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:

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.
- ksd482 4mo agoI 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.
