I wonder if he fabricated the data or if desperate graduate students did. In which case the ethical considerations are perhaps(?) slightly different and may be worth writing a paper about, with survey data of course, only slightly modified to support the field’s party line.

She. Professor Francesca Gino

And, in subsequent paragraphs, also Dan Ariely (he).

Dan Ariely is neither the subject of the article nor a professor at Harvard

I'm not supposed to imply that you didn't read the article.

If you read the underlying findings [1], there were two behavioral ethics studies with fabricated results. The first was conducted in 2012 and was supervised by Ariely.

I'm aware - in context, however, it appears *dsr was defending the use of 'he' used as a default without reading the article where the subject is clearly a 'she.' Whether another professor at Duke mentioned in the article supervised the study doesn't really matter.

"she was the only author involved in collecting and analyzing data for it, the trio reported"
