Harvard University revoked the tenure of Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino after years of data fraud allegations, a university spokesperson confirmed.
Gino, widely known for researching honesty and ethical behavior, was placed on administrative leave in 2023 after multiple allegations of falsifying data surfaced.
A spokesperson for Harvard provided no additional details, noting that it does not discuss personnel matters. Gino also did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
No professors are known to have lost their tenure at Harvard since the 1940s, when the American Association of University Professors formalized rules of termination, according to The Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper.
Gino started working at Harvard Business School in 2010 as an associate professor of business administration, according to her extensive résumé, updated in June 2023. From 2018 to 2021, she was the head of the Negotiations, Organizations and Markets Unit.
Gino’s research has been widely featured in the media, such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and NBC News.
In 2021, three professors and behavioral researchers with a blog site, Data Colada, began examining a number of studies Gino co-authored over a decade and shared evidence they believed proved fraudulent data with the business school. More here
