Harvard's actions are also consistent with her not doing good research. Note that she was not snapped up by another institution to be faculty, just a "tenure track position". One red flag is that the reporter cites all the times she talked to media and congress. A good indicator that it was superficial and headline driven work.

I'm sure she was a valuable source for reporters needing dramatic quotes on a slow news day, but really there should be more heft than that.

More than that, the reporter mentions "donors who contributed millions of dollars to her work", implying how valuable her "research" was. But given the nature of that "research" you could also ask yourself, if this isn't basically the same kind of "donation" as Facebook being accused of here, just different beneficiary.
