Harvard submits plagiarism investigation documents to Congress
New York (CNN) — Harvard University submitted a trove of documents on Friday to House lawmakers investigating the plagiarism scandal surrounding former President Claudine Gay.
Posted — UpdatedNick Barley, a spokesperson for the House Education and Workforce Committee, told CNN that lawmakers are “currently reviewing” documents related to the plagiarism investigation Harvard sent ahead of a 5 pm ET deadline.
Last month, Rep. Virginia Foxx, the Republican chair of the committee, wrote a letter to Penny Pritzker, the senior fellow of the powerful Harvard Corporation, the university’s top governing board, demanding information on Harvard’s response to “credible allegations of plagiarism” by Gay over a 24-year period.
Gay stepped down earlier this month, ending the shortest presidency in Harvard’s nearly 400-year-history.
The Harvard Crimson previously reported that the university submitted documents to the committee on Friday.
