The Associated Press faced criticism after initially framing plagiarism as a "new conservative weapon" in the wake of Harvard president Claudine Gay's resignation due to plagiarism allegations. The article suggested that the scrutiny of Gay's academic work was part of a broader conservative strategy to challenge liberal academia.
