(THE COLLEGE FIX) — Colleagues are coming to the defense of a Harvard University sociologist who was recently accused of plagiarism, arguing the claims are bogus and part of a larger attack on black female scholars in higher education.
Award-winning Harvard University Professor Christina Cross is under fire over allegations of plagiarism in a complaint first reported in mid-March by conservative education activist Christopher Rufo in City Journal.
The complaint, provided to Rufo, “documents a pattern of misappropriation in Cross’s dissertation and one other academic paper.”
