Harvard Revokes Tenure for Data Fraud

Harvard’s governing board stripped Business School professor Francesca Gino of tenure and terminated her employment after an internal probe concluded she manipulated data in multiple studies. This appears to be the first such tenure revocation by the Harvard Corporation in decades and follows court rulings that dismissed her defamation claims. — This sets a high‑profile precedent for how elite institutions may sanction research misconduct, reshaping norms around tenure’s protections, due process, and scientific credibility.
