Harvard revokes tenure from professor famous for ethics studies, first time in 80 years

  • Harvard University revoked tenure and ended the employment of professor Francesca Gino earlier in May 2025 amid data fraud allegations.
  • The revocation followed an 18-month investigation triggered by accusations from the Data Colada bloggers that Gino manipulated data in multiple research papers.
  • In 2023, Gino, a behavioral scientist recognized since 2010 for her work on honesty and ethics, was suspended without pay and prohibited from accessing campus while the university conducted its investigation.
  • In August 2023, she initiated a $25 million legal case targeting Harvard, its Business School Dean, and the bloggers, accusing them of defamation and discrimination, though a federal judge dismissed her defamation claims in September 2024.
  • The tenure revocation marks the first such case at Harvard since at least the 1940s and has sparked debate about research integrity and institutional responsibility in academia.
