Harvard President Claudine Gay’s resignation followed weeks of mounting accusations that she lifted language from other scholars in her doctoral dissertation and journal articles.
Dismissing the allegations because of who made them was always ad hominem. It’s also a pretty bad look to hold faculty and the president of the university to noticeably lower standards than the students.
I know a lot of higher ed humanities teachers at top 10 schools and students plagiarize all the time and usually the teachers don’t even report it to admin.

Was it ever proven that she plagiarized?
