• Duke University says it is “concerned” and will investigate a student’s graduation speech from Sunday, which closely mirrors a commencement address given at Harvard University in 2014.
• “We are aware of and concerned about these allegations and have initiated a process to understand the facts of the situation,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “Duke University expects all students to abide by their commitment to the Duke Community Standard in everything they do as students.”
• Class of 2022 speaker Priya Parkash gave the address Sunday at Wallace Wade Stadium, and by Monday, at least one tweet appeared alleging plagiarism, noting Sarah Abushaar’s 2014 speech at Harvard, which has nearly 4 million views on YouTube.
• Through a public relations spokesman, Parkash issued a statement Tuesday night taking “full responsibility.”
• The Chronicle’s story appeared online Monday night, displaying transcripts from both speeches. In one section, both speakers describe experiences with security checkpoints while returning to the United States.
