Harvard Law Professor: ‘I Haven’t Seen Any Evidence that Claudine Gay Was Guilty of True Plagiarism’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: "They were very hurtful. I think that they certainly — they helped bring her down. But no, I don't — I have not seen any evidence that Claudine Gay was guilty of true plagiarism. She may have been guilty in the distant past of some sloppiness. That's probably the case. But not anything like the allegations are making her out to be. What has happened is that some relatively minor problems in her, you know, attributions, in her handling of things in the distant past, those things have been blown up to make it seem as though she has recently been engaged in academic misdoings. Again, this is part of a well-orchestrated, misleading smear of Claudine Gay and of Harvard University."
