Harvard University submitted a trove of documents on Friday to House lawmakers investigating the plagiarism scandal surrounding former President Claudine Gay. Nick 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. She was Harvard’s first Black president and second woman to run the university. The Harvard Crimson previously reported that the university submitted documents to the committee on Friday. Gay’s short tenure was ultimately undone by criticism of the university’s response to rising antisemitism on campus in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks on Israel – and her disastrous congressional hearing a month ago in which she and other university presidents failed to explicitly say calls for genocide of Jewish people constituted bullying and harassment on campus.
