Princeton University is "reviewing" the plagiarism allegations
against progressive history professor Kevin Kruse, the
university's student newspaper reported on Tuesday—over half a
year after they were first raised.

"We are carefully reviewing the concerns that have been shared
with the University, and will handle them in accordance with
University policy," Princeton University spokesman Michael
Hotchkiss told Daily Princetonian. Hotchkiss did not say whether
Princeton would open a full investigation into the allegations.

The review follows months of silence by the university, which
says it "overlooked" a December 6 email from the economic
historian Phil Magness about possible instances of plagiarism in
Kruse's academic work. Magness didn't receive a substantive
reply from the university until June 17, three days after he
published an article in Reason outlining the evidence that Kruse
repeatedly plagiarized other scholars' books.

"We take such allegations very seriously, and we will carefully
consider the concerns you have raised," Deputy Dean of the
Faculty Toni Turano told Magness in an email reviewed by the
Washington Free Beacon. "Please feel free to send us any
additional information to explain and support your allegations."

In public, Princeton has been much less solicitous. It has not
posted an official statement on any university website, nor did
it reply to Reason‘s or the Free Beacon‘s requests for comment
when the story first broke.

The hushed delays accentuate the contrast between Princeton's
treatment of Kruse and its treatment of Joshua Katz, the star
classics professor who criticized the school's racial politics.
University officials condemned Katz—and implied publicly they
were investigating him—days after he published his criticisms in
a July 2020 essay for Quillette. When they received "new
information" about a consensual relationship he'd had with a
student over a decade earlier, it took them less than a month to
launch a formal investigation, which resulted in his dismissal
in May.

The contrast between Katz and Kruse has raised eyebrows among
alumni and current students, who say it suggests a political
double standard at the Ivy League school.

"??Will Professor Kruse face Katz's fate—stripped of tenure and
fired?" Princeton senior Abigail Anthony asked in National
Review. "If so, Princeton students will learn a lesson in whom
not to copy from. If not, they will learn instead that the rules
don't apply to the people with power and the ‘correct' opinions."

Kruse has made a name for himself by accusing
conservatives—especially Christian conservatives—of distorting
history, prompting the Chronicle of Higher Education to dub him
"history's attack dog." Those attacks became less frequent after
the plagiarism allegations came to light: Kruse, who would
regularly post Twitter threads attacking Republicans, has not
been active on the platform since June 14.
