Durham, N.C. — Duke University is looking into concerns that a student commencement speaker may have plagiarized parts of her speech.
“We are aware of and are concerned about these allegations and have initiated a process to understand the facts of the situation,” said the university in a Statement Tuesday.
Priya Parkash is the Duke student who gave the speech on Sunday.
According to the Duke Chronicle, several elements of the speech echo a former speech given at Harvard University in 2014 by then student Sarah Abushaar.
In a response sent to WRAL News Tuesday night, Parkash said:
“When I was asked to give the commencement speech, I was thrilled by such an honor and I sought advice from respected friends and family about topics I might address. I was embarrassed and confused to find out too late that some of the suggested passages were taken from a recent commencement speech at another university. I take full responsibility for this oversight and I regret if this incident has in any way distracted from the accomplishments of the Duke class of 2022."
