Share this @internewscast.com

Harvard University has revoked the tenure of Francesca Gino, a professor of business administration, who was accused of data fraud.

Gino has been contesting the accusations for nearly four years, according to The Harvard Crimson. The student newspaper notes that Gino was renowned for her research on honesty and ethical conduct before she faced allegations of altering data to confirm her theories.

“This is the first time it has occurred in recent decades,” a Harvard spokesperson stated in an email to Fox News Digital concerning the tenure revocation.

Before losing academic security, Gino spent two years defending her position at the Ivy League institution. In 2018 and 2019, she was among the top five highest-paid employees at the esteemed university, receiving over $1 million in compensation annually, as reported by The Harvard Crimson.

She last publicly declared her innocence on her website. “I did not commit academic fraud. I did not manipulate data to produce a particular result. I did not falsify data to bolster any result. I did not commit the offense I am accused of. Period,” she wrote. 

Fox News Digital made attempts to reach Gino for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
