Claudine Gay’s mentor should be ashamed of her refusal to share her data.

What is she hiding?

It is now incumbent for institutions like Harvard, Congress (who already launched a probe into her plagiarism), and the academic community to encourage the sharing of Claudine’s data to uphold the principles of openness and accountability in research. If the data is unproblematic, sharing it should not pose any issues.

[Brunet takes this beyond Harvard. This relates to Gay’s grant of tenure by Stanford based on a wafer-thin record of scholastic work, and questions got raised almost immediately about one of her papers. Brunet makes a case that the incident got memory-holed for some reason, but Gay still has never provided her data set for that work for peer review. — Ed]
