Two more research misconduct scandals hit Harvard

Two new research misconduct allegations lodged against Harvard University scholars have been brought to light recently, bringing the total number of academic scandals the premiere Ivy League institution is grappling with to four over the span of just two months.

These latest allegations, which made headlines in recent weeks, implicate a top Harvard University neuroscientist and various researchers at the Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

They came on the heels of a lengthy and detailed complaint of alleged plagiarism filed against Harvard University’s Diversity and Inclusion Officer Sherri Ann Charleston.

They also came after former Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned in early January amid numerous plagiarism accusations.
