A possible candidate to lead Chicago’s Department of Public Health, Eric Reinhart, posted a public apology for 'misrepresenting' himself as completing his Ph.D. at Harvard.
"Although I do not believe any of the above is directly related to instances over the last several months in which––to my knowledge––one journalist, one student conference, and an online AMA panel have incorrectly ascribed a PhD to me, including in the latter two cases after I had sent requested bios/credentials in which I did not include any claim of holding a PhD ," Reinhart wrote.
On Monday, his X bio stated"PhD pending." A review of his X account Wednesday morning showed he no longer had a biography on the social media account. Additionally, his biography on the Scholars At Harvard page can no longer be accessed by the public, Fox News Digital found. "I have also now learned of a new accusation that I have falsely claimed a role at the World Bank Research Group. This is not true. The accusation is that I claimed to be the Lead of the Data and Evidence for Justice Reform program. I have never claimed that," Reinhart wrote in the apology letter.
Reinhart’s supervisor, identified as Daniel Chen, posted on X that he told Reinhart to use the title"Lead Health Researcher.""I'm DE JURE Lead and Eric's supervisor at WB Research Group. I told him to use the title of Lead Health Researcher. WB officials later informed me the more appropriate title for his contract type was Principal Investigator. He then changed his title upon my request," Chen posted Sunday.
"Daniel Chen is not employed by the World Bank, he is not the DE JURE lead, and does not lead any of our projects or programs," the World Banks' Arianna Legovini posted.
