The Presidents of Harvard, MIT, Penn, Columbia, Cornell, Penn should be forced to resign

Woke people can’t have original ideas
They hate art
They hate science
They had comedy

@Salvy

of course they plagiarize

 

Why do these clowns keep using those tired old racecards?

 

The woke leftists have perfected the victim mindset and whenever they screw up, that's all they have to fall back

 

Does she get reparations if she plagiarizes?
Does she have to give a portion of her $900000 salary to the original writers ?

If she was at a historically black college like Howard , would she not qualify since that’s not diversity?

 

I'll give Ackman credit for explaining himself, but he wrote a book/memoir i had no intention of reading...

 

I read it. I thought he might be able to give the robust, intellectual anti-DEI argument, instead of the troll version I usually hear around here. Alas, I'm disappointed. He strawmans, engages in some lazy logic, mischaracterizes facts, and presumes his own value set is universal. I should have known better. He might be a Harvard alum, but he's a hedge fund manager not a philosophy professor.

 

wtf, I love fetterman now:

 

@basso
@Os Trigonum
@Salvy
@FranchiseBlade

 

Yea **** cancel culture .


Also convenient, why didn’t you post about how his wife got caught with 4 paragraphs , plagiarizing without appropriate citations in her dissertation. More being unearthed too as they're finding other pubs where she outright copied and pasted

Ackna is the guy that used covid to profit off the markets trying to tank a lot of companies, and before that knew Epstein well. He’s a piece of human excrement. Unfortunately people are riding his self serving cancel culture parade

She already appologized so I find it hard to believe you missed this article in the sea of selected tweet garbage

Neri Oxman, an academic and wife of billionaire investor Bill Ackman, plagiarized parts of her doctoral dissertation at MIT, according to a report from Business Insider.

Ackman has become one of the most prominent critics amplifying a series of accusations, including plagiarism, against Harvard’s leader, who resigned this week.

The Business Insider report, which CNN could not independently verify, said Oxman “plagiarized multiple paragraphs of her 2010 doctoral dissertation.” The report “found at least one passage directly lifted from other writers without citation.”

Oxman, an American–Israeli designer, wrote a more than 800-word response to Business Insider on social media Thursday. Oxman acknowledged that there were four paragraphs in her 330-page dissertation in which she correctly cited her sources but “did not place the subject language in quotation marks, which would be the proper approach for crediting the work. I regret and apologize for these errors.”

Omitting quotation marks is a violation of MIT’s academic integrity handbook, “both as it is currently written and as it was at the time,” Business Insider wrote.

Oxman said that Business Insider was unwilling to give her sufficient time to check a source in one of the disputed paragraphs because the source was not online.

“When I obtain access to the original sources, I will check all of the above citations and request that MIT make any necessary corrections,” she said in the statement.

The plagiarism accusations lobbed at former Harvard president Claudine Gay were similarly technical — many related to “inadequate citations,” according to Harvard. Gay says she promptly requested corrections in her writings upon learning of the errors and denies she ever claimed credit for others’ research.

One of the scholars Gay quoted improperly, David Canon, has spoken out in her defense.

“I am not at all concerned about the passages … This isn’t even close to an example of academic plagiarism,” Canon told CNN.

  Israeli-born designer and academic Prof. Neri Oxman, the wife of billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, has apologized for several errors in her 2010 dissertation, after Business Insider alleged it contained a number of instances of plagiarism.
  
  Earlier this week, Business Insider reported Oxman had “plagiarized multiple paragraphs of her 2010 doctoral dissertation.”
  
  Ackman was a leading figure in the campaign to oust Harvard president Claudine Gay, citing both her failure to tackle antisemitism on campus and the accusations of plagiarism against her. He said the allegations against his wife were part of “attacks on his family” due to his “actions to address problems in higher education.”
  
  Oxman wrote on X Thursday that in four cases in the 330-page work, though she did cite the sources for her text in the paragraph, she “did not place the subject language in quotation marks, which would be the proper approach for crediting the work.”
  
  She also acknowledges that in one other case, she paraphrased the work of another writer without proper attribution, while noting she had acknowledged him and clearly quoted him in multiple instances throughout the work.
  
  “I regret and apologize for these errors,” she wrote.

  After she made her statement, Business Insider on Saturday published further allegations, saying the dissertation contained at least 15 passages it claimed had been lifted straight from Wikipedia, without quotations or attribution. Oxman had not yet responded as of Saturday evening.
  
  Gay resigned earlier this week amid plagiarism accusations and criticism over testimony at a US congressional hearing where she was unable to say unequivocally that calls on campus for the genocide of Jews would violate the school’s conduct policy.
  
  Following the hearing, Gay’s academic career came under intense scrutiny by activists who unearthed several instances of alleged plagiarism in her 1997 doctoral dissertation.
  
  Oxman was previously caught up in controversy in 2019, when it was revealed that convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein gifted some $125,000 to Oxman’s Mediated Matter research group at MIT’s prestigious Media Lab.
  
  Oxman said then she had been told at the time that Epstein was an approved donor, and said she regretted accepting the funds.
