An anonymous letter reportedly sent to Harvard University this week alleges that the school’s DEI head committed multiple instances of plagiarism throughout her academic career, even plagiarizing from one of her husband’s academic works.

The letter, sent anonymously to Harvard, the University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin-Madison, alleged that chief diversity and inclusion officer Sherri Ann Charleston committed 40 instances of plagiarism over the years, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

The Free Beacon first reported on the complaint, describing the details of how Charleston allegedly committed these counts of plagiarism, including not properly attributing sources or quotes almost a dozen times in her 2009 dissertation at Michigan.

The Free Beacon added, "And in her sole peer-reviewed journal article — coauthored with her husband, LaVar Charleston, in 2014—the couple recycle much of a 2012 study published by LaVar Charleston, the deputy vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, framing the old material as new research."

The complaint noted that this article was also co-authored by Jerlando Jackson, who is currently the dean of Michigan State University’s College of Education. Apparently, it "has the same methods, findings, and description of survey subjects as the 2012 study, which involved interviews with black computer science students," the outlet wrote.

The Free Beacon’s investigative report provided text from both papers showing just how similar they were, with images showing major chunks of Charleston’s work practically ripped from her husband’s study.

"The two papers even report identical interview responses," the outlet added, which is one of the most problematic findings as it suggests that the co-authors did not conduct new interviews for the 2014 paper.

The Free Beacon noted that is "a severe breach of research ethics, according to experts who reviewed the allegations."

These experts told the outlet that Charleston, who used to teach gender studies courses at the University of Wisconsin, committed a "wide range of plagiaristic offenses, from minor plagiarism to possible data fraud and warrant an investigation."

Some even argued that Charleston committed a worse "scholarly sin" than former Harvard president Claudine Gay, who recently resigned from her role after she was accused of committing multiple counts of plagiarism throughout her own career and being at the center of the school’s recent antisemitism scandal.

Neither Harvard University nor the school’s Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging replied to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

It's funny how many skeletons are attached to these operatives of an evil enterprise...if you look you will find.

Pretty sure this DIE bitch is blaming it all on Gay. Lol.

Those are often the type that gravitate to applying for the DEI nonsense.

They obviously cannot perform in any other field, so DEI is their home.

RMD

Their egos get so big they think everyone is as stupid or uninformed as those they lord over in the academic bubble they live in.

A simple Google search can uncover much of this but until they invited the magnifying glass by making ill-advised public statements, nobody seemed to look or care.

Some might make a good case that she and her two fellow over credentialed bimbos helped raise awareness of the issue with their smug Congressional testimony.

We at least need to give her credit for that, even if unintentional.

Wait! Are you alleging that someone who taught “gender studies courses” may not be capable of scholarly research and writing?!? Imagine that

Those are the courses she taught, but she has masters and doctorate degrees in history (whose main focus would have been scholarly research and writing), capped by a law school Juris Doctorate.

So this Double-Doctor knew exactly what she was doing was wrong, both as an experienced postgraduate researcher and a legal expert. She was just arrogant enough to think she'd never get caught.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Exactly. Back in the day EVERYBODY in academia knew there were two ways to be terminated even if you were a tenured Prof. Plagerism was one of them.

How long before it will be (fill in the blank) fault?

The I in DEI (Inclusion) must mean Include what I copy/paste from something else...

Sometimes clown world offers humor. I got a good laugh at this story.

There can be no "scholarly" research into something that is a load of bullshit and is not backed up by any objective facts. The only option is to make shit up. And once you make shit up, copying other made up shit isn't much of a stretch.

She will get a promotion and a pay raise
