Harvard’s president, Dr. Claudine Homosexual, is accused of lifting phrases, phrases and sentences from different sources with out correct attribution. Most, if not all, of the examples under are written in technical and educational jargon, not meant to convey sweeping or authentic concepts.
However her papers typically raise passages verbatim from different students and at different instances make minor changes, like altering the phrase “adage” to “popular saying” or “Black male children” to “young black athletes.”
Listed below are 5 examples of Dr. Homosexual’s work which can be beneath scrutiny, evaluating her writing with that of the students listed.
Jennifer L. Hochschild

David Covin
One other allegation cites language from a 1993 paper that Dr. Homosexual printed within the journal Origins. The paper, “Between Black and White: The Complexity of Brazilian Race Relations,” was written whereas she was a graduate scholar at Harvard and analyzes the function of race in Brazilian society.
In a single prolonged part, Dr. Homosexual discusses the formation of a coalition referred to as the Unified Motion Towards Racial Discrimination.
She describes the “expulsion of four young black athletes from the volleyball team of the Tiete Yacht Club because of their color.”
Three years earlier, David Covin, then a professor at California State College, Sacramento, wrote about “the dismissal of four Black male children from the volleyball team of the Tiete Yacht Club in May, 1978, because of their color.” His paper, “Afrocentricity in O Movimento Negro Unificado,” appeared within the Journal of Black Research.
Dr. Homosexual’s paper doesn’t attribute the passage concerning the athletes to Dr. Covin, who died this yr, nor to a supply whom Dr. Covin credited in his paper. Dr. Covin’s title doesn’t seem within the recommended additional studying on the finish of the paper.
In a press release Wednesday, Harvard stated: “While Gay’s 1993 work in Origins journal was initially included in the scope of the independent review, the independent panel and the subcommittee of the Corporation considered the article outside its purview due to the age of the article and because articles included in that journal generally do not include citations or quotations.”
George Reid Andrews
Dr. Homosexual can be accused of copying language, with slight modifications, in her paper “Between Black and White” from a 1992 paper “Black Political Protest in São Paulo, 1888-1988” by the historical past professor George Reid Andrews within the Journal of Latin American Research.
The Andrews paper says that the “rhetoric and aspirations” of a youthful technology of Afro-Brazilians with “one or more years of university study” appeared faraway from these of poor slum dwellers. Dr. Homosexual’s paper makes use of the phrase “aspirations and rhetoric,” reversing the order of these phrases, and refers to a number of years of “university education” slightly than “university study.”
Her article doesn’t credit score Dr. Andrews, a professor on the College of Pittsburgh, however lists a e-book by him as recommended additional studying.

Dr. Homosexual’s 2017 paper “A Room for One’s Own? The Partisan Allocation of Affordable Housing,” in City Affairs Evaluate, additionally comprises similarities from a passage in Stephen Ansolabehere and James M.

Dr. Ansolabehere and Dr. Snyder write: “Theoretical arguments predict an interaction between partisanship of voters and party control of state government. Democratic counties are expected to receive more transfers when the state is under Democratic control …”
Dr. Homosexual writes: “Theory predicts an interaction between county partisanship and party control, such that the more Democratic a county, the more LIHTC allocations it should receive when the state is under Democratic control …”
Dr. Homosexual cites Dr. Ansolabehere and Dr. Snyder, each at M.I.T. on the time and now professors at Harvard, however not on this specific passage.
Thomas E. Skidmore
Critics have additionally pointed to similarities in Dr. Homosexual’s “Between Black and White” and the paper “Toward a Comparative Analysis of Race Relations Since Abolition in Brazil and the United States,” written 21 years earlier by Thomas E. Skidmore within the Journal of Latin American Research.
Dr. Skidmore: “The Brazilian adage that ‘we are becoming one people’ rests on an implicit assumption that this final amalgam will be, at worst, a light mulatto phenotype and at best a moorish Mediterranean physical type. The ideal of whitening differs so categorically from white European and North American phobias about race mixture …”
Dr. Homosexual: “The Brazilian concept of ‘whitening,’ symbolized in the popular saying ‘we are becoming one people,’ represents an ideology entirely different from white European and North American phobias about race mixture prevalent at the turn of this century.”
