A leading conservative who led the charge to get former Harvard President Claudine Gay fired is now challenging her New York Times essay to claim she lied about ‘promptly’ requesting corrections of plagiarized work.
Gay, 53, resigned on Tuesday – after just six months in the role – and spoke for the first time since her ouster in a New York Times op-ed claiming her dismissal over plagiarism and anti-Semitism scandals was actually the result of a racist campaign.
Now, conservative activist Christopher Rufo, who first publicly raised allegations of plagiarism in her work, is challenging her op-ed saying, ‘Claudine Gay is lying in the New York Times. She did not “promptly [request] corrections.”‘
Claudine Gay is lying in the New York Times. She did not "promptly [request] corrections." She denied the allegations, intimidated the New York Post into silence, and then corrected them only under duress. There are still dozens of uncorrected instances of plagiarism. pic.twitter.com/JFTv5eIiyU
