It's only a matter of time before he runs for office as Trunp 2.0.

He is white, male, and rich, what does his religion have to do with his obnoxious stance?

My point obviously is that he uses his status in a minority religion as a convenient cudgel and to justify his behavior.

Would you say the same about a wealthy black donor who decided to speak up and refuse to continue donating upon the discovery that the university had no problem with protesters screaming ugly things about black people and allowing black people to be harassed? We'll wait while you twist yourself into a pretzel, trying to answer.

Ackman didn't just speak up and withhold donations. He basically said Gay was only hired bc of DEI considerations, stirred up an online mob against her for plagiarism and is now using his wife's outing to go after an entire university faculty. He's not principled and I am not twisting myself into a pretzel. But he sure is.

Why are you defending this guy? He's quite repugnant for a variety of reasons.

I've already seen some people claim this is a nothing burger - but Ackman himself went out of his way to forgive her on Twitter...

“Part of what makes her human is that she makes mistakes, owns them, and apologizes when appropriate”

Whether or not this is true, she is not the president of an academic institution who cited that condemning threats to a group of people at an organization that she was responsible for depended on the context.

No comparison. Again, what-about-ism is astonishing. That’s all you folks can do. Schoolyard chants and ridiculous “I know you are but what am I” retorts. Rah rah team

Ok so at the very least, Ackman et al. are lying cheating hypocrites and at most Dori or Noro or whatever her name is, needs to have her PhD revoked yesterday. She is a fraud.

Nothing about Ackman was a lie, a cheat, or hypocritical. You’d make a terrible attorney.

He is now married to his home wrecker who directly plagiarized Wikipedia. I can’t think of more irony or hypocrisy.

DP. Why do you keep referring to his wife as a "homewrecker"? All of your posts are unhinged, but that one isn't even close to being true. He and his first wife divorced in 2016 and he and his present wife married in 2019. Maybe you should seek therapy for your irrational anger.

I’m not angry, I believe the new upgraded wife was just waiting in the wings. He leveled up, traded in his old worn out starter wife. It’s blatantly obvious, happens all the time.

You have serious issues, not the least among them your misandry.

That’s hardly misandry. It does happen often, and recognizing that fact has nothing to do with hatred.

DP. The misogyny of the progressive left these days is really something to see.

Exactly, women are being cancelled here in the US but we must focus our attention on the ME. Hmmm

It’s nice that Bill forgave his wife for directly plagiarizing Wiki articles. I wonder if his first wife forgave Bill for ruining their family?

You realize that all these repeated weird assertions about the private lives of the Ackman family make normal readers of the thread sympathetic to his cause? You come across as deeply strange.

Because he's performed a valuable service that needed to be done. He's just the flip side of Penny Pritzker who has $3.2 billion and put Gay in the job she wasn't qualified for in the first place and defended her until her fellow multi-millionaire/billionaire broke ranks and she lost their support.

I mean there seems to be not a lot of hard evidence for Gay’s credentials at this point. A shockingly high percentage of her thin academic history was plagiarized. We can all read the plagiarism and it was extensive. She’s ultimately in charge of student disciplinary actions where they would be punished a lot more than she was if they had done the same thing. (Not my analysis, read the Harvard Crimson.

Why are you so dedicated to ignoring the facts here?

Also, if there are other academics that have cheated to the same extent as Gay, I don’t really have a problem with identifying that cheating. Frankly most faculty should welcome the sunlight; right now their scrambling to condemn Ackman just seems to confirm what is becoming increasingly obvious: that academia is filled with cheaters.

And when Ackman finds them he will serve them all with divorce papers. All of them except Oxman. Because he has already forgiven her for apologizing after being exposed

Academia does seem to be filled with cheaters from all walks of life, including this guy’s wife. So, all of these cheaters should be called out and have their credentials revoked. He may forgive her all he wants but she remains a cheater and it’s hypocritical of him to focus on and decry plagiarism from anyone when his soulmate is a plagiarist. He needs to climb down from his ivory tower and come to terms with this fact.

Your obsession with their marriage is unhinged. You sound like a borderline stalker. So weird.

I don’t care whether he’s a hypocrite or not in his personal life. If he is exposing rampant cheating in academia, more power to him. The academy is obviously unable to police itself. When you have both the president of Harvard and Stanford resigning within years of each other because of cheating that was clearly tolerated by their institutions, there is obviously a problem.

Whether Oxman forgives his wife is irrelevant. What only matters is whether MIT does. How many other professors plagiarized their PhDs and books, and why don’t the universities care about that? They destroy the lives of undergraduates who do less than what Gay did. But their professors are sacred and untouchable?

Why he is forgiving one academic for flagrant plagiarism and not another (or others plural as he uncovers them) is not interesting. The fact that there are people who will accept this thuggish hypocrisy is very interesting.

Who are “people” and what do you mean by “accept”? Be specific.

The current academic climate is full of people who don’t really belong there and didn’t honestly earn the credentials they possess. Yea, good on Ackman for exposing them yay. But if he is truly so concerned with plagiarism why did he wait so long to finally bring this to light? This is nothing new. Why does he care now? He should care that his wife is a plagiarist because that means she is a fraud in a way, correct? She isn’t exactly who she portrays herself to be. I may be strange for thinking along these lines but I despise hypocrisy.

He just seems like a Class A dick and seems so hateable on multiple levels. I have known people who remind me of him or how he portrays himself to be, and I hate them as well. He doesn’t seem like a genuine person. I just don’t like him. Sorry.
