The Harvard Plan: Part Two

Reporter Ilya Marritz, in part two of this collaboration with WNYC’s On The Media and The Boston Globe, examines how Harvard’s first Black president Claudine Gay is accused of academic plagiarism, just days after giving testimony to Congress. The drip-drip of new allegations keeps the story in the headlines. It also reinforces critics’ allegation that Gay is a “diversity hire,” unworthy of the job. We hear from two of the writers who broke that news, and from a defender of Harvard’s diversity efforts.
