Francesca Gino, a prominent professor at Harvard Business School, was fired after an investigation found she had manipulated data in four studies to support her hypotheses. Her dismissal, unprecedented at Harvard—as no tenure has been revoked in decades—came after accusations were made by fellow researchers. Gino's work had been under scrutiny since 2023, leading to thorough examinations of her studies by faculty and an external forensics firm. While she asserted that any discrepancies might be due to errors, the findings ultimately resulted in her loss of tenure.
Francesca Gino, a behavioral scientist, was fired from Harvard for allegedly manipulating data across several studies contradicting her focus on dishonesty.
