Overview

  • An 18-month internal investigation concluded that Gino manipulated data in several of her published studies.
  • Gino was placed on unpaid administrative leave in June 2023 after Data Colada researchers first raised concerns about her research integrity in 2021.
  • The unprecedented decision removes Gino from all teaching and research duties at Harvard Business School.
  • Gino denies any wrongdoing and has launched a website to contest the misconduct findings as baseless.
  • Her $25 million lawsuit against Harvard and Data Colada saw defamation counts dismissed in September 2024 while breach-of-contract claims continue in court.
