A disgraced Harvard professor accused of using fraudulent data in her studies is suing the university for at least $25 million, claiming that the school engaged in sexism in its decision to investigate and place her on administrative leave.
, Professor Francesca Gino claims that the school engaged in sexism in its decision to investigate and subsequently place her on administrative leave. “Harvard Business School discriminated against Plaintiff on the basis of sex when it elected to investigate her under a newly created policy specific to her case as opposed to relying on its existing policy and procedures,” the suit reads.
Gino is also suing three professors behind the blog “Data Colada,” which was the first to report Gino’s alleged falsification of data and, as the lawsuit claims, directly led to her investigation. Gino alleges in the suit that Data Colada “threatened” to post the allegations to their blog, and that Harvard negotiated with the blog to investigate her before the findings were published—allegedly behind Gino’s back.
