Francesca Gino update

I have been following this case closely and have blogged about it before. (See here, here, here, and here.) In brief, Francesca Gino, the disgraced Harvard Business School (HBS) professor who was celebrated for her research on honesty and ethical behavior (!), had been accused of faking her research results. (See, for example, the YouTube video below.) Now, according to this report in yesterday’s (26 May) edition of the Harvard Crimson, Harvard University has revoked her academic tenure and ended her employment at HBS. For my part, I explore the possibility of extending tort liability to data fraud in my 2017 paper “Legal Liability for Research Fraud“.
