The wife of the hedge fund kingpin that led the charge against Claudine Gay is a plagiarizer too.

Bill Ackman, the billionaire hedge fund manager, campaigned against former Harvard president Claudine Gay, and vowed to check the work of the entire MIT faculty. His wife, Neri Oxman, a former MIT professor, is now accused of copying from Wikipedia.

Ooops.
"let he who cast the first stone" to
"everybody must get stoned"
Kind of a stretch there, isn't it? Not sure what some allegation about Ackman's wife has anything to do with Ms Gay's plagiarism.
A stretch is using quotation marks that would of been perhaps beneficial to both ladies, no ?
Or possibly the first quote pertaining to he who is absent of sin/wrong doing/plagerism just might be the better example to complain about it
and the second quote, well Hell, if shes doing it, lets ALL DO IT, and not talking about plagiarism, talking bout getting STONED ! c'MON Greg, dont leave me hanging ...
besides, don't want to get a cramp
Ooops what?
The questionably qualified "president of Harvard" refused to stand against antisemitism.
She had to step down. It is another stain on Harvard University.
Apparently she holds the free speech clause and the SCOTUS ruling that hate speech is protected free speech
in higher regard than being politically correct and telling some McCarthy like politician what they wanted to hear.
You mean there is free speech at Harvard for certain people?
Certainly not for Conservatives..
Yeah…her love of free speech is why Harvard was Ranked the worst university in the country at protecting it.
Calling for the genocide of Jews is about the only speech she deems worthy of protection.
Exactly, you never read about Harvard preventing a conservative speaker from addressing the campus.
I have zero reasons to follow Harvard, their officers or the largest academic endowment in the world.
It is a private University and doesn't have to follow the same rules as state run Universities.
Liberty University should be the exact opposite of all those damned far left liberal schools
but it isn't either.
Both "sides" do it, SSDD.
I haven’t praised Liberty University.
I’m not surprised.
Harvard received $22.2 million from 2016 until present from the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Work Study Program. The federally funded financial aid program is for U.S. citizens and permanent residents in college and working part time.

