Too bad Harvard doesn’t have similarly high standards.

  Can you elaborate ? Recently a Harvard president, Claudine Gay was sacked. Also Francesca Gino was also punished for her (alleged still ? ) fabrication of data. So what's the problem ?

    The problem is that Claudine Gay was not sacked, she was allowed to resign as president and is still, at this moment, a professor at Harvard. Here is her faculty web page: https://aaas.fas.harvard.edu/people/claudine-gay https://aaas.fas.harvard.edu/people/claudine-gay So Harvard employs, as a full professor, someone whose Ph.D. thesis contained loads of plagiarism (I’ve seen the evidence, it’s not contestable). A similar offense on the part of the students who sit in her classroom, according to Harvard’s own rules, could lead to expulsion. EDIT: Also, as pointed out in a comment below, Prof. Gay’s Ph.D. is from Harvard. It was not revoked.

      I wonder in the case of Francesca Gino, how much of that was driven by Harvard. I remember it was technically initiated by the Harvard business school, but it was probably triggered by data colada launching their own investigation. This speaks to your point.

        Unfortunately I’m not familiar with this case.
