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.”***

There has to be hundreds like her. I hope they all get exposed.
Hey! Plagiarism is an old and honored tradition at Hahvud, going back the Kennedys and beyond. Don’t knock it.
The world needs more sunlight. Expose the frauds, crooks amd pervs.
He said "they're second-rate scholars, so they have to plagiarize."
Sorry, I don't remember which "public intellectual" I was watching. Oh well.

Exactly. The whole grievance studies complex is a giant scam. DEI produced 10000s of high paying jobs in academia and corporations filled with CRT spouting dopes. I hope there is a purge of these parasites too.
“He said “they’re second-rate scholars, so they have to plagiarize.””
From my experience in a certain branch of “academia”, this is a sure bet, especially among a favored subset with high-DEI attributes. And they are absolutely untouchable, regularly failing upward to cover for those who won’t deal with unsuitable performance.
Harvard now has grad courses in “Wakanda, First on the Moon”, and “The Round Earth is an Ultra Right-Wing Conspiracy.”
It will be interesting to watch this play out now that the hounds have picked up the scent.
Lock and load folks. This may be a target rich environment.
But......But.....If the diversity chief plagiarizes in a wide and diverse manner, isn’t this type of diversity celebrated by the woke wackos?
I heard a former CIA/NSA data analyst say that there is nobody on the planet more focused on data analysis that Wall Street short sellers. These DEI wizards decided to attack Bill Ackman’s wife . . . . .
perhaps some popcorn and a betting pool on who’s next and what “top” university they are from.
I always knew people who graduated from harvard were stupid idiots. It’s “academic” inbreeding.
Another angry black lady - this one not on a diet.
Believe me this is just the beginning. It is now very easy to catch plagiarist with new software. Phd cheating is widespread. The prize of bringing these phonies down is just too sweet.
They'll just pay dissertation mills to write their theses for them.
I hope you're right, though.
Plagiarism is academic looting and we know that (some of) her people have a strange penchant for looting. Ergo, by plagiarizing, she is celebrating her people.
Academia seems to have found a way to winnow out the frauds. It should have been doing this from the first.
Still sounds like FELONY FRAUD for all of them to me.
