In an interview with the Harvard Crimson, Gay apologizes for her remarks during the congressional hearing, saying, \"Words matter.\"
\"When words amplify distress and pain, I don't know how you could feel anything but regret,\" Gay tells the publication.
Magill voluntarily resigns as president of the University of Pennsylvania in the wake of the congressional hearing. She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law, the university's board said.
Amid questions over Gay's fate following the hearing, the Harvard Corporation issues a statement unanimously affirming its support for the president.
\"Our extensive deliberations affirm our confidence that President Gay is the right leader to help our community heal and to address the very serious societal issues we are facing,\" the Harvard Corporation says in the statement.
The board also addresses the plagiarism allegations, saying an independent review of three articles Gay published \"revealed a few instances of inadequate citations.\"
\"While the analysis found no violation of Harvard's standards for research misconduct, President Gay is proactively requesting four corrections in two articles to insert citations and quotation marks that were omitted from the original publications,\" the board says.
The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website, publishes an anonymous complaint addressed to the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences Research Integrity Office that alleges nearly 40 instances of plagiarism by Gay.
Harvard says it found two additional instances of \"duplicative language without appropriate attribution\" in Gay's 1997 dissertation, which had not been part of the original independent review, but that they did not amount to \"research misconduct,\" The New York Times reports. The university says Gay will update her dissertation \"correcting these instances of inadequate citation,\" the Times reports.
In a letter to the Harvard Corporation, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce says it has begun a review of Harvard's handling of \"credible allegations of plagiarism\" by Gay over 24 years.

The Washington Free Beacon publishes an anonymous complaint leveling six more accusations of plagiarism against Gay.
Gay announces her resignation as president in a lengthy letter to the school community.
\"This is not a decision I came to easily. Indeed, it has been difficult beyond words because I have looked forward to working with so many of you to advance the commitment to academic excellence that has propelled this great university across centuries.\"
\"But, after consultation with members of the Corporation, it has become clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual,\" the statement continued.
Alan Garber, provost and chief academic officer, will serve as interim president until a new leader takes office, according to the Harvard Corporation.
