It stinks
But Izvestia! Izvestia said: (Russian double-talk)
It stinks
Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva buys movie rights for six million rubles
Changing title to The Eternal Triangle
With Brigitte Bardot playing part of hypotenuse
And who deserves the credit?
And who deserves the blame?
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Hi!

Find a recording ... Prof. Lehrer’s “Russian accent” is epic.

RE: Wakanda, First on the Moon. LOL

Someone sent me a link once to the Old Negro Space Program history documentary satire. Hilarious.

In one scene the genuine black moon landing astronaut landed his modified Cadillac DeVille just past where the later NASA white landing would be later. His landing was moved down to a minor place in the newspaper reports.

The only Kennedy I aware of who plagiarized was Teddy. And he cheated in Law School I think, or was it College?