Furthermore:
Over 200 US universities including elite institutions Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been accused of raking in $13 billion in “undocumented contributions from foreign governments, ” according to a new report.
A sizable portion of the funds were said to be donated from authoritarian regimes around the globe including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China and the UAE, the report from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) claimed.
The huge windfall of cited money was not recorded with the US Department of Education between 2014 and 2019, the NCRI said.
Carnegie Mellon University received the most from foreign entities in that time span at $1.47 billion while Cornell University scooped up $1.29 billion, Harvard University notched $894 million and MIT collected $859 million, according to the report.
US universities including Cornell, Harvard, MIT raked in $13B in 'undocumented contributions' from foreign donors (nypost.com)
Yes, Harvard is well known as the Liberty University of the north. Excellent comparison.
If you read the link I provided, (/s), Liberty raked in $772 million in Federal $$ in spite of their "private status".
They "win" again.
And it will be a cold day in hell when they (Liberty or the like) are dragged before Congress for
similar third degree whataboutisms...
Have there been a lot of antisemitism demonstrations at Liberty?
You know there would have been, it appears unlike our friends at the liberal universities, conservative universities don’t support antisemitism.
Again, if you think Harvard is on the same level as Liberty, an avowedly Christian school whose mission is to infuse students with Christianity and that is among the lowest ranked schools in the country, I'm not going to argue. It's reputation for academic excellence and independent inquiry really has been destroyed if that's the standard you want to hold it to.
Putting aside the lack of anti-semitic demonstrations at Liberty, Congress doesn't "drag" Liberty's leaders before it for the same reason they don't bring in the leaders of Valdosta State University or Tennessee-Murphysboro.
So you support suppressing the right to assemble to protest if it doesn't agree with your ideology.
Does that apply to Nazis and White Supremacists Militias and the KKK too?
Does any opposition to Israeli policies ( including the genocide of Hamas ) equal "anti-semiticism"?
I think not.
"Anti semiticism" is just this months bone for our home grown internet activists.
Is this trivia supposed to be a defense of Claudine Gay?
Exactly, whatabout…
Ackman should be embarrassed.
Bet you he is not.
Let’s hope that Wikipedia has archived its words from 15 years ago.
I thought no one cared about plagiarism
So, nothing to say about the actual article.
I actually read and understood the article before commenting, so I was curious why the author who consistently said no one cares about plagiarism and was upset that the media covered the story about the President of Harvard being a serial plagiarizer, feels the plagiarism of this academic is worthy of discussion. Is being the wife of a left wing Democratic mega donor more important than the President of Harvard?
But sure if the anger of a left wing activist over Gay's anti-semitism is going to end up resulting in progressive scholars being exposed as plagiarists, that's fine by me. Pass the popcorn.
Yes, I looked him up on Open Secrets and the vast majority of his 174 political donations were to Dems. The few Repubs included Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Susan Collins. Interesting was two donations to McCain, maybe when it looked like Lieberman was going to be his running mate.
Ackman's alleged "progressivism" has nothing to do with this story, or the other one.
So you're disregarding the plagiarism that she committed when this this whole thing started over plagiarism. Good to know.
OMG, LOL well yeah I would think that people are interested in her plagiarism, since her husband led the charge to get her fired.
Cheers.
I believe in the whole person concept. He and his wife have a progressively impressive foundation.
“I thought no one cared about plagiarism.”
That is painfully obvious if one spend any time around here. Nary an original thought, but plenty of parroting.
In this case, it seems to only matter when the person is Jewish. If the person is the correct political party and/or checks off the needed DEI/Affirmative Action boxes, plagiarism isn't a big deal.
It is odd. Oxman is a good progressive who donates to left wing candidates. So it's not her politics....
Not only Jewish, but a damn Israeli that served her time in their military.
Yes, she served in the Israeli Air Force and attained the rank of First Lieutenant.
Have any more irrelevant comments ?
Ackman has promised:
We will begin with a review of the work of all current MIT faculty members, President Kornbluth, other officers of the Corporation, and its board members for plagiarism. We will be using MIT's own plagiarism standards which can be found here: https:// integrity.mit.edu/handbook/what- plagiarism We will share our findings in the public domain as they are completed in the spirit of transparency.
There might be a whole lot of whataboutism coming up.
So the comment was not about Neri Oxman, the person the article is about?
How arrogant does one have to be to accuse someone of being a plagiarizer when you are one yourself? She didn't think anyone would check at the university that she taught at as their president is also under scrutiny
Maybe she wanted the Harvard job.
Who did oxman accuse of plagiarism?
Why wouldn't her husband have asked her before he went on a crusade against Gay?
Oops, no pillow talk, and with him leading the charge to get rid of Gay one would think he would cover all bases, after all, he is a billionaire.
Where did oxman accuse gay of plagiarism?
He’s a Harvard alumni who’s donated tens of millions of dollars to the school. He is an American Jew and his wife is an Israeli American Jew. I guess how the university has handled antisemitism there and Gay’s testimony pushed him over the edge.
That was 100% the source of his anger with Gay and Harvard.
Why would he?
My sister-law was murdered some years ago. Her brother was going to speak for the family to the judge before sentencing. He didn’t ask my sister beforehand if she had ever murdered someone. He just assumed that she hadn’t.
Why would she not admit to it (told him) before he commenced his crusade. . . knowing from her background that certain matters/issues ignite and invite controversy?
Perhaps embarrassment.
I doubt it, she left MIT and moved to NYC where she has a design and architecture company.
You probably would admire some of her work, she sees nature as a co-client.
I don't admire any plagiarizer, off with their heads.
This is a pretty simple story. The guy who went on a crusade against Gay has plagiarism in his own marriage. The rest of this on this seed is all irrelevant.
It seems that it's virtually impossible for some to accept that fact and they have to make excuses for her.
Plagiarism is plagiarism, end of story.
Uh, oh! Joe Biden and Claudine Gay better watch out!
The only ones talking about politics here are the right wingers.
One an accusation isn’t proof and perhaps more importantly, if guilty, she may have kept it as her little secret.
I don’t think that this story has legs, he has two many important and connected beneficiaries and she has an impressive design and architecture portfolio.
Almost everything has a political perspective. You don’t think that both her university protection and then her resignation was political?
I haven’t made an excuses for her.
it's a done deal
Maybe MIT will strip her of her doctorate degree.
Exactly, happy that you picked up on that, we should also add others from both parties.
From my comment,
''It seems that it's virtually impossible for some to accept that fact and they have to make excuses for her.
Let the Plagiarism War begin.
[deleted]
Actually the whole seed seems a bit irrelevant.
I mistakenly thought that the seeder was against whataboutism.
That's interesting. . . . If true about her. . . you suggest her "open secret" should be a "little secret" (well-kept) but the nation should go public with all other plagiarizers of another 'group.' Speaks volumes.
I didn’t suggest anything, I predicted. Your confusion speaks volumes.
So in your opinion and "prediction" her plagiarizing does not have story legs, because of class/status. As who they are (ought) to be a factor that matters.
I don’t control mainstream media.
And, for our purposes, who this pair are in society should not be a guiding consideration.
Again, I don’t control mainstream media
You do control what you choose to write, nevertheless. I hope you were as considerate of Claudine Gay's plagiarism as you are of this, though time won't permit to research that article for your treatment of her.
Obviously.
I don’t know what you mean,
Huh.
So let’s get this straight, in a 340 page doctorate dissertation she forgot quotation marks 4 times, but what the times and this bullshit hit piece failed to note, unlike that piece of shit Gay with over 60 different instances, Oxman actually,
For each of the four paragraphs in question, I properly credited the original source’s author(s) with references at the end of each of the subject paragraphs, and in the detailed bibliography end pages of the dissertation,”
I guess the nit picking antisemitic jackasses aren’t as smart as they think over at the times.
The NYT has a very long history of antisemitism.
Yes, and her billionaire husband has now stated that he is going to hire people to review all the works of business insider’s employees for plagiarism.
I explicitly remember MAGAs on NT making noises about DEI and 'IDENTITY' politics being steps in the wrong direction. Being a Jew* and antisemitic are related identifiers, thus as MAGA will have it antisemitism should not be an issue for MAGA commenters.
* Of course, being a Jew matters. And, antisemitic statements matter. Just want MAGA to be consistent across the board with its societal "colorblindness." Either identity matters (MAGAs) or it does not matter.
The lefties, as usual, are trying to cover for an incompetent box checking diversity hire.
"Lefties" - so inconsistent. MAGA can not get over identity politics and at the same time use identity in politics to negate Others.
I doubt that Neri Oxman’s life experience has much in common with American groups.
Don't know what that direct comment has to do with what I wrote.
I’m not sure what you meant with your comment but I knew not to ask you so I guessed.
Don't worry about it; it was not meant for someone else, anyway.
No worries here.
Oops: It was meant for someone else anyway.
It can be so confusing.
