Original Note:
The thread contends that Gay's 1997 Ph.D. thesis violates the letter of Harvard's policies on plagiarism. However, Gay was obviously not bound to current policies as Harvard's Faculty of Arts & Sciences had a different definition of plagiarism as recently as September 1, 2021: https://research.fas.harvard.edu/policies/procedures-responding-allegations-misconduct-research
