A watchdog group is demanding an accreditation institution probe Harvard University over its handling of plagiarism allegations against its former president Claudine Gay — a move that could determine if the Ivy League school continues to receive hundreds of millions in federal funding, The Post has learned.
The American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a Washington, DC-based non-profit, sent a formal complaint this week to the New England Commission of Higher Education, a group that has been accrediting universities for the Department of Education since its founding in 1885.
Harvard’s compliance with NECHE’s standards is necessary for continued eligibility to receive funding under federal student loan programs, according to the complaint.
