(CNN) 鈥� Harvard President Claudine Gay submitted corrections to two scholarly articles published in 2001 and 2017 following聽allegations of plagiarism, University spokesperson Jonathan L. Swain told CNN on Friday.
Harvard commissioned an independent review of Gay鈥檚 writings following the plagiarism accusations. Gay denied the allegations, saying in a statement last week that she stands by the integrity of her scholarship.
鈥淭hroughout my career, I have worked to ensure my scholarship adheres to the highest academic standards,鈥� she said.
The Harvard Corporation, the university鈥檚 top governing body, on Tuesday announced that the review revealed inadequate citations in a few instances but 鈥渘o violation of Harvard鈥檚 standards for research misconduct.鈥� It said then that Gay would request 鈥渇our corrections in two articles to insert citations and quotation marks that were omitted from the original publications.鈥�
Swain聽on Friday聽confirmed Gay made the corrections聽in an emailed statement. He said that the edits involved 鈥渜uotations marks and citations,鈥� correcting a reference to three articles, according to Harvard鈥檚 student newspaper聽.
a billionaire Harvard donor and vocal critic of Gay, has recently been calling on Gay to resign, in part because of allegations of plagiarism. But the Harvard Corporation said that the review was requested before Ackman first made his claims of plagiarism last Saturday.
鈥淲ith regard to President Gay鈥檚 academic writings, the University became aware in late October of allegations regarding three articles,鈥� the Harvard Corporation said in its Tuesday statement. 鈥淎t President Gay鈥檚 request, the Fellows promptly initiated an independent review by distinguished political scientists and conducted a review of her published work. On December 9, the Fellows reviewed the results, which revealed a few instances of inadequate citation.鈥�
