When Academics: Questioned Data in a 2001 Stanford Paper Share Research
When academics questioned data in a 2001 Stanford paper, embattled Harvard president Claudine Gay refused to share research.
President of Harvard University Claudine Gay is currently facing criticism for her work due to allegations of plagiarism and antisemitism. It has come to light that two professors questioned a data method she used in a 2001 Stanford paper, which frequently produced “logical inconsistencies.” Despite this, she declined to share her research with them.
According to a post on the Dossier by Christopher Brunet, the 2001 study, “The Effect of Black Congressional Representation on Political Participation,” was one of four peer-reviewed articles that helped Gay secure tenure at Stanford University. However, not everyone was able to fairly evaluate its merits.

In 2002, Remsen’s Michael C. Herron the fundamental tenets of Gay’s research were allegedly refuted by Kenneth W. Shotts, the David S. and Ann M. Barlow professor of political economy at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and 1943 professor of quantitative social science at Dartmouth.
That year, Herron and Shotts presented their findings at a Society for Political Methodology (PolMeth) conference.
They pointed out contradictions in Gay’s paper, in which she concluded that the election of African Americans to Congress has a negative impact on white political involvement and infrequently increases black political engagement.

The two professors claim that the statistical technique known as ecological regression (El-R), which Herron and Shotts have spent years proving results in “logical inconsistencies,” served as the foundation for Gay’s analysis and extrapolations.
While Shotts and Herron emphasized mistakes made by other Researchers using El-R observed that because Gay refused to share her research with them, their investigation into how she arrived at her conclusion and the statistics she provided was restricted.
The researchers stated in their 2002 publication that “we were, however, unable to scrutinize Gay’s results because she would not release her dataset to us.”

Herron revealed to The Post on Tuesday that he and Shotts had written several reports from 2000 to 2004 examining the applications of El-R and the kinds of outcomes it can yield in research.
When The Post asked Gay and Stanford to comment on the contradictions Herron and Shotts had pointed out, they did not reply.
Brunet also pointed out that the conference website did not have the 2002 PolMeth program, which contained Herron and Shotts’ paper remarks before the House Education Committee, skirting inquiries about whether or not antisemitic chants were against the campus conduct code.
