An Austrian professor known for exposing plagiarism says he identified multiple instances of lifted material by Vice President Kamala Harris in a book she co-authored on crime.
Dr. Stefan Weber, whose past work revealed academic misconduct by German and Austrian politicians and gave him a reputation as a “plagiarism hunter,” found over a dozen instances of lifted material in the book, according to Manhattan Institute writer Christopher Rufo. Passages in the book, published in 2009, were allegedly lifted from several sources, including a NBC News report, a press release from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Urban Institute, Rufo reported.
“We independently confirmed multiple violations, which are comparable in severity to the plagiarism found in former Harvard president Claudine Gay’s doctoral thesis,” Rufo wrote on X.
